UK has similar BS
> The "3pm blackout" rule prevents football matches from being shown on UK television between 14:45 and 17:15 on Saturdays.
> The policy was introduced in the 1960s to encourage fans to attend lower league games - and it remains in force.
> The blackout comes into effect when 50% of fixtures in the top two divisions are scheduled to kick off at 15:00.
