The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

PrintAnd neither will today's game.
Because Fox (the network) has an exclusive programming window on Saturday afternoons, Saturday afternoon games are only televised if they are picked up by Fox.
Fox didn't pick up this game, so it is blacked out everywhere.

question: DirecTV
I want to get the NFL Sunday Ticket. It’s almost 54 bucks a month for 5 months. Does that include HD games or not?
Josh Hamilton is better than you.
HD on DirecTV
You have to pay an extra $100 to get “SuperFan” in order to receive the games in HD.

Well
at least Nadel and Rojas are still doing the radio broadcast

Sucks to be you...
...I get to see the game today cuz I’m going! Woot!
Pinch me...this team is playing above .500???
how hard is it
really to move the start time back to a night game if it doesn’t get picked up by fox? they must know a while in advance and it’s not like games don’t get changed around anyway as the season goes…
this includes local TV as well
was a ranger game “blacked out” last year too?

I think...
...the A’s folks think that they are going to get a better turnout for a day game than a night game, and that outweighs the TV issue.

err? what's wrong with a 7ET start?
that’s 3PM Oak time, with it still being during the day…
Josh Hamilton is better than you.
my guess
is 3pm local time falls within the fox window.

if it does its silly
since fox doesnt show any games that late in the day.
of course, its all stupid anyway.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
That photo
What really creeps me out is the difference in the four people’s expressions. It’s like they’re in four different delusions, and totally unaware of each other.

Nope.
They black it out there, too.
Selig…meet your assfucking.
Of course, I’m going to the game today, so I’m not affected. Went last night, too.
What do you think?
Do you think there’d be a significantly worse turnout if the game were at night, rather than in the afternoon?
by Adam J. Morris on Jul 26, 2008 12:45 PM CDT up reply actions
it could have been at 12 or 3
seems like 3 would get more people, the late sleepers and also people can go have lunch then go to the game…
Josh Hamilton is better than you.
Probably
Most people are off work on a Saturday, so they can go during the day… at night in that stadium, take a good jacket. Ever notice that during weekday night games the crowd is under 15,000 on a consistent basis? Weekend daytime games are their chance to catch up on attendance figures.
Not at all.
Just got back from the game. Today’s crowd was only 500 more than last night’s (20,600 today to 20,100 last night).
The A’s never play night games on Saturdays or Sundays. They should start thinking of doing so now.
Nope
Because MLB.tv is simply the TV broadcast streamed onto the internet. Since there’s no TV broadcast, there will be no MLB.tv broadcast.
Can someone dig up
L. Harvey Oswald???
He gots one more job to do…

Email it to yourself

I blame the A's
The rule might be stupid but they know the rule and have PLENTY of time to work around it.

OK BOOK MARK THIS PAGE!!!!!
http://www.myp2pforum.eu/mlb-baseball/
Click on todays date a few minutes before first pitch and click on the link of the game of your choice…And please read the forum rules abot posting and asking for links
Would that even work?
No one is even sending a camera crew to the game. I would think I’d have a better chance than most of getting the game since I’m just 3-4 hours south of Oakland, but no… I get the fucking Yankees and Red Sox. You would never know there were 28 other teams except the Yankees and Red Sox have to play other teams besides themselves.
there are teams other than the yankees and redsox!??!

Yep, it'll work
There is also the issue of the Fox blackout any teams that start at 1:05 (or around) can not broadcast on TV due to Fox’s exclusive window. We can still do those games because MLB.tv creates streams using stadium feed cameras and radio comentary.

Whoa...
Sorry about the secong half of that video. Wasn’t aware of the Chappelle stuff after the South Park song. AJM you might want to take out that post due to Dave’s use of the N word.

Good news for me
The “national live blackout” square isn’t next to the link ot the game on mlb.tv, so maybe I’ve got a chance since I live in the Angel’s TV territory.
But
No one is broadcasting it. What feed are you expecting to get if no one is broadcasting the game?
by Adam J. Morris on Jul 26, 2008 3:31 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah,
‘cause I posted that before 2pm…about 6 posts above this one?
=p

i dont think
last night’s A’s game was broadcast here locally in the bay area either. A’s are basically irrelevant out here.
how can I contact the commissioner's office?
as a result of no game, my girlfriend commandeered the tv and turned on So You Think You Can Dance. I am seriously pissed at Fox and Selig.
that deserves compensation for pain, suffering and mental anguish.

Those Republicans loves their monopolies.

No-bid civilian military contracts awarded by this administration and its rubber stamp congress.
FOX broadcasting gets preferential treatment and un-precedented access for carrying the Bush propaganda messages into the living rooms of millions of americans for the past seven years.
Why should crony Bud Selig be any different, you think he is going to help the average baseball fan? Think again. Conservative columnist George Will (pictured in the background) could explain it all to you in “simple terms.”
