I wanted to watch Major League Cricket but they didn't seem interested in promoting it or showing it to anyone that isn't currently

Posted by Krusty (aka Krustylu) Jul 30 '23, 05:29

following cricket leagues elsewhere.

I have no idea where the games are/were airing, I've seen no advertising online or billboards or TV spots. Nothing.

Responses:

seems this year's version was a little rushed. might be better next year. it's on generic sports channels here, but also the same time as the Ashes - mafic Jul 30, 05:55 1
- No local games, no local coverage and no local team names. This won't catch on without adjustments in the future. -- nm - Krusty Jul 30, 07:20
Something called Willow TV and CBS Sports Network. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 05:40 2
- next Saturday AM on CBC (T20 Canada) -- (pic) - mud Jul 30, 06:36 [Attachment]
- I wish they would have done some real advertising and make sure people knew where and when to watch. - Krusty Jul 30, 05:47
Correct. I didn’t think it started yet. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Jul 30, 05:32 6
- I just actively tried to find when and where I could try to watch it. No luck. - Volnelk 🍊 Jul 30, 05:38 5
  - *smh* It will fail if they don't bring in new fans. -- nm - Krusty Jul 30, 05:48 4
    - has a *lot* of money behind it, and really they're dong it mostly for the Indian audience, at least this year. - mafic Jul 30, 06:03 3
      - Yeah, it seems it's only about the Indian audience especially considering the name of the NY team is MI New York. - Krusty Jul 30, 07:19 2
        
        It’s a brand, they have them in Dubai and South Africa as well as the original Mumbai team. The announcers call it “my New York” or sometimes “M.I.” -- nm - mafic Jul 30, 07:29 1
        
        I get that but it doesn't feel right or work as a team name outside of India, imo. Maybe just NY Indians. -- nm - Krusty Jul 30, 07:43
