Thank you Time-Warner Cable

I went to tune in for Game 7 last night. The menu said that OLN was
showing the game. Switch to channel 201 and a blank screen. 2.5 hours
of blank screen. A quick scan of the other channels as well as some
menu manipulation confirmed it was an exclusive OLN program.

I kind of understand blacking out a home game. I don't agree with the
process, but it is what it is. Blacking out the Anaheim market for not
selling tickets to the Saddledome, or wherever the Flames play, is
ridiculous. Worse is if they did it to sell more NHL Prime Ticket
packages.

It was on KDOC, channel 19 in the OC market. It took me forever to
find it because the TW channel guide listed something else in the
game's place. Always check tvguide.com for anything before you give
up because TW truly does suck. If you actually surfed the channels
and didn't see it, you were probably hitting during a commercial break
or something. It was definitely there, just hidden.

And the NHL wonders why they can't get or keep more American fans.

I probably did just miss it. Silly me for not thinking about channel
19 for a playoff game.

You're SO very right about that last part.

I didn't even know we had the frickin' channel.
