    ESPN Issues Apology to Baseball Fans; Archive Available - LSUsports.net—The Official Web Site of LSU Tigers Athletics

    By the way, since the ESPN thread was closed:

    Is it ironic that they are making it available on ESPN360 when most of Baton Rouge/New Orleans can't use it?

    To those who thought it didn't matter...

    [​IMG]
    [FONT=Arial,Sans-Serif]Thanks for writing.

    [/FONT][FONT=Geneva,Arial,Sans-Serif][FONT=Arial,Sans-Serif]We apologize to the great fans of LSU who were unaware that the game was available in their protected market. While we made an effort to alert fans in advance and as it was happening, we will be more aggressive in the future about letting fans know how to access the telecast. [/FONT][/FONT]​

    [FONT=Geneva,Arial,Sans-Serif][FONT=Arial,Sans-Serif]In non-protected markets outside of Louisiana, fans received ESPN2's standard "whiparound" feed, designed to showcase the most exciting action. In Louisiana, fans received the protected game in its entirety on the ESPN2 standard definition channel or on an alternate ESPN2 channel via satellite.[/FONT][/FONT]

    [FONT=Geneva,Arial,Sans-Serif][FONT=Arial,Sans-Serif]We are making the complete telecast available on ESPN.com (as of Wednesday morning), ESPN360.com (available now) and ESPNU (Friday at 3:30 p.m. CT).[/FONT]

    [FONT=Arial,Sans-Serif]Sincerely,
    ESPN Viewer Response[/FONT]

    Re: ESPN issues an apology

    But I was told by people on here that I was wrong, and that I was a bad fan, and that ESPN wouldn't do anything. :rolleye33:

    Re: ESPN issues an apology

    on satellite (at least directv) the espn alternate channels are often 210 and 211.


    the game was on there. you'd have to be a junkie to know that though.

    Yeah, I would have checked from channel 1 thru 1,000,000 to find that game, but I am stuck with a cable provider called direcpath in this complex. I had NO CHANCE of watching after the switch. If you EVER hear of this provider...STEER CLEAR!!!
