Wait until you hear about how you cannot pay to watch all the NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL games in your market on a streaming service. Unless something has very recently changed, there’s no method of legitimately paying where you won’t still experience blackouts.
Yikes, I hadn’t even thought of that! There are some local games where the only way to watch if you live in that city is to buy a ticket to go to the stadium, right?

I can’t say for sure. I think in at least some cases the blackouts are to support local cable tv, which we no longer subscribe to. I don’t think there tend to be games that can be watched only in person, but it’s possible I just don’t know.

I don’t watch sports much, but I think I’ve heard multiple times of certain games being played locally not being available at all on TV due to black outs. I could be wrong though.
