Canada I can't confirm but I believe those living in the Windsor Ontario area are subject to blackouts from Detroit Tiger Games. I have a MLB radio subscription and when the Blue Jays have been the free game of the day, and there's a Tigers game broadcasting simultaneously, I have been blacked out from watching the free Jays game.
Could someone confirm this restriction? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.207.108.152 (talk) 18:26, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
Postseason baseball coverage in Canada
[edit]I am confused about postseason baseball coverage in Canada. The US broadcaster FOX seems to get the contract each year, and local Canadian broadcasters only seem able to re-broadcast the FOX coverage. Perhaps someone knowledgeable about this arrangement can edit the article to explain how things work, keeping the following specific questions in mind:
- Is it a policy of MLB that both countries must rely on the same broadcaster for postseason games? (What about other countries?)
- Are Canadian broadcasters able to compete for these postseason contracts? Do they?
- Does the presence of a Canadian baseball team in the postseason (currently the Blue Jays but historically also the Expos) affect the broadcast rules?
- How is the MLB arrangement squared with Canadian law? (I'm surprised there is no legal clause prohibiting what essentially amounts to the forced access of a US broadcaster to the Canadian market.)
If we're going to have an article about the MLB blackout policy, I think the Canadian angle is very important to cover. Good luck, editors!76.10.151.51 (talk) 00:25, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
