Comcast

Post by Sutter'sBeard »

Comcast (in my area) has dropped 20 Cards game from Fox Sports Midwest, including last nights Brewers game. I'm sure those douches won't drop the Cubs v. Cards games so they'll be on two channels at once. The sucky part is that you never know which games it's gonna be until the game starts. The digital menu shows the game on, but it won't be on. Last night, I had to make a call to a buddy with a Dish and go over and watch it at his place.

So you get FSMW but they just decide not to let you see certain games that everyone else is getting? That sounds really dumb and I can't even come up with a reason why that would work in their favor.

Is there any link to this news Sutter? If this is true, I'm prepared to start an uprising.
