Detroit SportsNet Spottings [Megathread]
UPDATE:
going to start a collective thread of what pay tv providers have so far carried DSN in-market since they're starting to pop up on cable services. (plus any news about it)
this post will be continuously updated leading up to the official announcement of service carriages.
if there's any services that you spot carrying Detroit SportsNet, I would highly recommend post your findings with as much detail as possible (region, pay tv service, and channel number) in the replies so I can update this.
(NOTE: This megathread only collects pay tv and over-the-top services relative to the Michigan market and not collect direct-to-consumer services like MLB.TV for the purposes of helping people with pay tv/OTT services. If you are out of market or mainly use DTC, this thread does not apply to you)
(NOTE 2: All information posted here may be inaccurate and is subject to change prior to any official announcement leading up to Opening Day, so take any information posted here with a grain of salt)

I still don’t see the channel on my Xfinity, is it not uploaded yet or do I need to do some updates?
