Joxer_Daly Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 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?!

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?
