April 1, 201115 yr I have Comcast digital here in Tally and usually get all the games on FSN. My guide is showing the Magic on FSN and the Rays on Sunsports tonight. I'm guessing in a head to head vs. the Magic in North and Central FL, the Magic win out. Can anyone confirm? Also, is MLB Extra Innings doing a "free view" this week per usual? And if so, would the game be blacked out on there as well? Thank you for any info.
April 1, 201115 yr I have extrainnings and I'm pretty sure the game will be blacked out. I never get any Marlins games especially if they're still being shown in SoFlo. Also, I think you'll be getting the Magics game (apparently in Orlando, Gville, and Jax we're all getting the Magics so I'm assuming since you're further up you'll also be getting it instead of the Fish).
April 1, 201115 yr Free preview of Extra Innings all week I believe. I can confirm this.....its actually until Apr 9th or 10th I believe.

He might be able to get the Mets telecast being in Tally.
April 1, 201115 yr According to the TV guide for Tallahassee we get the Marlins game. If this is true, I'm jealous.
April 2, 201115 yr Check Fox Sports Florida at midnight for the Marlins replay. They aired the Magic live in North and Central Florida with the Marlins being replayed statewide at midnight.
April 2, 201115 yr Here's what happened with the airing tonight: I sent them a message to rant about how bad the blackout restrictions are and this is what they sent back: Tomorrow and Sunday's game vs. the Mets will air on FOX Sports Florida statewide. When the MLB schedule came out, FOX Sports Florida was already contractually committed to airing an NBA Orlando Magic game in N/Cent FL, so we informed the Marlins and MLB that we could air the game, but only in South Florida. MLB Extra Innings controls the availability of games on that package and presumably chose to black out the entire state for this game on that pay-per-view subscription package, even though they were aware FOX Sports Florida could not air the game statewide due to prior commitments. Saturday and Sunday's games vs. the Mets will air on FOX Sports Florida in NW Florida. Pretty dumb...

And even then, we are in full 100% Rays territory, yet we are blacked out on MLB.tv for BOTH the Rays and the Marlins. Thus making it physically 100% impossible at the University of Central Florida (on campus) to watch a Marlins game. Morons.
April 2, 201115 yr i went to FSU and in 08, my senior year it was a nice surprise they started regularly airing marlins games...dunno if its like that now. but i grreatly, enjoyed/appreciated it while i was there.
April 2, 201115 yr I live in Tallahassee right now too and last year, at the end of the season i was getting every Marlins game just about. Once the NBA season is done Im pretty sure well be getting every game. And we also get every Rays game. And I get WGN so I can watch every Cubs game even though i dont like them.
