5 Reasons I Hate Our Tv Scheduling

by robber23 on May 2, 2005 6:34 PM PDT

5.Today
4.Tommorrow
3.Friday
2.Next Monday....I could go on

The number 1 Reason.

For those poor souls who live out of range for KICU, but not far enough away to be considered out of market where there is mlb.com, there is no game for you. You've been deemed to have no interest in these games. This coming Friday you have been deemed as not interested in the A's first game vs. the Yankees. Next Friday and Saturday the same.

Why can we not have one network. One that is shown outside of the East Bay. I think as A's fans we need to let the new owners know that they are fulfulling their promise to stay a small-market team. They are intentionally handcuffing themselves by not allowing their product to be seen by those who, despite their best efforts, have no ability to physically be at a game.

In the next two weeks we have 12 games in primetime, considered by me games in the evening during the weekdays and anything on the weekend. Of those twelve games, 7 are on KICU, including two fridays and a saturday.

Three this week alone, and not a single one on FSN until saturday.

Am I the only person upset about these stupid rules and decisions?

Or am I just kidding myself?

Oh boy....

Don't get me started, the TV scheduling is completely FUBAR.

KICU Broadcasting

At least the KICU broadcast has gotten better with the upgraded display.
And quite frankly, the center field camera is the only one that I've actually found useful. Normally I hate it when they switch to terrible angles during a live AB.
Of course, FSN is always nice

Display is only great if you can see the display

I'm with ya

I'm in Sacramento and my only hope is that UPN picks up the KICU broadcast, but that rarely happens.

I'm in Sacramento too. :-(

Ditto :-(

I emailed KMAX several times before and their reply was that they carry more Giants games because their ratings are higher. Ugh.

GO A's!!!

Solution

24 hr all A's network. Just like the YES network only for the A's. When there is no game on it could show old A's games, have chats with A's legends, and nobody would ever have to miss a game.....and then I woke up.
