I'm the opposite. I tried my best to watch as many road games as possible. I would even minimize the video and listen along while driving if I was out doing errands. But obviously with less interest or importance than actually going to Spruce Meadows. If I missed it, I missed it.
That being said, if the coverage got chopped a fair bit, and we got a selection of matches on a big network/service and little else, I think that would be a net gain for the league. But I do think it would make it harder to engage with the club/league for a lot of supporters, which isn't great. Even match highlights need someone to operate a camera or two, someone to edit it, etc. though that is still quite different than producing a whole live broadcast.
Maybe I'm setting the bar too low, but at this point I'll accept the survival of the league even if it means that I can't watch away matches.
