Which Cubs telecast to choose ?

April 10, 2009 by diana

I have an odd issue here.

Sometimes our cable listings show more than one channel carrying the same Cubs game.

Now this really shouldn't be a problem, EXCEPT that usually one of those telecasts will be blacked out and I'm a time shifter.

Yep, I usually don't watch live television. I'm still very aware of the commercials and will rewind a show a bit to catch commercials with useful information or entertaining content.

Without time shifting it would be difficult to follow Dancing with the Stars, American Idol and all the available Cubs games and still somehow have a life.

My question is: Is the a pattern to which telecasts are most likely to not get blacked out?

For telecast info regarding individual Cubs games, check out the cubs.com schedules at:

and
http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/schedule/broadcast.jsp

So far, the above page doesn't list telecast info for the Cubs/Cardinals game on Sept 10.
I'm also wondering if they'll have a special promotion givaway for that game day.

The September 5 game vs the Dodgers is scheduled to air on WGN and ESPN.
