Out of town fans - TV tip

[Old Style]

Just a little tip for those not in the Chicago area and without the Extra Innings package. I have Dish Network and with it are several alternate sports channels. They will list games from other Comcast and Fox Sports channels, but they are always blacked out. Because the game went so late last night, I flipped back over to the channel where earlier I had seen the Cubs listed and the blackout apparently was lifted when the original broadcast was scheduled to end allowing me to watch the end of last night's game. I know this won't happen often, but wanted to let everyone know for future reference.

I live in Indianapolis and have Directv. The game was on the Comcast Sports net Chicago alternate CSN+. I was able to watch all 15 innings. :amen:

Actually this happens all the time. Anytime the game runs past its time slot, I am able to switch over.

I never noticed it before.
