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?

Does your cable or satellite tv provider offer the MLB Network?
