September 15, 200520 yr A couple of months ago I began a thread asking what MLB was going to do if this Saturday's game was going to be a clincher because there is no TV. Looking back, I wish my biggest issue with this team is worrying how I would get the see the clinching game. Now I am just praying we do. So for all the wondering, speculating and worrying about Saturday's game not being televised, I apologize. And since Ozzie does not want to disrespect El Duque and he will be starting Saturday, I may be happier not watching.
September 15, 200520 yr What happened to the Fox broadcast? I sawa a snippet before the news last night that they aren't going to be able to televise the game for some reason.
September 15, 200520 yr The game won't be on TV on Saturday??? What, 6 channels for it to possibly be on isn't enough? How does that happen??? CSN CSN+ WGN WCIU WCIU affiliate channel 23 FOX Edited September 15, 200520 yr by Kid Gleason

I sawa a snippet before the news last night that they aren't going to be able to televise the game for some reason. Ok...I didn't read up on this but I think this is the situation... Fox owns the rights to broadcast all Saturday Morning MLB games. They paid a large sum of money to obtain exclusive rights to these games... The Twins scheduled the game on the 17th to start at 11:10 in order to be able to pull the metrodome doubleheader, Twins in the morning, Gopher football at night. The problem is the game starts at 11:10 and not 12:20 as Fox always has it's games begin. So...they are not going to pickup the game and have already tagged the Cubs-Cards game as their midwest regional game. So that leaves this game without a home... I did hear that WGN or Comcast is trying to get a waiver from MLB/Fox so they can air the game on tv...we shall see
