Does Direct TV give Rochester area customers access to all of the Sabres,Islanders,Rangers and Devils or is it just during this free two week period of free Center Ice? I thought Rochester was in the Sabres territory and only the Sabres were shown here? I also heard that the Sabres are shown in all of upstate NY but not in the NYC area. Also the Rangers, Islanders and Devils could be shown in upstate NY outside of the Buffalo and Rochester area but only a certain number of times each season.
BLTs,
No, DirecTV pays the local rights fees for all games on MSG, MSG+, SNY, and YES, so if any of those channels have a PRO sports game on it is available for all NY state subscribers. This means any DirecTV sub in the Rochester, and Buffalo regions will get all Rangers, Sabres, Islanders, and Devils games.
