Ahap88 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 You mean MLB.tv streaming, I think. I have it in Evansville (Dodgers fan), yes they black out Cardinals and Reds games, home and away. And yes, it pisses me off. Ahawkeye and MUSKEEWRESTLER 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Fort Wayne we are in blackout areas of Cubs, Tigers, White Sox, and Reds That's half the MLB! Plus only crappy cable/streaming services carry Marquee network for Cubs games.

MattM Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 The soon to collapse of Bally Sports which took over the regional FoxSports territories isn’t doing anyone sports viewing any favors either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahap88 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I don't understand the point of blackouts anyway. Their advertisers want to reach as many people as possible, so why deny access to viewers / potential customers? Seems counter productive to me.

Very true, we were hoping that if Bally fell that MLB would stop the black outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume contractual obligations, if MLB had the Cardinals for example I would go that route instead of shelling out cable prices. I'm not going to pay for cable either way so it really doesn't matter for me but I'd bet MLB could put a heck of a dent in Bally's revenue. Same goes for Flo and IHSAA state finals, I won't pay for flo anymore unless they stream the finals live. I'm sure Flo would love to have them but IHSAA already has a contract with a production company. So for now that puts Flo out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachDuke2.0 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I recently switched from xfinity to YouTubeTv and lost bally sports. As a Reds fan, this is a bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bschjoll Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) If you have t-mobile or metro you get mlb.tv for free, but I believe today is the last day to sign up for it. And in the Indy area the white Sox, cubs, reds are the only blackouts. Edited April 3, 2023 by Bschjoll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnatchSingle11 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 What I've done in the past is use a VPN that changes your location. This allows you to circumvent blackouts. This only works on laptops/computers and not mobile devices. Pretty good article that explains the simple process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
