Where exactly are you at? It's channel 56 on DTV here.

Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara.

I think you would probably get it but who knows.

 

[terranraida]

Living in Richmond, I get 0 game coverage. However, there are kind souls who stream games on the Internet. Just a heads up.

I hate kdoc

Kdoc is fine if you have it in hd, I see no difference. I hated it when Verizon didn't have it in hd tho

Why do you say that? I think their picture quality is as good as Fox or any of the other networks.

We don't get KDOC in Vegas. We still get blacked out though on National TV and KDOC broadcasts on Center Ice.

You have plenty of places to go watch it in Vegas. Crappy rules for TV blackouts but its not like you have nowhere to go.

I'm well aware of that, just would prefer FSW/PT, in the comfort of my home. Worse comes to worse find a stream. I tend to get loud, especially for playoff games.

That's true, every time I've been to a Vegas casino it sounded like a library in there.

You might prefer FS, but KDOC is picking up games that FS didn't want. So the choice is really KDOC or no broadcast.

I know it sucks extra for your market, but the other good thing about KDOC is it's an over-the-air channel. So people who don't have cable can watch Ducks games.

If you have GCL all you need is a free or low cost VPN.

I remember when the Ducks first started appearing on KDOC...no joke the broadcasts felt vintage.

It is basically the same as FSPT now. In truth, I am grateful to them. Thanks to KDOC, Duck fans can now watch every single game on local television.

Because I don't get it in Vegas and nbcsports still manages to get blacked out here since I only get socal feeds.

I have to watch a playoff game on a stream

Well, be thankful it's only a few games a year. But as Snark pointed out, fox passed on the KDOC games. So even without KDOC you would be watching a stream.

Henry owns KDOC which probably accounts for why they pick up the left over games.

 

[The Duck Knight]

That's perfectly understandable. What's BS is the blackout rules to begin with in this situation. We're in the "local market", but KDOC isn't available. Therefore, we shouldn't get the KDOC games blacked out on CI and NBCSN.

It's also too bad regular season baseball takes precedence over playoff hockey with Fox, but that isn't likely to ever change.

I hear ya. I'm fed up with the whole cable/satellite industry.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

If cable/satellite companies weren't so greedy I can see a future where games wouldn't get blacked out and you can order channels a la carte instead of being forced into higher/more expensive packages. I really just need the sports channels.

Even though I'm an Angels fan, I'm not happy I can't catch any Dodger or Laker games because I don't have the right television provider.

 

[MMonarchs]

I have Center Ice with DirecTv and what's interesting is the regular season games televised by KDOC will be available on the away team's broadcast. This is normally blacked out when televised by FSW/PT. So maybe NBCSN won't be blacked out tomorrow. Time will tell.

NBC is considered a national broadcast. It will be blacked out.

Santa Barbara.

Hey OP, me too. I don't think we'll see it on NBCSN. Here's to hoping I'm wrong...

 

[MMonarchs]

Maybe Pitt and Columbus will go to 4OT's, resulting in the entire Ducks game being on NHL Network.
