Most Yankees games are available from the YES Network, but several times each month they switch to a New York OTA channel, My9. The announcers, and pretty much everything else, are from YES.
Until this season, the EXTRA INNINGS package included the My9 programming when it replaced YES. Today marks the first game on My9 and the EXTRA INNINGS package isn't carrying it. True, the opponent's broadcast on MASM *is* available, but Yankees fans don't want to have to endure the opponent's announcers and cut-aways.
DirecTV's advertising for EXTRA INNINGS touts its cheaper cost this season. It also seems to be less valuable.
