and1mixtape 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2007 I don't post here much but i have to say something on this topic.As far as i know we are the only city with an nba team that can not watch our OWN team on the city's largest cable provider.There is no excuse for this and i blame magic management.I sent an email blasting the magic but i doubt anyone high up will see it.We have supported this team for 18 years and this is the thanks we get.......A big dump taken on us the die hard magic fan.

ThisIsTheYear 241 Report post Posted October 30, 2007 I still don't understand how this hasn't been resolved yet. They stated that they would meet an agreement before the season started. I knew they were just spewing bull$hit out of their mouths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donaburd 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2007 I am new here and although I don't post, I do read and enjoy the boards nightly. I wanted to post tonight as I have been sending emails and making calls to FSN, BH and the Magic Org. Today I received answers which I wanted to share as I know you are all doing what you can also to get a settlement. I'm not sure how to do this, hope it works and I don't break any rules. lol FROM FSN: Donna, > > Thank you for taking the time to send your email.

Live or Die Magic 383 Report post Posted October 30, 2007 Donaburd....you did just fine and you didn't break any rules! Thanks for joining the boards...I hope you will stick around and continue posting in addition to reading. Thanks for sharing the correspondence you received from the Magic. My response to their email would be that for the last 18 seasons, the games HAVE been available on Brighthouse's expanded basic line-up. It was the Magic who initially made the decision to do away with those games not on Sun Sports. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donaburd 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2007 Thanks Mod. and thanks for the suggestion. I will include it in my reply. I just realized something. This is my letter to the Magic. Checkout the line at top "Importance". LOW! If that is what I think it means I am really ticked off now. Is that how they think of us? Will have to shoot off another email, not that I think it will do any good but will make me feel better. lol -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DonnaF Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2007 1:46 AM To: Fan Relations Subject: [Possible SPAM] TV coverage Importance: Low Please forward to appropriate person. Since the Magic sold the tv rights to FSN there has been nothing but frustration and anxiety for your Magic fan base. I'm wondering why your powers-to-be did not take into consideration, that by doing this so many of your fans on cable service would not be able to follow their team on tv. I don't understand how you could have done this to your loyal fans who also helped you get your new arena passed. Many of them attended the meetings and most of us sent many emails in support. Now it sounds like the negotiations between FSN and BH are getting nowhere, and the first game is just a few days away. Are you even aware of what's going on here? It looks like we could use some Magic intervention to help settle this problem. The few games on SUN network is just not enough. We should be able to get all of them. I am hopeing you will step up and return the loyalty we have all given this organization, and see what you might be able to do regarding the negotiations so that those of us who cannot get to games will all be in front of our TV's on game night.

apkfan 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 Has anyone thought about emailing the Magic's sponsors? When less people see their commercials that means less revenue for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LetsGoMagic 3 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 I would like to say thank you to the Orlando Magic for blocking me from watching the game at my comfortable home tonight. I really appreciate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
