Yankees-Mets Blacked Out in Baltimore?

[ccmdguy]

I'm in Baltimore RSN. Can someone explain why Yankees-Mets on MLBN is blacked out? I know..probably a stupid question.

I'm not sure, but MLB Network is showing Philly-Boston in the DC market.

 

[ccmdguy]

Yeah..just realized Phillies-Red Sox are on MLBNA. Strange. Phillies are ALWAYS blacked out here even though Comcast Philly isn't on Dish.

Do you have any of the superstations? WPIX on 234 is showing the Yankees-Mets game

 

[ccmdguy]

Nope....

Dish Gamefinder is showing an Orioles game at 7 on MASN but the game was earlier today.

Because you have dish Network, and you don't live in NY DMA.

How about making sense next time?

No, the OP is correct in his thinking. He's not in the DMA, so one would think he would be getting it. Because the Nationals were playing in their park, the Mets may have been blacked out in your area, leaving Philly and Boston.

It makes total sense . Of course he is going to get the philly game, He's not in the NY DMA. And last I checked there is no MLB EI on Dish
And Since he can't View YES network or SNY well that's out too.

I live in Massachusetts and I got the game. Not sure why. The Red Sox were at home against the Phillies.

On NESN or MLBN??

 

[ccmdguy]

OK...not sure I understand that...but I had not checked MLBN Alternate channel before I posted the original message. Perhaps I didn't get Yankees-Mets (I have gotten NY games before on MLBN) because MLBN was showing Phillies-RedSox on the alternate channel. Not sure why, though. Nationals game was over earlier in the day. Just when I think I understand the blackout rules...this kind of thing happens. And it's kinda moot now.

MLB Network regional games are goofy as there is no rhyme or reason as to which area gets which game.

I've seen plenty of the "main games" when the backup one has a team from the AL Central

NO it doesn't. MLB Net does regionalized games but there is no "rule" as to which area gets what game. The only rule is the NY market would get the other game because if your team is on MLB Net you get the other game (or other programming)

You got that right. Philly-Washington was blacked out in North Texas last Friday night.

I live in NC and I was blacked out as well.
Interesting to note, I do reside in the markets of the Nats, Orioles, Braves and Reds.

NY is not in the Baltimore area. That's why they got Philly!

Incorrect. MLBN games are blacked out ONLY in the territories of the participating clubs.

Holy crap...MLBN games are televised nationally the same as those on FOX or ESPN.
Once again, and please get this straight....Non exclusive games are blacked ONLY in the territories of the participating clubs.
MLBN is NOT an RSN....

Same here.
