What channel will the World Championships be on?

[frankbones]

I searched and couldn't find anything on the USA Basketball or FIBA site. I hope it is not on TNT. We do not have TNT HD on Comcast here for some odd reason.

maybe ABC?

[mojobo]

usually all the international stuff is on abc/ espn like the world cup

I remember last time the world championships were on ESPN... hopefully they will be again this year, cause I'm sure pretty much everyone with HD service gets ESPN HD.

See, I could have sworn they were on TNT in 2002. I could be wrong though. I hope it's ESPN.

i read somewhere that some games were on TNT and others were on abc/ ESPN

Is it wierd that nobody can get confirmation on where these games will be broadcasted?

you'd think they would be advertising it by now

[mojobo]

since its not for a while probably nobody bought the rights to it yet.

Aren't they in Asia? If so the games wouldn't be on until like 3 AM so maybe they're just not going to televise it at all?

I'm guessing they'll show taped games on ESPN/ABC.

I looked on the FIBA website and they had a listing of what network would carry it in different countries but there was nothing listed for the U.S. yet. I guess it's still up in the air.

You can 100% be guaranteed that if nothing else - they will be on NBATV - 5 bucks a month and there is always something I will watch on when I've seen whatever is on the NFL Network.


I even watch that dumb White Shadow show. BOLOGNA!

I saw that. I think most of USA's games are at 7:30pm local except for the 1st one against Puerto Rico at 2:00pm.

I believe there is a 14 hour time difference from the East Cast to Japan. So the 1st game will be on at midnight EST, 10pm for me. It looks like the other games will be 5:30am EST and 3:30am for me. I'll probably Tivo them and watch before I go to work.

If they show them live.
