Wtf? So I'm SoCal enough to be blacked out, but not SoCal enough to get timewarner?

Southern California is split between tons of cable carriers. That's why this is a story to begin with because until they agree we're SOL.

There is a similar situation happening in San Diego with the Padres only having their games on broadcasted in homes with Cox Cable.

Hopefully the pressure from our large fan base will force them to get this done.

I have TWC but there's no info on whether it's including in their non-sports packages. I hope so because I don't want to pay extra.

I've heard it might cause an increase in Cable bills of $2-5. Not sure if that's definite or not however.

Being able to actually watch the games is a price to pay?

Update: There is no progress. 27 days until the Channel launches.

**Cris** · 09-19-2012, 07:07 PM

Still nothing. 12 Days from training camp.

**Basel** · 09-19-2012, 07:43 PM

This is getting ridiculous.

This guy hasn't been able to watch every Laker game on TV since he was a kid. No sympathy here guys.

But on a real note that does suck. Hope it gets worked out.

If the season started today, if you'd be willing to for over the $ for league pass you could watch the games.

If the season started today, in the Lakers Media Market there is no possible way other than illegally streaming the games to watch them as league-pass is blacked out AND it wouldn't be available on local channels.

Blows any way you look at it.

What was wrong with FSN West and KCAL anyway? And is this new Time Warner channel going to feature just the Lakers games or other programming as well?

**Basel** · 09-20-2012, 09:42 PM

Isn't it a Lakers channel 24/7?

Buy league pass cheapskate. Before I moved back to SoCal two months ago I was living out of LA for the past 15 years. Had league pass for 14 of them.
