Blackout info?

[9YRPLAN]

is there a website I can use to find out if todays (and future) games will be blacked out in the Des Moines market due to WCIU holding the broadcast rights?

 

Des Moines is considered a local market for the cubs, sox, twins, royals, cards, and brewers, yet there is no way for me to get WCIU here.

If you don't get WCIU, you shouldn't be blacked out for ESPN.

No Banedon, when games are on WCIU and ESPN they are always blacked out here. (Here being Des Moines)

 

I'm hoping todays game is different, but it doesn't sound like it will be.

I'm in Muncie, which is normally blackout territory, but the TV listings here say that the game will be on (it also was on two years ago on Opening Day).

Find a place with DirecTV. Free Extra Innings preview all week.

If ESPN is blacked out, Extra Innings will be too. :evil:

Yeah I am in the Braves blackout area so I may get blacked out as well with no local channel to watch it on unless the Braves are still on TBS.

Try atdhe.net.

The Braves broadcast shouldn't be.

ESPN alternate here in Des Moines just picked up the feed.

Iowa has got to be the worst state as far as blackouts go.
