KTVI is the local Fox network affiliate, and as such carried the Seattle-Dallas first-round playoff game last Saturday night. This weekend it has two high-profile matchups, Dallas-Los Angeles Rams (7:15 p.m. Saturday) and Philadelphia-New Orleans (3:40 p.m. Sunday). Unless there is significant movement, Spectrum isn’t expected to carry them.
Normally about 4,000-5,000 customers would be expected to access it, the source said, and this time it was 25,000-30,000. Because a subscription to a service that carries Fox Sports is supposed to be needed to connect to the digital feed, and Spectrum has been locked out, this evidently means there were a lot of people borrowing passwords from friends or relatives who have another service.
