NBA League Pass

For those that live in Southern California whom ABC decided would rather watch the Suns game rather than the Spurs game, and who have League Pass, here is some information for you.

Blackouts take place when a televised game is televised locally in your area. If a game is blacked out on NBA LEAGUE PASS in your local area, you should tune to your local station to see the game.

This game was NOT locally televised in many areas yet it was not available on League Pass.

With NBA LEAGUE PASS, you will be able to see up to 40 out-of-market regular season games a week. Games included in NBA LEAGUE PASS are in addition to those available on ABC, TNT, NBA TV, ESPN, ESPN2 and your local networks (such as a regional sports network and/or over-the-air station).

It does NOT say that it excludes games on ABC or NBA TV, it says IN ADDITION TO. I consider this a blatant mis-representation.

Anyone else who has experienced this, or who could experience this in the future, I encourage you to write to the NBA at the e-mail address I have provided ([email protected]) and let them know your concerns.

Consumers have power. Let's use it.

That is why I don't pay $200 for League Pass. They're greedy.

I feel for you, as I do for the Suns/Memphis fans that were in the 80% of the country that got the Spurs/Pistons coverage.

However the "in addition to" clearly means that the national games will be on the respective channels only and that leage pass will carry the remaining games.

If you are upset with someone you should be upset with ABC for splitting the coverage like that. It is also the ABC exclusive rights that prevented leage pass from showing it.
