Uverse to Block 20 Cardinals Games Again This Season
You would think that the two sides, Uverse and Fox Sports Midwest, would have come to some sort of agreement in the offseason. Well, if you thought that, you’d be wrong.
For the second season in a row, Uverse subscribers will not be able to watch 20 games, including tonight’s versus the Reds. In fact, 7 of the 20 that are blacked out are games against division rivals like the Reds, Brewers, and Cubs.
Here’s the list of games being blacked out by Uverse.

If you’re going to stay with Uverse, call 1-800-288-2020 and ask for customer retention. Tell them you’re unhappy about the situation and demand a discount. If they are going to screw over their subscribers, hit ’em where it hurts… in their bottom line. Of course, it would be better if you cancel completely (not an option for a lot of people, I know).
being a padres fan, at this point i’d kill to have a tv deal where only 20 games are blacked out. uverse refuses to come to terms with the new fox sports san diego, so it doesn’t look like i’ll be getting ANY games this season.
I just called AT&T & told them I would cancel Uverse & go back to Charter if they did not discount my bill of over $240.00 per month, they discounted my bill by $45.00 per month for the next 12 months
Last year we called ATT about this same issue and got free Showtime, Starz, and expanded HD channels for a year, Well, that year is about up and now we are back to same problem. So, I am going to call tomorrow and tell them give me these same channels free for another year, and I want $25 off my bill every month for a year. This is just total BS!
Looks like I just read that Uverse and FSN came to an agreement so I won’t have to be greedy.
