Thanks with the Sox being on 927 different channels through out the year this will make it a lot easier to follow, I mean geeez do other teams have this crazy of an issue with stations?

WGN FOX ESPN WCIU CSN CSN + and Some times CSN ++

I really wish they would do away with WCIU. I pay $100/month for satellite and $125/year for MLB.tv and still don't get all the Sox games even though I am in their "territory". Really pisses me off.

Almost every Sox game on Fox here in So. IL is replaced by any National League game. Not just the Cub or Cardinal games you'd expect. Which the last couple of years has meant no Saturday baseball.

If you are inside the Sox "territory" you can't get any of their games on mlb.tv (or MLB Extra Innings)

Can't wait for the season to start this weekend..

I realize that. I've gotten MLB EI or MLB.tv various years to watch my favorite players not on the Sox (Frank, Buehrle, Rasmus, etc..). What I'm saying is that its ridiculous that there is no possible way for me to watch games on WCIU (except for illegal streams off the net). Baseball really needs to address their blackout policy. If I can't get a game locally, which WCIU I cannot, then the game should be available on MLB.tv or EI.

Same for me in the Southwest corner of WI. They will play like a Rockies/Padres game, or something odd like that, instead of the Sox. Makes no sense what so ever.

Fox and ESPN are national games. You can't avoid that.

 

And the U's broadcasts are really a part of the WGN deal.

 

Finally, the csn situation is that way because that network has four teams on it. And games in april/may/sep/oct WILL overlap. This wont change as the Sox hold a stake in CSN, and get paid a lot of money to be on that network.

I agree with that. There are very large chunks of Sox territory that do not get CSN or WCIU. The Sox need to either push MLB to re-define the territories, or start marketing CSN more aggressively to the parts of their territory that don't have it (I'm thinking of Indy in particular).

if you have directv and buy the RSN package, you will get CSN and sox games.

 

What's the Sox contract with WGN?
