MLBtv Blackout Question

by Baseball North on Mar 30, 2008 4:55 PM CDT Comment 5 comments

I live in Toronto and am thinking about getting MLBtv.

I will be in the Blue Jays region and I wanna be able to watch the Rangers and Blue Jays games as much as possible.

What kind of blackout rules apply? Will I not get Rangers games or not get Jays games?

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Not sure if this will help, but...

...I live 20 minutes from Angels Stadium, and I've had MLB.tv for the past four seasons. Aside from national blackouts (like the ESPN Sunday game or the FOX Saturday game), the only Rangers games I didn't get on MLB.tv were the ones when they played the Angels, but I could get those on the local channels, albeit with Angels announcers, etc.

I would assume you'd be in the same boat for the Rangers games. As for the Blue Jays games, the home games will probably be blacked out on MLB.tv. Not too sure about road games for them...

You will not get Blue Jays games

All games?

If a Jays game is not on a local station, will that game be blacked out as well? I heard that about 15-20 games will either be on satellite or not on tv all.

Does the MLB package on satellite work the same way in terms of blackouts?
