I don't understand why the owned team isn't always on the owned station. Probably has something to do with money. Keep in mind that there are still about 20% of homes that can't get cable/satellite programming because they don't subscribe. Those are automatically excluded from the FSN games.
What I'd look at if I were them would be to create a 14.2 stream for KJZZ and bump the syndicated evening programming there on game nights, putting the Jazz game on 14.1 so everyone could get it. The rest of the time the 14.2 could be used for something like RTN or reruns of the games and news.

I'm in that 20% (and I wonder if it's become higher lately due to the economy). My reason, the price for cable/satellite was not worth it for the 3-5 cable channels that I would watch. Even then it was usually only one or two programs on those channels. I found that I didn't miss the shows that much when I cut the cord.
I agree that KJZZ should pick up a sub-channel or two. RTV would be good for retro shows. The new .2 Network is coming out (and built to be pre-empted for local news/sports/events/etc.) If they wanted to stick with a sports theme there is America One or the new @sportstv channel. TuffTV would also be a good fit (it's under the same management umbrella as RTV). Besides the Utah Jazz, KJZZ has contracts to carry Utah State and Weber State games which could be placed on the sub-channels as well.

FSN - TNT - NBA TV
If you don't have cable or satellite no Jazz games for you.
Schedule came out and no games on 14 this year? Or should I say 14.1

No games on broadcast at all. All but 2 will be on FSNRMU. The 2 that aren't will be on TNT. TNT has 3 other games also. 8 will be on ESPN. 8 will be on NBATV.

Last night the Utah Jazz announced that they would only be airing the games on FSN Utah (that are not picked up nationally) until 2021.  Utah Jazz Fail! If I were a sponsor for TV, I'd demand a 20% discount. Let's cut off a portion of our viewing audience all in the name of greed. No I will not get cable. It's not worth the money. |

The sponsors buy a promised distribution channel, so no discount there. Possibly a make-good if there's a guaranteed ratings clause, but that would have to be determined afterward.
I agree that's a definite fail. The team and station are co-owned. Seems like a no-brainer. Is the LHM group trying to get out of the TV business? With the farming out of their master control and now this it seems like it.

Interesting, David James had listed on his blog a 25-30% non-cable viewer rate.
If KJZZ comes up for sale, I'd love to see them return to the original call letters. KXIV. I'd love to see additional sub-network channels as well. I've been enjoying those.

He might be throwing in the people who have cable but would be watching on set #2 or #3 that only has an antenna. I could see the numbers falling that way. Regardless of the actual number, I think it's obvious that it's significant.
The KXIV calls are listed by the FCC as unavailable, but I can't determine who has them.

I see references to 17 in Brownsville, but the FCC has no license for them. Very odd.
