OK, here's the deal. Both Rays (mostly on Sun Sports) and Marlins (mostly on FOX Sports Florida) can air statewide, so that's why MLB Extra Innings blacks out Marlins and Rays games in Florida - the games (150 for each team) are airing already on either Sun Sports or FOX Sports Florida. So, for the fan in Lake Mary, If a Rays or Marlins game is scheduled on either Sun Sports or FOX Sports Florida in Northern and Central Florida, then you, living in Lake Mary, will see the game on Bright House as Bright House carries both regional sports channels in that area. Early in the 2011 season, for about the first week to 10 days, there are a few games for both Rays & Marlins, where either the games cannot air statewide, or they may be airing on the other channel (Sun Sports or FS Florida), due to pre-existing conflicts with NBA & NHL games. Here's the schedule for this weekend's Rays & Marlins games....
