Below is a response from Charter communications re: MLB-EI after I had asked a question as to its availablity this year....doesn't really say much at all... Jacqueline: Thank you for waiting, We don't have any information yet about the avalibility, the kick off date last year was April 3rd you are going to have to check back mid way through March for more information. Moorecg: Thank you. I know that the cable companies are currently negotiating with MLB and there are discussions about this service going exclusively to DirecTV...please inform whomever appropriate at Charter that customers really want to keep this package available. Jacqueline: Charter is aware, did you have any further questions for me today ? Moorecg: No, thank you for your support.
