Not that unusual around here. You can get two out of town stations before
some sort of regulation kicks in. TBS is still considered an Atlanta
station, and it's an automatic one. The choice on the east coast then comes
down to WGN or WWOR out of New York.

They tried a couple of years ago, I thought. The Cubs, Braves, Mets and
Rangers were the big "superstation" teams, but I think those clubs shared
some TV revenue, and settled it. Personally, I'm with you in that the more
games on, the more interest, the better for all. I'm almost ready to buy one
of the small dishes, and add a bunch of superstations to my viewing.
