The Mets’ win in their series finale over the Blue Jays yesterday was the first regular season game of the 2025 season to air on WPIX. If you’re a Mets fan living in upstate New York, though, you might have had no other choice but to listen to the game on the radio.
For years, Major League Baseball’s blackout policy has considered a huge geographical region to be “in-market” for broadcast purposes, but for those who live outside the range of WPIX, trying to watch the whopping 24 games that air on the network—nearly 15 percent of the Mets’ regular season—is a challenge.
