As someone who lives in Georgia, I’m not hip to the problems facing FoxSports Midwest viewers right now. I watch my Blues games on NBC or NBCSN, the NHL Network when they get shunted over there, and mostly on the NHL.tv streaming service. I remembered seeing something a few months ago about FoxSports Midwest and Sinclair Broadcasting failing to come to distribution terms with Dish, but it didn’t register to me that a) they’d let the problems drag into the new year and b) that it involved other services.
Comments on the post listing game start times alerted me to the fact that this problem is going to ding the start of the Blues’ season, and it’s surprising to me that Sinclair has allowed these issues to bleed over into the start of the season for one of their biggest ratings generators.
