Tigers-beagles exclusive to ESPN, no share with ABC so everyone gets that game

ESPN hates LSU


(And seriously, if you are talking about the LSU game, then it is directTV's FUBAR. There is no reason for them to blackout that game.)

explain again.

The ABC games are regional. If you are getting the regional game that ESPN is airing, then you get blacked out for your local ABC affiliate

damn.

LSU-AU is EXCLUSIVE to ESPN. The games during the DAY are all regional.

The whole country gets LSU-AU on ESPN. The whole country gets UGA-ASU tonight.

Ya'll do understand that ABC owns ESPN right?

What game are you trying to get that is blocked out? I have D-TV as well and I am getting every game that is on ABC, ESPN, CBS whatever. I got them all so it must just be in your area.

Yet another reason I don't live in Shreveport anymore.

I'd be sick. Drive to Bossier if all else fails.

I have the same problem here in Prairieville, just got off the phone with Direct TV, I sat on hold for 20 minutes while they contacted ESPN. The guy said that the Virginia Tech is block here for some unknown reason but when that game ends ESPN will be back on & the LSU game will be shown across the country.
