[DomeIsHome]

Montana folks aren't too happy about ESPN and their coverage of the first round...now politicians are involved. They solve everything!

Wow this shows you two things. Montana fans think that people outside of their state truly care about them. Secondly there is absolutely nothing to do it Montana.

Why not tell bresen, the dominant ISP in MT to pony up for ESPN3 access?

exactly. instead of writing to ESPN and politicians, they should write to their internet service providers. (or switch to one that does provide ESPN3)

Hey Iowa geniuses, there are no providers in our state, so there's nowhere to switch providers.

Two options for you

1. Write your provider
2. Don't live in Montana

Reading comprehensive never was a strong suit of my sister-in law either, another U of MT product

ESPN3 is not available to residents of Montana unless their Internet provider is 3 Rivers Communications, which is headquartered in Fairfield, Range Telephone Cooperative out of Forsyth, or Triangle Communications out of Havre.

Last time I was in Harve, I didn't notice that they had succeeded from the state. Granted, Harve isn't much more than a wide spot in the road, but the point still stands. Call Bresnan and get them to sign up with EPSN3. Its quite a great product.

Re: Montana and ESPN

I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle." And drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?

Re: Montana and ESPN

GREAT FIRST POST!

or we just think you are bunch of whiney *****es who think the ENTIRE country should give a damn about Montana and don't like finding out that Oh MY GAWD they don't.

Your not understanding the point. We dont want ESPN to show this game nationally. We just want to be able to watch the game on the local channel. The local channels play the Griz and Cat games on tv so the people of montana can watch the game. Its not like other states where there are plenty of other teams that compete for coverage. Its either your a Griz or a Cat..

Love that movie!

ESPN3 is a great product but I hate their distribution method. I would gladly pay for the service but they won't let me. I have no ISPs available that offer it. Can you really blame ISPs for not wanting to charge every subscriber for a service used by a few.
