Lack of Reds Games on TV - WHY?
There will be no Reds TV for today's game in Pittsburgh.
In fact, only 6 of the next 10 Reds Games will be broadcast locally. What gives?? Why would you fly your entire TV crew to Atlanta and televise only ONE game?? UPCOMING REDS GAMES NOT ON TV: Wed. May 12, 12:35 PM @ Pittsburgh Tues. May 18, 12:35 PM vs. Milwaukee Thurs. May 20, 1:05 PM vs. Atlanta Sat. May 22 7:05 PM vs. Cleveland I guess I will have to pull up an illegal internet video feed of the other team's broadcast or crank up WLW. With the Reds on such a roll, I wish I could see these boys in action! |

I guess I'll have to turn on 1450 here in Louisville and hope they don't decide to air Colin Cowherd (
) instead

Re: Lack of Reds Games on TV - WHY?
They never air weekday day games, except for opening day. We're getting 145 games. Methinks some people are spoiled. Remember when Channel 5 did around 60 games a year and that was it? The Cleveland game is because there's a Fox National TV game going off at the same time and they have exclusivity.

I understand not showing the day games, but that Indians one is odd.

Re: Lack of Reds Games on TV - WHY?

You're just being difficult. You know the point I was trying to make.
Ok, fine, they ALMOST never show afternoon games. Better? Sometimes I hate this place. |

Re: Lack of Reds Games on TV - WHY?
prob just looking for a way to boost radio audiences. i'm sure talk radio stations are struggling, this is just a way to get more people to listen. i dont mind it, i think its nice to listen to games on the radio every once in awhile

I think they tend to broacast the day games on Holidays (May 31 is Memorial day, lots of people take a long weekend around the 4th of July, Sept 6 is probably Labor day). Other than that it's pretty darn rare to see an afternoon game on TV.

Re: Lack of Reds Games on TV - WHY?
Does anyone know if the game is being streamed live online today anywhere? I know often times a Bengals game isn't on tv, and they come up with a link from somewhere that shows the game...

Re: Lack of Reds Games on TV - WHY?
I asked on go-bengals too, and checked out channelsurfing.net, not having any luck thus far. I checked the Pirates web site, and it says its on FSN there, so hopefully we can get a stream from the pittsburgh broadcast.
