I live near Cleveland and this is the second time this year that Ive seen NBC give priority to regular season baseball over playoff hockey. They are only going to show the last half hour of the Sabres/Rangers game because the Cleveland Indians are playing. I have the Center Ice package and they arent even showing it on that. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just because hockey isnt big in Cleveland ?

Center Ice shows every game I thought. I am watching it on NBC but different regional coverage I guess. That does suck since the Indians have like 140 games left.

That does really suck, I live in Michigan and all of the Tigers games are on Fox Sports Net so we never have that problem. And there are so many games of regular season baseball left and hockey is coming right down to the end of the playoffs now too.

I fairly a lot agree. If, enable's say, I had to pick between a Giants' customary season interest, and a Yankees' customary interest. there is not any doubt i could watch the Giants. yet, Yankees' interior the playoffs vs Giants' customary season, i could flow with Yankees. The playoffs in no way overlap, so, no longer a lot of a difficulty there. additionally, I see no difficulty with observing the two video games at as quickly as, some thing i've got executed many situations in the past. it is the amazing thing approximately split demonstrate screen television's and MLB.television. i will watch countless video games on television, and characteristic baseball on my computing device. It has all worked out fairly a lot for me. On Saturdays and Sundays in September and October, my house is variety of a activities bar or the ESPN center. In a pinch, there is often TiVo and DVR. Ah, technologies... in basic terms an aside, the NFL generates approximately 7 billion money in annual gross sales, while in comparison with 6 billion for MLB. So, the version is a pair of billion money, that's a lot on everybody's words, however the relative difference won't be THAT a lot. each and each unmarried soccer interest is a funds cow, however the MLB makes up for it quite in sheer quantity or via having 10 situations as many video games. relating to what interest is united statesa.'s interest, I nevertheless think of of baseball because of fact the authentic "interest" for various reasons (that I won't flow into here). Howie long had an excellent quote for the time of his induction into the pro soccer corridor of attractiveness: "Baseball may well be united statesa.'s interest yet soccer is united statesa.'s pastime". EDIT: ok, 1000000000 money is an considerable difference. i ought to have been quite drained and droopy final evening, while i attempted to assert it replaced into "no longer THAT a lot", lol. yet, i think of the numbers point out entire gross sales which does contain the playoffs.

Team Canada beat the Czech Republic in Over Time. That was broadcast on TSN in Canada. It was the first NHL Playoff game that was preempted by something other than another NHL Playoff game so far this season. So, basically missed the whole first period. I forgot to check NBC and it was on, but was more interested in the Team Canada game.
We didn't miss any goals, and now they are scoring in bunches.

First and foremost...watching baseball after watching the NHL regular season play and coming off of my boys 8 month hockey season is like watching grass grow! PAINFUL! Center Ice is not carrying any of this series games for some strange reason and we are stuck with Versus/NBC in Maryland too...What gives????? Please stop talking Brett Hull...you are ruining my fantasy of you...go play golf!

Oh I am so sorry to hear that! Get everyone you know to write a letter to the station and complain. You missed an amazing game and it shouldn't have been given second fiddle to a regular season game for a sport that has over 100 games per season.
