This summer, on several occasion, including last night (September 11th), I attempted to watch a Philadelphia Phillies baseball game that being broadcast on ESPN. Each time, there has been a different program broadcast in my area (Neptune, NJ). Last night, rather than getting the very important Phillies-Braves baseball game, I tuned in only to find the broadcast on my TV was a women's professional soccer (Chicago playing Orlando). I phone my father, who lives in the same town, 500 yards away from, but is a Verizon Fios subscriber. He was watching the Braves-Phillies game. I contacted ESPN and they assured me that the Phillies-Braves game should have been broadcast on my TV, the issue was entirely up to the discretion of Optimum. I would like an explanation as to why this happens and if it will continue in the future. If so, I am inclined to switch to Fios. I have been a Cablevision/Optimum subscriber for over 20 years. I would like the courtesy of an explanation. I know local blackout rules don't apply.
Thank you.
