NOTICE REGARDING TV BLACKOUTS FOR MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

The 2009 MLB season is underway, but fans of several Midwest-area baseball teams may find themselves frustrated when tuning in to their favorite game.  

Major League Baseball rules require mandatory blackouts of games on ESPN, ESPN2, TBS, and other networks for certain teams.  For Iowa, the blackout rules apply to the following teams: Minnesota Twins, Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, and St. Louis Cardinals.  The number of games that will be blacked-out is similar to last year.

Listings on TV Guide Interactive (Digital Cable onscreen guide) and TV Guide Channel (Ch. 99) may sometimes show that a specific game will be on, but ends up being blacked out.  If you tune in to a game and find that its not on, it is likely because of the blackout.

When a game is blacked out, the network may provide alternate programming.  At other times, you may see a blank screen. 

SMU HAS NO CONTROL OVER THESE BLACKOUTS!  They are controlled by Major League Baseball and the networks that carry the games.  We apologize for any inconvenience these blackouts might cause.

 

SMU Cable TV features a great lineup of your favorite TV channels at an affordable price! Choose from Basic, Expanded Basic, Digital Cable, or Hi Def Cable packages.

SMU Cable TV is designed by Spencer residents to meet their needs. In order to give citizens a direct say in the operation of their cable TV service, Spencer Municipal Utilities has established a Cable Programming Committee. The seven-member committee is charged with the responsibility of making decisions regarding the SMU Cable TV lineup.
