The Blues are in the playoffs. The Cardinals are tearing the cover off the ball.
It's a good time for fans of both teams, as well as for Fox Sports Midwest — which has the local television rights to both clubs.
But because each is playing tonight, FSM is putting the Blues-Chicago hockey game on its main channel in the immediate St. Louis market and sending the Cardinals-Milwaukee baseball contest to Fox Sports Midwest Plus, a secondary outlet it uses for overlapping programming.
This also will be the case outside the market for customers of AT&T U-verse, DirecTV and Dish Network.
