NESN Are Bruins fans tuning out Jack Edwards when NBC is available?

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

If I did, would watching the Celtics 7:00 start at 10:00 p.m. still register?

They'd still track it but it wouldn't be reported in live ratings. You'll often see live+ ratings reported for shows. The plus is some measure of dvr or on-demand views.

The end of the day they will all say something I don’t like at times.

Either way as long as I get to watch is a privilege

 

[MAINE-IAC]

Wouldn't touch NBC with a ten foot pole. Too pro Toronto and excitement for other teams. Feed me Jack.

10-4

I would prefer NESN, but I’m out of market, so it’s NBC. It sucks that my feed is substantially behind y’all’s, so I have to stay out of the GDT.

Hope we’ll get Alberts again tomorrow. Doc annoys me.

You should be able to watch on NESNgo

@Fenway said that if NBCSN was carrying the game then NESN could broadcast it too but if NBC was carrying it they could not. AFAIK NESN will carry tomorrow night's game but might not carry Sunday's.

Thanks. Does this mean J&B are still calling games?

 

[ap3lovr]

I prefer NBC. It isn't just a question of Jack vs Doc, it is more a full package. Nesn feels like a discount version of the NBC broadcast. TSN used to have the best broadcast though, I would always take it over NESN if given the opportunity.

Yes they are

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

NBC any day over Jack.

This

 

[TD Charlie]

I actually watched on NBC last night because NESN had it listed as Bruins in 2. To play it safe I recorded both channels but checked NBC first, and it worked.

I didn't know NESN actually had the game until just now.

 

[GarbageGoal]

NBC.

 

[Demon Eyes]

when given the choice. i watch nesn. without the cord. i take what i can find

Nope. I don’t subscribe to one of their video providers. I can watch them during the season via NHL.TV.

 

[bobbyorr04]

If I had the choice (which I don't always have) every Bruin game would be called by...

Jack

 

[talkinaway]

Here’s a devil’s advocate against NBC: I don’t like the intermission look ins. I literally clear out my DVR, record all playoff games, and I can watch complete games into the summer, or on Bruins off days. (Yeah, they’re spoiled, but it’s the only way to get summer hockey.) I don’t really need to look in if I’m going to watch the game later. I’d much rather listen to Dale et al in the NESN studio.

Also, NBC has those annoying mini ads during puck drops. IMO, that’s almost worse than the ticker - I can train my eyes not to look at the ticker. But when the volume goes way up, and they start yelling about $1 tacos, it’s tough to ignore. (Speaking of which, some of the NBC games havre really screwed up those ads. We notice.). I’d much rather have Jack Edwards briefly and awkwardly touting Cardi B’s next concert at Foxwoods - it’s more seamless.

 

[PB37]

Jack and Brick. Nothing else comes close to my ears. I love their calls and I really enjoy the intermission stuff with Jaffe and Pederson. The presentation of NBCSN is nice but I can't stand their play by play guys.

 

[TwineTickler]

For the poll I picked NBCSN only because that's my only option... otherwise it would be NESN

 

[Memokerobi]

Doc Emrick FTW!

 

[Yeti34]

Wish they kept Goucher and made him the play by play. I don’t really mind Jack. The production on Nesn audio and especially video is awful. The ticker on the bottom of the screen is a waste of space.

 

[Gordoff]

NBC.

I didn't know that it was on NESN until someone mentioned Jack. At that point I was elated and switched over to J&B! I hate the national broadcasts.

 

[GordonHowe]

That is correct

With Jack & Brick announcing? That's what I want to know.

 

[GordonHowe]

Yes they are

Thank you.

 

[The Hajj]

I do not like Jack’s recent calls where he seems to go overboard in his “non-bias” behavior, where he heaps praise on the opposing team or players. As a Bruins fan, I don’t want to hear how great an opposing player is doing or how that player is from some obscure place. I miss the days of Fred and John. They barely let you know when the other team scored, and certainly never praised the opposition. Derek would openly rag on the other team’s players and I really enjoyed his rants. Those were the good old days for me.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

NESN for Jaffe and Pederson

 

[trenton1]

I go with NESN because despite the better tech on NBC, there will be plenty of NBC into June. Also, Doc makes too many mistakes.
I also prefer Brickley and Jaffe. Jaffe is excellent and I'm surprised and pleased that he has stayed with NESN.

 

[Smitty93]

I generally will watch on NESN, but NBC does have the better picture/production. I think Emrick is better than Edwards, though Doc has slipped in recent years, but it probably comes down to the fact that I like Brickley more than Millbury. There's also something to watching the local broadcast point of view versus the national.
