You should be able to hear OK St coverage here:

we'll soon see.

Penn State probably has a stream available for their wrestling radio.

 On Flo:  "Flosports is experiencing technical difficulties, please try later."

Terrible.  I hate FLO.


I am listening to match through Penn State announcers here:

FLO's website is giving "500 gateway error."

Their ROKU service has gone haywire; alternately prompting to buy the event, or giving error messages.   What a garbage service, they obviously oversold the event and can't deliver.  No refund, of course.

Well, at least Penn State radio is colorful.

If there was ever a chance for Track to pounce on Flo, this is it. I've never been a fan of Flo for live events, and this only solidifies my opinion.

From my communications with Track last week, my impression is that they are not interested in hosting video.  Maybe I am wrong, but that's my guess.   They want to be strictly middle men.   For instance, the Cornell-Ohio State dual today was produced and hosted by the IVY League Digitial network.
Track doesn't really sell subscriptions for streaming, they collect money for people who operate the events.

Track is interested mostly in providing their event monitoring tools, their database.  Again, I could be wrong.   But it sounds like a smart idea to me.   

ESPN and Big Ten Network have the horsepower to deliver a quality streaming product.

FLO is stuck in 2010.    They are expanding to other uncovered small sports that will put-up with their lousy product because there is no competition.

I signed up yesterday to watch Edinboro/Iowa (know the assistant ref) and today obviously.  Sent them and email to cancel my account and give me a refund after today's fiasco.

Wrestling Community,

Yesterday's outage was completely unacceptable. I want to personally reach out to you to accept responsibility. We let you down. This was an important event for you and for us. It is hard to put into words how disappointing this was.

Here is what we are doing about it:
The match archives and full match replay are available for free. Watch them here.
If you signed up to watch the dual please email support@flosports.tv to be fully refunded. If you would like to keep your subscription, email support@flosports.tv and indicate you'd like to be credited for two free months. We will respond as quickly as possible.
We are investigating the full cause of the outage and will immediately take the necessary steps to prevent this issue from happening again.
Sorry we let you down. If you would like to reach out to me personally, please email me at MartinFlo@FloSports.tv

Sincerely,

Martin Floreani
CEO & Co-Founder, FloSports
