August 20, 201213 yr Author QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 04:56 PM) Cubs would of been on 3 times. And we got to watch that Red Sox-Yankees series too
August 21, 201213 yr I noticed the low level of Sox coverage on ESPN and thought maybe I was just a paranoid rookie. Now that I see it brought up here, what is the story with it? Why do other teams, in less prominent positions than ourselves seem to appear more on TV? Or is it just good old paranoia after all?!

Yankees 43,475 Rangers 43,483 Dodgers 41,292 Washington 29,844 Cincinnati 29,477 White Sox 24,485 Their fan bases care the least about the Sox. Why would TV be any different?
August 21, 201213 yr QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 20, 2012 -> 11:56 AM) Cubs would of been on 3 times. The Cubs are also 12,000 per night higher in attendance than the Sox.

This looks startlingly like perspective, to me. How is it actually carved up? Is it purely by demand or is there a minimum amount of games that each team gets to be televised?
August 21, 201213 yr QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 10:25 AM) The game tonight is listed as the back up game on MLB-network You can bet it was selected because it is the Yankees vs. some other team.
