ND/Wake Forest Game Blacked out on 209

[JUCJ85]

The game is suppose to be a 8PM est ABC or ESPN game. Why would I be blacked out?

Its not on the alternate channels, they have K-State/Ok State on 211 and 211-1

Is this a mix up, or is ESPN forcing a blackout?

 

[Mr Tony]

sounds like its on your ABC station

 

[JUCJ85]

Thats very odd Ice, ABC in on commercial, said OKST/K-STATE even had those announcers on like 5 mins ago.

I have it on ESPN2 (209) in CT

I feel your pain ... Rangers games recently blacked out for me on MSG ... can't get straight answer as to why :-(

MSG only shows 50 Rangers games in the outer ring,

MSG only shows 50 Rangers games in the outer ring,

So, its a crap shoot when I turn to a game or can I know which 50?

Thanks ... simply ridiculous ... again I get all the Mets games, so you would assume no problem with Rangers ... :-( :-(

Thanks ... I understand it, but then again don't (lol). Tonights game was on MSG and NHLNetwork, but both blacked it out ... oh well at least I have power after a week

Additional q: Am I to assume MSG+ will always be blacked out/unavailable to me?

this is crazy question are you the same guy that called into WFAN and ask Gary Bettman this question?

games on NHL Network that involve "claimed" teams will be blacked out every time...even if its a rerun (seen that happen). They want you to watch it on your local RSN....but if they black it out then you're screwed doubly

Folks who are in the Blackhawks market but outside WGN9 area have the same issue

So I checked with my dad over the weekend and he said he had it on ESPN 2, he has cable, so I am wondering if it was a mix up somehow.

 

[Mr Tony]

cable is allowed to "cut in" the correct game as they are done locally.
satellite does not have that ability

Its like when the MN Goofers are on a Big10 alternate channel (when more than one game is being televised at same time). Cable here gets it on 27 (the mian BTN) while Directv subs watch it on say 611 (alt channel)
