WWOR Blackout??

[Randall DBS]

I was tuning to WWOR to watch Smackdown and noticed that it was blacked out and had some spanish words in the guide. What gives?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

New York Yankees Game in Spanish.

 

[jmccurrytech]

Wow, that's a new one for me!

 

[ramonv]

WWOR is airing FOX SPORTS en Español in SD.

 

[Randall DBS]

Well geez what if I wanted to watch it in spanish lol.

 

[mistercoke]

[Randall DBS]

A MyTv out of the New York market lol.

 

[mistercoke]

There was no point that I could see blacking it out just because it was in spanish. Big deal.

They weren't blacking it out because it was in spanish. It was blacked out because the national cable broadcasting rights belong to Fox Sports en Español. WWOR was rebroadcasting the FSE feed. This channel is part of the Dish Latino package and is available to $13 when added to a "classic" pack.

Anyone with NYC locals would be able to see WWOR. Anyone with WWOR as a super station was blacked out.

I just wonder how come Fox just didn't use the SAP on the main channel?

Because that would be too obvious

Interestingly enough, WWOR is right this moment in the clear for Game 2.

Of course, it's past 1 AM in New York and the game is over 5 hours long (Bottom 13 as I write this).

Oh, the Yanks just won. CUE FRANK!

Usually they black out the games for like 3hrs-3 hrs 15 mins. After that time frame the blackout is lifted, figuring the game is over.

 

[Mr Tony]

they black it out for whatever timeframe is in the guide. On the RSN's they give 3 hours usually for the blackout

 

[Joe Capitano]

Oh, I was aware of that, gang.
