Apparently Almost the Entire State Now Has the Bobcats on TV!

According to our play-by-play guy Steve Martin! He had been asking fans to tweet him their zip code and cable/sat. provider. He said it was being passed along to Fox and the providers and they were seeing what they could do about it. I had been tweeting him, as well as many others, for at least 2 or 3 weeks.

After all of these years, I really didn't have a lot of hope for anything to happen, even if Steve was doing his part to help... I just didn't see anything changing.

BUT, after initially saying that I probably wasn't getting the games right outside of Raleigh because of MLB TV rules (I don't really care about baseball anyway lol), he tweeted this yesterday:

@22thesnowman your complaints helped make this happen, nBA looked into it and with Fox help found a tech. Problem.

How awesome is that? He said there was a technical problem that was messing things up in getting the games to us on our end... But apparently, Steve was putting in a lot of work to help us get them on TV and it worked! I didn't get to check out the game last night because we had a drastic change of plans for Thanksgiving and had to do last minute shopping, but I can't wait 'til tomorrow night!

Everyone who didn't get the games before should definitely tweet Steve and thank him!

Must not have fixed it in Wilkesboro yet. I was at my parents for Thanksgiving and the Toronto game wasn't being shown even though the channel guide said that it was supposed to be

I live in Hickory, which is close to Wilkesboro. This area has the games on DirecTv & AT&T U-Verse. I'm assuming your parents have Charter? They are still refusing to show the games.

I work for Charter & from what I have been told it has something to do with TWC. Obviously, TWC has quite a bit invested in the team. At some point this season, though, Charter will begin broadcasting all of the Cats' games.

Until then I am just out of luck. I'm glad things have finally changed, though. This organization has alienated it's local market worse than any pro team I can think of. Now the entire Carolina region has access to the games.

Say what you want about MJ as a FO guy, but I think he has done a great job. He hired an excellent GM in Cho & stepped down to give him full control. Then he expanded the horrible tv market to include the entire NC/SC markets.
