southsider2k5 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 15m15 minutes ago Ventura said there will be Intrasquad games on Monday and Tuesday. The veterans are more likely to get at-bats in the Tuesday game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheDriversSeat Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 03:54 PM) The real problem is MLB's ridiculous blackout rules. I would have no problem paying for MLB.tv if I could get the games on there. Instead I am blacked out nationally from a game that is unavailable to me locally and that makes zero sense. MLB is hurting their product by not allowing my to watch in any way, shape or form unless I want to illegally stream it. They basically promote piracy with their blackout policy. 58 White Sox games will be televised on free TV on KCRG-TV from Cedar Rapids in 2015 (55 with Sox announcers, 3 against the Cubs with Cubs announcers). The 55 games are WGN-TV telecasts, or WPWR-TV telecasts that are produced by WGN-TV. The other 3 games against the Cubs are WLS-TV telecasts. http://www.kcrg.com/MLB2015 http://www.kcrg.com/subject/news/kcrg-tv9-...-games-20150311 Apparently Sox games this year again will be syndicated to parts of Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana, as they have in the past, but many more games will be shown for free on local affiliates across the 3 states than the past because 'WGN America' no longer shows any sports. I see that you are located in southwest Wisconsin, which is blackout territory for the White Sox, Cubs, and Brewers: https://cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_ass...torialmap.0.jpg And you are not far from Dubuque, Iowa, which is part of the 'Cedar Rapids / Waterloo / Iowa City / Dubuque' market. I believe that Channel 9 KCRG-TV is your nearest ABC affiliate. Does your cable or dish company carry KCRG-TV and any of it's sub-channels? If you can't receive KCRG-TV on cable or dish, you might be able to using an antenna. According to this map from the FCC, you are located within the coverage area of this TV station which transmits from a tower located halfway between Cedar Rapids and Waterloo: http://www.bing.com/maps/?mapurl=http://tr...%26state=IA.kml But a problem with KCRG-TV is that the channel still transmits on a VHF frequency which is now harder to receive than UHF. After the 2009 digital transition, most VHF channels moved to new UHF channels (but continue to identify with their former VHF channel). KCRG-TV wasn't allowed to move to UHF, so you may need an outdoor roof antenna to receive the TV station. Regarding the other 107 games: 1 game is televised on regular Fox free TV, 1 game on ESPN2 (also on CSN Chicago), 98 games on CSN Chicago, and 8 games on CSN+ / CLTV. Are you certain that 'CSN Chicago' is not available from any pay TV service in your area? I heard that viewers in Indianapolis, for example, can receive 'CSN Chicago' on AT&T U-verse but not on cable. I visited Cedar Rapids last year, and I was able to watch a 'CSN Chicago' Sox game in my hotel room in High Def. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a student in Iowa City, whatever version of CSN that was broadcasting then was part of our cable package, but maybe not in SW Wisconsin.
