I live in the middle of NC. Supposedly the Nationals are our local team, yet we can't get the channel on which they play broadcasted on our tvs. In short, I basically get to NEVER see Washington play. I don't have a "local" team that I can watch.

So whenever the Braves play Washington, I'm out of luck. Silly me thought that I might get a chance to check out the mlb channel broadcast tonight.


Bud Selig, I hope you get herpes.

I have the same problem. I bought the mlb tv package but can't see the damn washington games from chapel hill. Annoying as hell

I have no sources, I've just read it on here, but I hear the whole blackout thing ends next season.

It's dumb. But I think it's MASN's fault. They are asking for too much from the cable companies. MLB is stuck until next year when their new tv policy goes into effect. If we have the same problem next year than it's completely MLB's fault for not doing something.

Or use Linux like I do, no more virus or malware issues like on Windows.

Does this mean like the old days when I could watch a game on espn and Turner South at the same time? Or is this just for FOX Saturday? What about TBS Sunday

TBS Sunday I'm not sure about as I have never had blackout issues. The Fox Saturday blackout is completely gone. However, home team blackouts I am not sure about. When the Braves the Nats I am forced to watch MASN, I think this is changing as well. Used to be you only had home team feed on XM and now you have your choice if you have XM internet radio, so I'd say there is a chance.
