Fox sports question

[Stu]

I have this really irritating problem and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I live in San Juan, and for years have gotten the Saturday national Fox game on Adelphia, which is my local cable provider.

 

However, this year not one Fox game has been shown on my local cable package. They always show putrid crap like American Idol Rewind or Dancing with the Stars instead of the Saturday game. It is mind-bogglingly irritating.

 

I called the local Adelphia office and they were predictably clueless, telling there was a Fox channel that showed the Copa America games. Then they said they don't control programming. Anyone know who I can call and complain to, or at least get an explanation as to why I can't watch baseball on Saturday? I mean it's not like there should be a blackout rule in effect, because I am 1,500 miles away out in the middle of the Caribbean.

Get satellite?

If you're getting your feed through a cable company that means you're watching a local Fox affiliate. They would control programming and can decided what programs Fox offers they want to broadcast. If they don't want to show the game they don't have to, although I can't imagine those reality shows repeats would generate more viewers than a baseball game. Call the affiliate and ask. Why the cable company didn't tell you this I have no clue.

Thanks, I think the affiliate is somewhere like Erie PA, which would probably be in the Cleveland market. But I would certainly prefer Indians games to Jerry Rice in a tutu.

Man, wish I could help I used to live in Moca, PR and could never get a game, even on satellite.
