TV Answer Man, I see that the Los Angeles Clippers are starting a channel for cord cutters. Do you know the details like cost and how to watch it? — Dan, West Hollywood, California.
Dan, the Los Angeles Clippers yesterday announced that it will stream 74 regular season games during the 2022-23 NBA season on the NBA’s official league app for $199.99. Called ClipperVision, the service will not require a subscription to a cable or satellite operator or a live streamer such as DIRECTV Stream.
(DIRECTV Stream is the only multi-channel live streaming service that carries Bally Sports SoCal, which has the Clippers games. ClipperVision and Bally Sports SoCal are only available in the Los Angeles Clippers market.)
The Clippers are also available via cable and satellite on the Bally Sports SoCal regional sports network, and the new Bally Sports Plus service, which does not require a cable or satellite sub. But ClipperVision will include six different streams including one with the actual game, one with live commentary from former players and Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, and ones with Korean and Spanish play-by-play and analysis.
