Why are the BE games always blacked out on SNY?

Is there an alternate channel?

"To put an end to all the confusion, when SNY lists a game in the Syracuse area, or any of the Time Warner Cable available areas in the north east, and something else is on, like boxing, or a mets rerun or whatever, 99.999% of the time, it is because it has been picked up by one of the TWCS stations. There are two of them. Its not SNY's doing, because those games are on SNY in areas that don't have TWC. TWCS can buy the rights to the games that would be shown on SNY, but they are blacked out because TWC has the bought the authority to show those games on their own channels (TWCS). When a Big East game shows up on SNY in the program menu and it isn't actually on your screen, it means it is on a TWCS channel. It isn't as complicated as many are making it out to be."

You beat me to the repost. TWCS1/2 are great channels. They should be proud of that, especially with HS football and bball coverage. It's great for the schools in the area, plus they carry all the big east games each week not on ESPN/2/U/3-only
