Which teams you get varies by location.

This should tell you what teams you should get in your area on your RSN ...

For the record, DMAs have nothing to do with RSN territories, but parts of PA are in MSG's territory. He SHOULD get Rangers (probably not Devils, but maybe, definitely replays).

Yes has a different broadcast footprint from MSG.

Yes has a different broadcast footprint from MSG.

That depends upon who is playing, not necessarily the channel broadcasting the game.

Yes holds the rights to the Nets broadcasts. MSG the Knicks. Unless the games are national on TNT or ESPN.

I doubt they ever get changed. The teams have home markets and they won't give them up.

Really ?

You have to have SOMEWHERE to start .
I would not expect to get Fox Sports Detroit in Texas, why, the DMA is in Michigan, not Texas.

RSN's are not entirely about the DMA, as they are designated by the Teams, but most make sense.

You can do something about it if your not getting a team you should be, it takes work, but it can be done.

When I signed up, I was suppose to get FSD, STO and another, can't remember exactly, its been quite awhile.
Anyways, my friends in Toledo got FSD, I'm in the next city over (its attached, 5 minutes away, but different zip code)

I contacted FSD and explained the issue, that sent me to the correct person at FSD, who understood and called California with me and we discussed the fact that my zip code had been omitted form the list of available areas.

Within 4-7 days, FSD was available for me and everyone else in NW Ohio that should get it and were not.
