Cable Blackouts

I was able to get a list of the games in an email from Mediacom that they plan to blackout this year. I noticed Comcast blackout the Brewer series too, so maybe this is their list too. I haven't noticed if it has been posted before, so feel free to delete if it has.

Thanks for posting this

It came as a surprise when they started blacking games out last year. A very annoying surprise.

Thanks as well

Did your email say why certain games are blacked out?

When I called them, the person that answered blamed the FSN and major league baseball. That didn’t make any sense to me since the games were on FSN-HD and there didn’t seem to be any reason why the game wasn’t on.

surcharge

” These are all surcharge games”. Or so they say. I just guess those days I will have to go to a watering hole.

Thank you

I went semi-nuts last year trying to figure out the blackout games. It annoys me to no end when the game is listed and I turn it on only to find one of those idiot shows about the best double plays of all time or some such inanity.

So this is awesome. Thank you.
