mlb.tv question

[tdeggie]

I recently moved to Peoria, IL from Oshkosh (new job). So I am planning to buy the mlb.tv package (which I just saw is available) to watch the Brewer games since I won't have FSN WI. I know that I am out of the blackout restriction so I will be able to watch the games live, but my question is the Cubs, Cardinals, and White Sox are 'in my area.' Does that mean when the Brewers play the Cardinals and Cubs that I won't be able to watch the games live? Any help on this question would be great.

 

Thanks in advance,

tdeggie

Most likely. I know that there are ways around it, but according to MLB rules yes, your game will be blacked out.

Yes, those games will be blacked out. As will national broadcasts, ie the 4 games we are on FOX.

Are you planning on getting cable? Do you know which regional sports network would come with the cable package? Because if they include Comcast Sports Chicago you wouldn't have to worry about missing any Brewers-Cubs games. Cardinals would still be a problem though. You would think that Peoria's cable would feature a sports net that broadcast the games of one of those teams.

i just called the cable company and they provide both comcast sports chicago and FSN midwest which covers the cardinal games. so i won't have to worry about those games. thanks everyone
