From what I understand, you have to buy [MLB.tv](http://MLB.tv), and then get the Twins specific package to avoid the blackouts. Small price to pay to actually get baseball without it getting blacked out to hell.
Having to get one for a Wild specific package would be spendy…but worth.
Nice of them to highlight the blackout area
This is going to be the future of all sports broadcasting. The writing has been on the wall for a long time. Having games in four, five or even six different channels that keeps people buying larger and larger sports packages is over. The Team/ League can make more money when the Team is on one channel. Buying a “No Blackout” package is the icing on the cake.
If the Wild were smart they would sell to OTA networks. The problem with the NHL is they have hidden their games so deep on cable.
Haha I have seen debates about where the boundaries of Twins/Vikings territory is I thought surely Minnesota had part of Montana covered
$299.99 a year, with home games blacked out for everyone in the 11 county metro area?
Anyone know when the current contract expires?
No because the NHL will do the stupidest thing a million times before doing anything that costs them money.
lack of tv options is a prime reason why i barely see or pay much attention to hockey any more.
