akronzips71 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Are they kidding? First MAC game at home and no ISP video?This is insane. Akron will always be second rate bush league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valpo Zip Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Apparently, Tom feels that seeing his face on you tube is more important than seeing the game. The best part remains that i am paying for the damn service. This is getting old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 The Ohio-Can't game was broadcast for free.The biggest problem that ZipsZone has is that it is a subscription-based service. That will never work for a team like Akron. Every basketball and football home game needs to be broadcast for free. Is there a fear that you will lose some attendance if people can instead watch the game on a 3-inch feed on a computer? There is no reason to charge for it. I think you'll gain a bigger audience by broadcasting it for free. It just makes sense to be free unless you have a big enough fan base to turn it into a real revenue source with a more professional production value, and Akron doesn't.

They don't broadcast the videoI know. I just think it's ridiculous for people to pay for that. It's more understandable if it was free i.e. "you get what you pay for".I would call the athletic office and ask them to cancel your subscription. If they get enough calls like that, they might do something about it. Complaining about it on an internet message board doesn't get anything done.

akronzips71 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 i will not renew for something i can get free now.it's a bunch of bs.Got a phone number for the athletic office?When I email whoever runs the ISP thing, they simply ignore it and never answer.At some point a box popped up to "view the second half", by the time I saw that it was over.Methinks they "forgot" to stream the video.Assholes.

Deeustin89 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 i joined zipszone last year, only to cancel when there wasn't a single video feed the whole year. as a matter of fact i couldn't name one thing that i got for my ten bucks a month. it was a joke. i sent several emails asking what was going on and if there would ever be video but NEVER EVER got a response.
