Not sure how the Bally deal works in terms of packages bars normally purchase... But two major ones I know of in Midtown do not have it. Collective and Parlor.
Yeah I was at Bar Cicchetti the other night and they were unable to play it, despite wanting to. I was also at rePUBlic the other day and while almost all of the TVs were showing hoops, it was 100% NBA and I had to request that the bartender put the Thunder game on one very tiny screen among the forest of large ones, despite the fact that two of the giant screens were side-by-side showing the same women's NCAA game. Bartender was clearly annoyed at the Thunder request. The team is so damned fun to watch right now, and the sky is clearly the limit for those who are paying attention. But presently it is far outside of the local cultural zeitgeist.
