Anyone else have this problem?

I'm a big Bobcats fan and have charter TV. Almost every single time the Bobcats have a game Fox Sports South says in the description that it will be showing the Bobcats game at whatever time it is, well never have I seen the Bobcats on TV. I always turn it there and it'll be some kind of hockey game or hunting show or under the lights, etc. It's really frustrating and I always have to end up following it on my phone or ESPN gamecast. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for reaching out to me regarding the Bobcats on cable. FSN owns our television broadcast rights and this year will distribute 80 regular season games on SportSouth (SPSO) to every cable and satellite operator in North and South Carolina. Through negotiations with FSN, the following cable operators have opted to pick up broadcasts of Bobcats games on SPSO; Time Warner Cable in Charlotte, Greensboro, Fayetteville, Raleigh and Winston-Salem; Mi-Connection (Mooresville, NC); SkyLine Communications (West Jefferson, NC), Southern Coastal Cable, LLC (Georgetown, SC), AT&T in Charlotte, Raleigh and Columbia and Comcast in Charleston. We have reason to believe that additional cable providers in both North and South Carolina will decide to pick up Bobcats games at some point this season, but it’s still premature to discuss which ones might do so.

As of the end of last season, Charter was one of the cable providers that had made the decision to not carry Bobcats games.

It should be noted that satellite providers DirecTV and Dish Network have opted to limit their carriage of the Bobcats on SPSO to the NBA-designated inner market: a 75-mile radius around the city of Charlotte. Neither DirecTV nor Dish Network will make Bobcats games available on SPSO beyond the NBA’s 75-mile inner market radius because they both decided not to pay the league’s outer market fees.

Regardless of a cable or satellite operator's decision to carry the Bobcats on SPSO, all of our games are blacked out on NBA League Pass in North and South Carolina per NBA rule to protect the team’s broadcast partner.

I hope this answers any questions you might have about the broadcast situation in Gaffney. Let me know if you have any more.
