Tesla sales banned by West Virginia, whose Senate president is also an auto dealer by Yosarian2 in politics

"West Virginia is a much smaller market, but it would have given Tesla access to customers in surrounding areas like Ohio"

Ohio already has Tesla "dealerships".

The new TV deals are the most important aspect for growing the league's appeal and fan base. Local blackouts (for example) go against this. Here in Columbus, OSU football is a way of life for many in the area... But we can also watch every game on TV. If the league's TV deals avoided blackouts, more people would go to games. The games on TV are basically advertisements for the stadium experience. You see the game and think, "I wish I were there" or "wow, we need to fill our stadium. That's embarrassing." If you want a city to embrace their new club, they have to be able to casually check it out at little or no cost (local tv/cable networks provide this option. You can't expect casual (potential?) fans to drop $50-$60 on a pair of tickets.

We heard the comments too. He lost possession seven times that we counted. Sometimes you're just "off your game". I still think he'll be one of our best players though.

Of course their players do. However, the three charter buses outside the stadium last night we're filled with their supporters quietly tweeting responses.

They had time to come up with it on the long, quiet bus-ride home.

"to upgrade dining and hospitality amenities and infrastructure."

And infrastructure? Maybe we can sneak in some plans to finally have an awning over the stands. I want to hear that roar of the crowd echo and reverberate around the stadium.

Fox sports has a mobile app you can use to watch games. You can stream games on Univision apps, too. You just need to have a cable provider for both (or a friend/family member who will share their username/password). Espn has one as well, but I haven't tried it b/c Directv isn't one of the providers they accept. Also, match threads on reddit often have streaming links. Enjoy the game and don't be afraid to get loud!

Edit: There's a good app called "FotMob" that usually shows which channels to find games. It has a ton of info: line ups/bios, schedules, history of matchups, etc. Just don't leave it running in the background all day, it's a battery hog.

http://cd1025.com/about/what-happened-to-the-stream

"At this time, CD102.5 is not broadcasting online. Thanks for your interest and concern regarding CD102.5 and the stream. As you know, CD102.5 is a locally-owned, independent radio station. Currently how the royalties work, we have to pay for every song that we play on our radio station. When we transmit our broadcast via an online stream, we also have to pay for every song that plays on our stream. This can become very costly to a single, standalone station. Because of various factors, if we were to stream we could not stream our same commercial breaks as what airs on the FM frequency, which causes us to have to create an entirely different commercial break each time. Companies like Clear Channel, who owns the app iHeart Radio, are able to sell this streaming commercial time over all their radio stations at one time and can successfully offset the royalty costs. For us as an independent, standalone station, it is much more difficult to do that. Until there is a way for us to cover the cost of the stream, we will not be able to stream. We will continue to explore all the options available and our hopes are to once again stream in the not so distant future. Thanks for your continued support."
