Willow Cricket is offering free Roku stick for $40 (4 months susbscription), but they don’t seem to have WC rights.
ESPN Star Sports has exclusive rights for US. Does it mean, they will show WC on regular ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPN3 SD/HD channels on Comcast/AT&T/DN?
Anyone figured out this yet?

Didnt realize Willow will not be showing WC 2015 :(
Re: Who is showing WC cricket 2015 in US and Canada
I’m sure I saw Willow’s name in the WC copyrights list 
Re: Who is showing WC cricket 2015 in US and Canada
If you have cable or dish, ESPN will be showing the matches live.
Re: Who is showing WC cricket 2015 in US and Canada
Per wikipedia, in US, it will be on ESPN3, which is online streaming, free if you are with these ISPs:
You might be able to access it from WatchESPN app. I am not 100%, though.
Re: Who is showing WC cricket 2015 in US and Canada
I don't think they will broadcast WC matches for free for any ISP, they do it only 'series' matches not big tournaments.
Re: Who is showing WC cricket 2015 in US and Canada
^ What about cable or dish ? Will ESPN broadcast it there ?

They will broadcast it (if they bought the rights to it) but it will be a separate package (not on regular cricket/sports channels).

They did it for T20 worldcup. Infact, T20 worldcup semis and final were shown on ESPN 2 TV channel as well
Re: Who is showing WC cricket 2015 in US and Canada
I believe Dish Network has rights for all ICC events in North America ... I might be wrong though.
and I do not believe it will be streamed free even if its on ESPN. It will be on PPV
Re: Who is showing WC cricket 2015 in US and Canada
all matches were shown on ESPN2 (for free)?? 
I am glad I am switching in time to FIOS

This was decided already back in 2011
ESPN buys US rights for 2015 World CupESPNcricinfo staff
March 23, 2011
ESPN has acquired the rights for exclusive live coverage in the US of ICC events, including the 2015 World Cup, and the Champions League Twenty20, for the period 2012 to 2015. The deals, signed with global rights holder ESPN Star Sports, will add more than 1,000 hours of live cricket to ESPN3.com’s line-up.
“It’s a big day for cricket fans in the US, and we’re thrilled to be the network offering this passionate and under-served audience more cricket coverage than ever before,” Damon Phillips, vice president, ESPN3.com, said in a statement. “We’re removing the traditional pay per view barrier and making these world class events available to millions of fans.”
The deals include the rights across television, online and mobile platforms for Champions League Twenty20 matches for three years, as well as the next two World Twenty20 tournaments, the Under-19 and Women’s World Cup and the Champions Trophy, among others.
“The ICC is delighted that ESPN has acquired the rights to ICC events for the period 2012 to 2015,” Manu Sawhney, managing director, ESPN Star Sports said. “The US is a region of real growth and potential for cricket, and for us to have a world-class broadcaster like ESPN as a collaborator in the US is a great boost for our sport. This deal signals a real sea change in the mainstream exposure of cricket to American viewers. Hopefully, this will be a catalyst for huge growth for cricket in this critical market.”
The deal is the first in the US to offer the World Cup at no additional cost to fans who receive their high-speed Internet connection or cable TV video subscription from an affiliated service provider. In 2010, ESPN3.com carried 368 hours of cricket, including Bangladesh’s home games against India and England, matches between New Zealand and Sri Lanka in Florida, the 2010 Asia Cup and the Caribbean Regional Twenty20 Tournament..

hehe..even about the orientation part..lol
Re: Who is showing WC cricket 2015 in US and Canada
If its on ESPN3 then I am covered with Comcast and also on FireTV.
I doubt that it will be on Willow (unless they cut a last minute deal with ESPN). Its not in their fixture and also there is no announcement from Willow in that regards.
