Like MLB ticket or something like that. Even if you have a satellite dish network and MLB Extra innings...if the game is on WCIU and the Sox broadcast is the one that is carried, people outside the WCIU viewing area will not get the game. Some sort of stupid exclusive contract for games between the Sox and WCIU. I can't figure out why WCIU wouldn't want the ratings from me watching, but it seems that they don't. Thanks for making me realize the game was on WCIU btw, I hadn't looked at my calendar yet. Now I know not to head home until the game was finished (thankfully, MLB radio never gets blacked out other than through technical problems) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Best recommendation would be to find a bar that has mlb ticket and head into there. Otherwise if you go to www.mlb.tv you should be able to purchase on game, but I'm no familiar with how to get around blackout restrictions.

SouthSide2004 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Actually just got MLBTV today for $20 for all the games in September and October. I had the same problem as you, but I don't think there is any legit way to get around the blackouts. My advice is to find a close relative or friend who lives outside of Chicago and ask them to purchase it for you. You can check out what areas are blackouted for each team on their website.

Soxy Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Or you could just listen to Sox N Roll for a more, uh, colorful commentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
