If MLB.tv didn't block out Giants games in the Bay Area, I would have already cancelled my cable tv. I think on the tipping point, I can eventually imagine the MLB lifting blackout restrictions.
- mayneack 11y agocan you not get them with an antenna?
- gnoway 11y agoTypically a blackout affects all the local channels unless the game is sold out some time prior to game start. They really want you to buy a ticket (and concessions, and memorabilia, and parking, and...)
- ssalazar 11y agoUnlike the NFL, MLB doesn't have attendance-based blackout.
- diogenescynic 11y agoI'm not sure how it works, but the Giants contract is with Comcast SportsNet and 99% of the games are on their channel which is cable only.
- jghn 11y agoPerhaps not. The Red Sox are (almost) not OTA for instance
- ssalazar 11y agoNowadays, in the Bay Area, day-to-day baseball games are broadcast on cable-only channels.
