I've been living in Lafayette since February and I don't get how Cox can find room for so many crappy channels in its lineup but doesn't carry WGN. None of the Cubs, White Sox, or Bulls games shown on WGN come in the extra innings or league pass packages because those games are considered nationally televised. Outside of sports, WGN is a staple of cable television. Why can't Cox at least offer the station in its Variety pack so people in Lafayette have a chance to view all the games that most Americans can access?

Surprised Cox would have a different line-up in Lafayette than Baton Rouge. We get WGN in standard and HD here.

I mean I'm glad to get CST, and I bought MLB.tv instead of extra innings, so I get the Cubs and White Sox but lose the Rangers because the blackout rules say we are in both the Astros and Rangers market even though we get the small number of Rangers games that are on in Baton Rouge. But my high speed internet from Cox barely performs, and I've had too many problems with the mlb.tv stream.

Well there's Star Trek: TNG, Newhart, WWE Superstars, and the emergence of Colvin and Castro. And I'm willing to sit through the Cubs losing one run games to see their at bats for another month.

Wow, and I thought I was getting almost 3 mbps when I am paying for 12-15.

Not being able to watch the Cubs is a blessing. I have no idea why anyone would watch the White Sox, especially wiht that cocktrumpeter Hawk Harrelson calling the games.

Neither the Cubs nor the White Sox nor the Bulls play games without an opposing team. Does anyone who has extra innings know if they show the other team's feeds when the game is on WGN?
