Rangers fans in the New York area who subscribe to Cablevision might not be in the dark for the Oct. 5 season opener after all.
OLN, the NHL's new cable outlet, could make its coverage of the Rangers-Flyers game available to Cablevision customers who are not currently slated to be able to see the game, two executives familiar with the TV plans said last night.
Cablevision carries its games on a digital sports tier and OLN would like to be on a basic tier, as it is in most of the country.
Local blackout rules will keep the game off Madison Square Garden Network when OLN shows a national game.
