Pleaee do not get me started on BO rules...I live in the Charlotte DMA.. Acording to the geniuses at MLB HQ in NYC I live in the markets for the Reds,Braves,Nationals and Orioles.....3 NL teams and one AL team claim Charlotte as THEIR market..Therefore games involving those teams are BO'ed on the MLB EI package...Ridiculous seeing that none of those teams,save Atlanta, broadcasts locally into Charlotte..And if MLB is concerned that me avoiding the drive to DC becuse the game is on tv, they needn't worry. I wasn't going to make the trip anyway.
This is why I can't stand unelected govt oficials being able to make policy decisions...The FCC had this stuff on their table last year..They could have made the black out and local channel rules much more fair. Instead the FCC did NOTHING!...We are still stuck with 1950's tv rules.....
