Masters Online & TV Coverage

[SpacklersEdge]

Are we seriously only getting 3 hours on ESPN for both Friday and Saturday?? The coverage starts at 4 Eastern, that two hours AFTER the last group tee off!!

Am I missing something? Where will I be able to see all of it?

I have DISH network. Is there anything special on one of the other providers like DirecTV?

on line if you go to cbs.com thy have a couple of cameras set up i think on 13 15 and 16 all day live coverage. If you have an iphone the masters app has all the live video i did that today for the par 3 and it worked grate riding the bus back and watch the masters. Other then that i dont know and by thy way espn is doing thursday and friday saterday is on cbs, but i dought thy will be any better with the amount of time there going to be showing golf. In the mean time go to espn classic and watch all the old once.

Apparently you are missing actually reading the TV schedule, which isn't hard to find. ESPN is not covering the Masters on Saturday, try CBS, which has covered the weekend forever. ESPN is covering for 3 1/2 hours on Thursday and Friday.

CBS is scheduled for 3 1/2 hours on Saturday, it is not starting at 4 Eastern, but at 3:30 and that will likely run over, but that is not really much different than in years past. The Masters has always limited its live coverage, I think foolishly, but that's the way it is.

Sorry I meant Thursday and Friday wise-ass. When the British comes around, it's on TNT for 12 hours straight. This is just ridiculous.

I agree that the limited coverage is frustrating. I second the recommendation to watch online or the iphone app (which I used on my ipod touch not iphone). It is great to watch some of the Masters while at work. Lets hope my patients think I am looking up meds ;)

The only problem with that, is that you only get to watch a couple holes. I want to be able to follow the ebb and flow of the day.

Nothing you can do I guess, but in this day and age ESPN should get with the program, they could easily cover more of it on ESPN3 or ESPN4.

Apparently you are grumpy about not being able to watch more of the Masters, that is certainly understandable. However, you work on appropriate responses and I'll try and work on my mind reading skills.

f*ck ESPN and their bougie ass coverage.

Sounds like a plan. After thinking about it more, it's probably the organizers limiting the coverage....money rules everything.

Just checked The Masters app on the iPhone, Amen Corner Live from 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Thursday and Friday... Also coverage of 15 and 16... Finally an iPhone app that I really appreciate

Direct TV has some interactive stuff. One channel with have a mix where you can watch 6 holes at once. Click on one of those and you go to coverage for that hole. Not sure the times that it will be available though.

Watch all day coverage HERE

By the way, you are correct about the start time for ESPN of 4:00 Eastern, heard that today on Mike and Mike, so went back to the Masters official website.

I got the 3:30 start time from the Masters website yesterday, so even though it was easy to find, they had it wrong, although the good news is ESPN does have it scheduled for 3 1/2 hours, at least it's an extra 1/2 hour, but starting at 4:00 p.m., and I see that the Masters shows it on the website today as starting at 4:00 p.m., so sorry if caused any confusion on that. I do feel your pain. I've got Dish also, and although I don't think Direct TV shows live coverage outside of the time frames anyone else shows it, it does have additional coverage of certain holes at the same time, if that makes sense. I love satellite, but if I had known last year when I got Dish, Direct TV was going to have the Masters package, I would have gone that route. Too late now.

12 hours straight on the british open! They dont even have that much coverage in the 4 days combined in the Masters!

[bsnone]

I don't know why this is such a shock to everyone, it has been minimal coverage compared to just about every other tour event for years. At least you can watch live from Amen corner online...

Too bad the masters's official site doesn't think it's important enough for us Canadians to watch...

''The service is not available in your area'' ...Great!

That sucks. It's really a shame, I have it running off to the side, so far it's pretty good coverage. Is just the video blocked, or the entire site?
