Par4QC I checked all of the sub channels and all other available possibilities on DirecTV. Nothing. Ours is owned by Tegna, Inc., which apparently also owns the local ABC affiliate.

There is a station available on DirecTV that carries it, but apparently it must be acquired through an additional package added to what I currently have. Not gonna pay extra to see it. If CW doesn't want me to watch them, I won't.

    johnnydoom from what I've seen you are not missing much, but it sucks you don't have the option to make up your own mind. Seems more like dumb bad luck based on where you "liv"e🙃

    wow picking sides in that feud, it's like choosing between a lifetime of IBD diarrhea vs a colostomy bag

    I guess I have to side with the guy who turned down the known and obvious blood money.

      rsvman2 Would it surprise anybody if Tiger were petty?

      No but I guess DeChambeau has found the find out stage after the fuck about stage.

      well turning down LIV pretty much cut his net worth in half.

      I'd say honestly that's commendable. At that level the wealthier you are the higher return and safer hedged and abitraged investments you can get into. It would have been worth 20-25B by the time he died if he had anything resembling a good manager. At that point his kids and grandkids could pull 100M a year out and it would basically remain flat.

        UnholyDefenestrator78 He never lost a cent turning them down. They just did not have enough money to offer an already billionaire. Anything more than what he makes now is zero net. I'd hate to be that filthy with money. 😅

        And Rory with all his bitching, had no offer at all. It's the cause of tears for him. Then again, he has a 200M contract with Nike he's still working with. If they don't renew this year, he may have a change of heart.

          Par4QC I'd hate to be that filthy with money. 😅

          It would come with difficulty. The trick is having the $ and NOBODY KNOWS.

          or he could do like all the other rich guys and
          set up a pass through S-corp as the payee on the contract and then re-invest it all in their SWF.
          Then sell off the proceeds to various other S-corps

          / not a tax accountant
          // I'm sure people do that all the time whether its legal or not

            UnholyDefenestrator78 But, as I read last night.....the guys that did go, did sign and got huge bonuses will have a very hard time quitting LIV until their contracts are up. It was reported that there is a payback clause of up to 4 times the original bonus amounts, in order to quit/be relieved of service. Not pro-rated for years 'served'. Much like a non-disclosure clause.
            Let me grab my calc......see what 4 x 800M is........nope....not signing that shit!!

              Unless something surprising happens on the upside for LIV, I don't think they will be around by 2026 anyway. If they do keep going with very little of a following, it could get pretty discouraging for the players. I will be shocked if anyone near the ability of Cam Smith joins them this season. Kevin Streelman, okay sure.

                I didn't get an answer from either YouTube TV or the local CW affiliate about why the latter is not on the former. No surprise.

                DonM To me, it's just another Tour. I don't search for nor watch it myself. I used to watch all the European Tour tournaments but never catch them any more either. Nice they could all grab some big loot, and I have nothing against that or them. They do not pay my bills. Plus, some of those guys were getting kinda 'stale' on the PGA, I will except Smith. Liked watching him and he was getting to be the big deal on the PGA. Other than that, mehhh. I like seeing the new guys coming up get a lot of chances to play now. They prove there will never be another TW as they all are winning/taking turns, so to speak. JT, Rory, Rahm, Scottie are never going to win them all. And that is great for golf. Keeps the little kids looking forward when no one is super dominant like TW was. They know they all have a chance to win when they get there.

                Watched it for a little bit, it's pretty easy to find CW with a Firestick VR.
                LIV kind of has the feeling your watching a corporate outing or a celebrity golf event,
                as opposed to watching a bunch of pro golfers in a meaningful competition. IMO
                The way they have the leader board on the left side of the screen can be a little annoying.
                Plus I think they should spend a little more time on each players shot, it seems as soon as the ball is hit from
                the fairway and the ball lands, they immediately jump to another player.....no reaction factor provided! 🤬😱☹😎

                  darpar That's one of the things i like about it! In general, they show a lot more shots. PGA coverage has been gettlng more and more boring as the years go by, mostly because they show fewer and fewer shots.
