How Comcast can Black out Versus during Playoffs??????

How is it the Comcast (A Monopoly) Can black out Versus sporting events like Hockey while in the playoffs when Versus is showing the Pens vs Flyers?

I thought Versus was the Hockey Network, like the NFL NFL Network & Fox, CBS and NBC as well as MLB. But they do not block out, they play the teams in the region to where u live unless its the game of the wk so on...

But if you are to be the Hockey Network as Versus says it is, stand up against Comcast & make them play your Channel.

I am anti Philly, I can't stand Comcast, I can't stand Philly teams but i live here in Central PA & have to deal with whats here. the announcing is so bias towards every team. I want to watch sports with broadcasters who are neutral.

Anyone from the Versus network can help me out on this concept much appreciated...

To top it off, I can't even get Cableone to add Versus to its list of pay-channels. I have tried for three or four years (since NHL went to Versus, whenever the hell that was) to get Cableone, Versus or someone to add Versus to the lineup.

Cableone has it in some regions, just not where I live.


And I agree with the Devil Himself. They are a horrible network, and it has hurt the NHL IMHO to have a third rate channel airing their sport. If you want to be associated with bull riding and cycling, this is the place. If you want to be associated with the more popular/wide spread sports like.....football, baseball, hell even NASCAR, this isn't the place.

Not to mention this is the worst run forums for any professional service I have ever seen. No moderators? lol.

I hate to interrupt this pissing match with factual information, but here goes:

To the OP: you say you live in Pennsylvania. Thus, you are in either the Flyers or the Penguins market, and needed to watch the games on either CSN-Philadelphia or Fox Sports Pittsburgh. By NHL blackout rules, Versus was not allowed to show the game, so they didn't have a choice in the matter. Comcast owns Versus, do you think they want to black out their own channel? They have no choice but to do so by the NHL blackout rules, as the games were televised in your area by another network. For the 2nd round, Versus will have 2 Penguins games exclusively, that will not be blacked out on Versus even in Pennsylvania, and will not be on Fox Sports Pittsburgh. Any other games will be on either NBC (and only NBC), or on Fox Sports Pittsburgh and blacked out on Versus in PA.

What he said.


Now....back to pissing and moaning:


Versus sucks.
