Are Root Games avail on web?

Root sports Rocky Mountain I can find on the Web (have to use a VPN to be out of area). Root sports northwest seems to have no streaming options I can find
 
Big Sky games that are on root are shown live nationwide on a channel called "Audience" that is available on DirecTV. Before you quit reading, and post something about contracts or satellite dishes, you can watch it for free by signing up for DirecTV Now, it's available on any of their packages. They always have a one week free going but you can find 1 month free offers as well, I believe the current one is code: RULESFREE9 That free month will get you through the rest of the season. If that code is expired and you can't find another one, they start at $35 / month with no contract. I have not had any programming conflicts with Griz games, even when people say their Root channel changed to a different game midway through the third, Audience has shown the entire game.

Thanks for this info, Mischief. I got on to the forum today to post this very thing.

Both DirecTVNow and Root are owned by AT&T so there is a Big Sky conference game each Saturday and it has been my experience that if the game is on Root in Missoula, the Griz game is on Audience. The other games not covered by Root Sports are typically on Pluto TV. Even the Griz-Cat game will be on Audience this year.

As a guy that lived in Missoula for many years before moving here (Hilton Head Island, SC) in 2006, I’ve tried many ways to stream game. In the beginning, I used a SlingBox and many variations since. This year, I think I’ll see the most streamed games ever (it helps that I got rid of cable and now subscribe to DirecTV Now for all of my TV programming). Picture quality is near perfect.

So, use the trial period or consider a DirecTV Now subscription. I’m saving about $100/month by dumping cable TV programming.

Hope this helps anybody out there.

Signed up but don’t see the audience channel [emoji15]

I have the basic package on Directv NOW the have the channel lineup in alphabetical order. It is like the 4th channel down from the top.

Got it - Thanks, was still blinded by the mental image of a QB getting ejected for targeting
 
Are replays available of big sky games that are not broadcast on root? Used to be eversport, right? Didn't see them on there this year unless I am missing something.
