Message: [QUOTE="zls44, post: 4688984, member: 32"] So, this is something I experienced for many years living in Bristol as a NY Rangers/Knicks fan with MSG. In Wolcott, ONE TOWN OVER, they get MSG on Xifinity. In Bristol, they didn't. But I was still blacked out on all the NHL packages from watching the Rangers, even though the channel wasn't being carried. [I][B]whyyyyy[/B][/I]? because this allowed the league to use fans to pressure Xfinity to carry it. This may be what you are experiencing with SNY in Cromwell (itd be weird, given the location). Not every "cable provider" puts the channel on in their entire area, but that entire area is in the blackout zone. the teams/leagues want angry fans to call the provider and demand the channel in the hopes that it'll pressure them to add it.
