Solid so far by Jim Erickson. Love how Lou can work in how he watched some game from some exotic location.

I agree! I do not remember it being this bad last yearhshockeyfan8 wrote:The stream on prep45.com is awful. Missed almost all of the first period of b'ville vs Wayzata. Waste of 15 dollars.
saw a tweet last night that refunds will be given to those who paid up to yesterday.ShakestheClown wrote:The Prep45 stream has been horrible. If you are going to charge people to use a product then it should work as advertised...
Only problem with that is then it can only be viewed with a cable or satellite subscription. FSN doesn't allow streaming on a computer or mobile device as far as I'm aware.Vapor wrote:Curious when 45 contract ends. Would love to see FSN get the TV rights. Needs to be in HD.
Best part of the tournament so far is the couple new commercials that have been played 200 times each. Pretty sure I was rehearsing them in my sleep last night again.Hawkyfan70 wrote:At least the commercials seem to work without issue
Tonight I only have a 450 option. Definitely not working smooth tonight.goldy313 wrote:If I remember from past years it is pretty bad during the day on Thursday and Friday. I missed the first period as well, it wouldn't load. Following grindians suggestion I turned down the setting to 300 and it's been much better with no lagging or buffering like I had during the first game.
They extended it to 2021 back in 2009. Something tells me the league doesn't like to negotiate these things.Vapor wrote:Curious when 45 contract ends. Would love to see FSN get the TV rights. Needs to be in HD.
It is in HD in and around the Twin Cities. Excellent PQ.Vapor wrote:Curious when 45 contract ends. Would love to see FSN get the TV rights. Needs to be in HD.
It's my understanding that for some time now the contract has covered all televised tournaments, boys/girls hockey, b/g basketball and football. MSHSL may not have a whole lot of bidders. In the one class era the hockey contract was bid separately. It was always the subject of some intrigue. When the tourney was split, it really diminished the value to any broadcaster.ZachHalverson wrote:They extended it to 2021 back in 2009.

It is too bad they aren't able to sell ad time to some additional sponsors. But I suppose the reason they can't is because there isn't much demand from other companies to be one of the sponsors, and this is probably due to the so-so ratings the telecasts draw? (then again, the hockey tourneys are the only time I tune into to Channel 45, and I doubt that I'm alone in this regard!)Joe2015 wrote:But jeez do they have to show the same 4 commercials over and over?
Sorry to bump a year old thread but there was news on this earlier. KSTC and the MSHSL have extended there TV contract through the 2030-31 school year.ZachHalverson wrote:They extended it to 2021 back in 2009.
