Ban Baseball at 8

Confused

Why does this thread even exist?

OP,

You never addressed my question. What is it that you were paying for? Do you have to pay extra to see Smackdown?

Yes you paid extra the superstation!

 

[DodgerKing]

Yes you paid extra the superstation!

Then you are not paying for Smackdown, which they do show anyway, you are paying for WOR and ALL of it programming. You should be happy that Dish even has this option; other providers don't

 

[Derwin0]

Smackdown is still being shown, just a few hours later.

This is no different than when an Orioles game on WNUV bumps Smallville & Supernatural a few times a year. I just watch them later.

 

[Lkr]

Here is a grand idea. Watch the stream online like plenty of people do! Or just wait until 11. or if thats too late, tape it and watch it on saturday afternoon when nothing is on. seriously, if i had WWOR, I'd be more upset to not get the baseball game(then again I do get Smackdown OTA in HD)

I think this thread should end with "Just DVR the event and watch it whenever you want."

Can't do that I want to watch it at 8 PM!!!!!

There are a lot of programs I want to watch at certain times that are also interrupted by live events. Like I said earlier, these live events often bring in revenue that help pay for the shows that I do like. (Read the first line in my sig).

 

[Willh699]

and yes, you can watch SmackDown on Hulu now.

Just out of curiosity, do you pay for other superstations as well? If so, are any of them a MNT syndicate?

Go after him...make him pay for his insolence...


I am curious about what package he's getting....

WWOR is the only Superstation that is MNT.
WPIX, KWGN, and KTLA are CW, and WSBK is Indepedent.

So WWOR is the only option some people have for MNT and Smackdown (which is probably the only worthwhile program on the network, and probably only reason some order it).

Sigh..... ok guys, go to your respective corners.... and then go take your meds...

please keep it civil.

 

[Mr Tony]

and removed the offtopic bs

true. And next season it will be the only program that isnt old reruns

I should not do this, but the OP is about 32 air miles from the WSAZ transmitter in Ona, WV. WSAZ broadcasts the full MY schedule, and not baseball, on 3.2. He is about 75 air miles south of WSYX transmitter in southern Columbus, OH. WSYX broadcasts the full MY schedule, and not baseball, on 6.2. Certainly WSAZ, and probably WSYX are receivable OTA.

75 miles is a stretch for receiving something, curvature of the earth does bad things to RF after 60 miles. 32 miles might be doable even with the mountains in WV, but he might not have an outdoor OTA antenna setup. Especially if he has satellite.

edit: queried the FCC's sites on both stations, neither contours are shown to reach Oak Hill, OH. So he's likely out of luck picking them up OTA.
