Guys if its not on FSN look on WFTC 29 out of the cities. WFTC has some but not the majoritry of the Twins telecasts. Also a few games are simply not broadcast on TV. I am on the western border of minnesota and have no issues like this. I think u guys are just looking on the wrong channel. Go to Dairy Queen and get a free pocket schedule and it will tell you what if any chanel each and every game is on.

I just switched from local cable to direct tv and was told before purchasing it that i would recieve the twins games. I live in superior, wi which is just a suburb of Duluth, MN. and for some reason the powers that be changed my rsn to only include the brewers. At the start of the season I recieved both twins and brewers games. All of a sudden last week all of the twins games are blacked out. I called direct and no one could give me an answer. Doesn't make sense.

We live east of Green Bay & have Direct TV. Our Brewer games are also blacked out. What is the deal?

We don't know who is doing the blacking out, but yes, we have noticed it on occasion. We have DirecTV here in Arizona, and have been pleasantly surprised to find that the powers that be are airing BOTH teams' broadcasts this year. That way we do not have to listen to a bunch of HOMERS from SOME OTHER TEAM, and can just sit back and enjoy our own guys. Admittedly, there are some blackouts, particularly on weekends, and we surely would like to know why all the way out here in ARIZONA we should be expected to ATTEND the game instead of watching it on the tube. Can't be done, boys.

I'm mad for a similar reason. I live 150 mi from MN in Eau Claire, WI and cannot get the Brewer games. We get Twins games. BORING. Apparently this is considered MN territory. How stupid is that? All winter it's the Timberwolves. Again BORING. I pay Dish network for WI sports and get MN sports. I was told when I signed on to Dish that when the NBA regular season is over I will get Brewers games. Not so far.....Who comes uo with these rules? Maybe he should consider a job more suited to his intellect...perhaps shveling Thunderbird poop at the Ford factory. WHEN do WI fans get WI baseball????

This is getting ridiculous. I live in Hibbing, MN and the games are listed as available on FSN through DishNetwork, but when I tune in I'm getting fishing and outdoors shows.

I'm still a little pissed about having to miss the opener because FSN can't get it together.

What's the deal FSN?

Why are we getting blacked out. I live 120 miles from Minneapolis (Directv), but the people with cable in town are getting the games.

FSN North is blacking out MN Twins games in some of the outlying areas on DirecTV (which like Fox is owned by NewsCorp) as well as on DISH network.

This also happened in the Central Illinois area for St. Louis Cardinals Games. See
community.foxsports.com/boards/topic.asp...

Fortunately for them it has been resolved. In fact, I'm getting St. Louis Cardinals games even though I live right next to the Iowa-Minnesota border but I'm being blacked out of the MN Twins games.

This is plain asnine.
