Definately! Although even worse is the blackout range some of these teams claim. Buffalo gets blacked out by the Indians, Pirates, Yankees, and Mets. Yet the closest team (Toronto) isn't. Not so coincidentally, I actually go to a few of their games
Canada, as a foreign country, does not, to the best of my knowledge, suffer any Saturday blackout. But then we do not have any FOX stations within the country.
No one cares about the Yankees-Nationals game outside of Desethi and his brothers. Certainly no one in Michigan. Couldn't get the Cubs-Tigers here in Michigan. What a joke.
The biggest reason I didn't renew my subscription to MLB extra innings is because of that blackout. The time when I would most want to watch the games is Saturday afternoon, but since no games are shown then, a lot of the potential value for me is lost.
