it's on Masn (Mid-Atlantic sports network Directv channel 640)

[Re21581]

I unfortunately have TWC. Does that mean I am screwed?

May want to see if it is on SportSouth or MASN. Orioles home games are sometimes picked up by the regional sports networks. Much like UNC is blacked out on ESPN when they are on Raycom for this area.

They blackout all games with the Orioles or Reds. The Mets/Reds was scheduled for ESPN at 1 but was not on due to the blackout rule.

Reds, Orioles, Nationals, Braves are all subject to local blackout..which means that if they're on ESPN, they'll be blacked out in order to put them on regional sports channels...Get DirecTv...

We're just lucky, I guess.

Will I get them if I get MLB season ticket for TWC?

[PlainWhite]

No, all Orioles games are blacked out here, including MLB Package. TWC refuses to carry MASN, so you'll never see an Orioles game in Charlotte unless you have DirectTV. Major bummer when your fave team is playing the Orioles.

Thanks PlainWhite, do you happen to know if that goes for the Yankees?

Granted I was thinking about buying it for Midwestern baseball but I was stoked about watching NYY/Mets games also.
