I mean, this is how itās been for ages. Local networks get exclusivity rights, itās the incentive that sells their network. They say right from the start with this service that itās for out of market games.

Hey, the microwave display shows up in HD. I’ve had it for years, it’s easily the most reliable way for me to catch out of market games. And it fucking reheats pizza!

I find it ridiculous that in BC I canāt watch a Flames or an oilers game (not that I want to) on Sportsnet because itās blacked out. I live in BC so surely Iām not able to go to the game. Why are they blacking these games out unless itās a national game night? I get when a game is blacked out for a home team if itās not sold out and they want more fans to show up. But in todayās day and age there shouldnāt be any blackouts. Period.

It’s so crazy how in a world that is all connected now, we are making efforts to localize content. This whole broadcast system feels so due for an overhaul.
