TheScore.ca is where is streams live(5pmpacific//8pmeastern). Unlike last season, they apparently think fake 80's wrestling is better in the time slot than actual live sports. :|

Actually,
has to do with
the time slot programming they already had in place when the Score signed on with Bellator FC. prior to "
Bellator changing their programming schedules"

I can underline things too.

Ahh, but if you read just the underline as a sentence it makes sense as well. Truth though, the Score would have to adjust all their programming now that Bellator has. So it's not as simple as them thinking 80s wrestling is the better choice, which is why they offer it on-line. I believe the Score's programming will change to reflect the better choice in the future.
According to them anyways

My issue is that theScore
finally
gets some consistent live sports, and 4 months later f*cks it up. Everytime they get any contracts for basketball, mma, or anything it last a few months and goes back to Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
The whole reason i became a Bellator nuthugger was because theScore had it on consistently for 6 months. Even though it went up against the UFC on a lot of nights, it was still free MMA. Having it on friday night, sunday night or any other night shouldn't change the scores lineup so much as most of what it has on is replay material.
all this does for the score is lost them a fan base that it just took half a year to get.

Hell, I only just started watching the Score because they made the deal with Bellator, that and I would always try to watch the MMAShow once a week. Other than that I wouldn't know much about any of the Score programming. Even trying to follow the fighting series was always kinda random.
Oh, and the WEC back in the day.
Right now, I don't mind Bellator being streamed live on Fridays, cause the stream is high quality, and I can watch TUF Live when Sportsnet airs it Sunday.
So essentially they've lost two fans, but one prefers it, and the other is sol.

I know for this week, but this s**t totally f**ked up Bellator 60 for me

And it was Pat Curran vs. Joe Warren.
I could see them streaming the lesser cards, but when you have the marquee promotional fighters fighting for titles...

That's why i get pissy, i remember going through this with the WEC(and it was also on TSN2 on the east coast) and that to me, helped kill the ratings for the WEC. That was the best MMA at the time and it was a b*tch to find. i can find bellator, but when i'm telling all my buddies that it's on friday night and they can't find it on tv... it just kills momentum. :x
rant over.
this isn't the Scores fault like someone said you cant just up and change a program who you already have a contract with for that time slot just isn't gonna happen, Bellator knew this when they made the move blame them. they could have choose sunday night instead. but isnt Bellator still on Saturday nights? I'm looking at my TV schedule here in Ontario and it has Bellator on saturday. Smackdown isn't even live they tape the show on Tuesdays and air them on Friday's so once that contract runs out I could see them switching it nights so they can accomodate both.
