I live outside the Cincy area, and Direct tv is telling me that games beginning before 7pm are blacked out by Fox. So now I can't watch the Reds at home on Sat anymore. Anyone one else in this boat. This sucks, not fair. At least put it on at 7pm then. Even if the opposition carries the game it will still be blacked out. Not right. Why did the Reds have to move up Sat games to 6:10?
Yea I'm having the same problem, in effort to get more people to the games I guess?

Fox shouldn't black out though.
It is due to the fact that Fox has national rights on Satudays
Generally the games that start before 7 are nationally broadcast on FOX. The Reds early start is not because of this, but a management decision to start the games an hour earlier.

there's nothing like bowling a 300 game! 13 now and retired.
Ricky henderson has a higher OBP than C. patterson and he's retired. C. Trent 6-14-2008
Reminds me of the Wednesday Night games that were blacked out a few years ago. Sad you can spend hundreds of dollars a year to watch your team and you cant even watch them on a Saturday Night.
