If you have Xfinity, watching Pistons' Game 7 is going to be tricky
Sunday's Game 7 between the Pistons and Magic is airing on ABC, but Xfinity doesn't carry the Metro Detroit ABC affiliate, WXYZ Channel 7.
Detroit — The Pistons are about to play their first-ever Game 7 in the city limits of Detroit . And for many fans, the game could prove hard to watch. Sunday's Game 7 between the Pistons and Orlando Magic will be broadcast on ABC.
That creates a problem for many Detroiters and Metro Detroiters. The local ABC affiliate, WXYZ Channel 7, is not carried on cable giant Comcast/Xfinity because of a dispute over carrier fees. The contract between Xfinity and E.
W. Scripps-owned WXYZ expired March 31 , and a deal wasn't reached to renew. Forty Scripps-owned TV stations across the country have gone dark on Xfinity.
If you have Xfinity, there are a couple of other options. You could invest in an old-fashioned antenna, or you could subscribe to the ESPN Unlimited app; all games broadcast on ABC also are aired on the ESPN Unlimited app. Or you listen to the Pistons' radio broadcast, on WWJ 950-AM.
