Neither Cox nor LUS carry Astros games. They are also blacked out in Louisiana and Texas when on the MLB Network and completely online. Reason for that is due to the Astros deal with AT&T which is a regional sports network, similar to Bally Sports. Large blackout areas are the case with many regional sports networks (RSN) throughout the nation. They pay lots of money to MLB and the franchises to encourage people to subscribe to their service. However, many RSN's are in financial trouble. That is why I believe things will change soon and more games will be available in currently blacked out areas. Note accessing games via the DoFu sports app is considered "illegal" streaming by some. However, when games are not available by normal means, it is expected people will use other ways to access the product. I watch on my IPAD as it is an app difficult to access on regular computers.
. . . we get the Astros for a series with the Rangers this week . . .
I’m getting the Rangers at the Astros right now on the Texas Rangers channel.
Just makes me wonder why the MLB channel didn’t cover the Athletics game when they were the listed game vs Stros. Whatever I’m a Cajun fan not a sports fan
Well I guess my point is Texas is at Astros and I’d think the Athletics have a contract that’s also independent of the Astros. If I can see Rangers at Astros I’d believe that the athletics could happen out of Oakland since they were highlighted on MLB platform. Not gonna lose any sleep over it.
Cox carries Rangers network . . . Mike covered it here
