Topic: Lost CSS

[MUPE84]

I was scanning through the channels on my tv and noticed that CSS was no longer available. (blank screen).  I have Comcast cable.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I need CSS for some of our games this fall.

CSS no longer exists.

Thank God!!! Now maybe if a game isn't picked up on Fox or CBS a local station can get the rights. CSS was a joke for the most part. A few of there people actually did a good job, but too often there play by play guys weren't prepared, the picture quality was poor, and there were to many technical difficulties.

I am also glad; it always disturbed me that they would not partner with DirecTV or Dish. That was probably one reason they ultimately failed.

Thanks.  I didn't realize they were going off the air.

CSS was Comcast Sports South. It was a cable entity carried on Comcast systems contiguous to Georgia. That's why it was never on the dish. With the formation of the SEC network, (and all of the content moving there) and Possibly the ACC network, Comcast decided to cease operations because they felt they no longer had enough viable programming to make a profit.

I wouldn't say poor picture quality. I thought it was some of the best actually, unless you just didn't have the hd channel.

We had games on CSS for 9 years I do believe and if I recall they didn't start doing games in HD until 2012. I may be wrong on the year, but that is what I meant by that.
