Cardinals not being broadcast in Memphis, TN

You are correct that we are in the Cardinals local broadcast zone. However, all of our games are rebroadcast from FanDuel Sports Midwest onto either FanDuel Sports South or FanDuel Sports Southeast. In the past programming congestion was so bad that they were broadcasting some of the games on a standard definition alternate channel. Over the past few years as Bally Sports some of the games would be advertised to be shown but never aired. In Memphis we're in the TV market to see the St. Louis Cardinals, Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Memphis Grizzlies, and Nashville Predators.  Realignment to the Midwest TV sports market would make more sense in the Mid-South.

@user_vpz1yz​ I doubt we'll get FanDuel Sports Midwest, because that channel also carries St. Louis Blues hockey games, and that would conflict with the Nashville Predators.

Supposedly, the Cardinals games are available on "FanDuel Sports Southeast Extra", but I can't find that channel on my guide. Xfinity, a little help for your subscribers in Memphis, please?

@user_es3se4​ - they would do what NBC (formerly Fox) Sports Bay Area and California do. Everybody in San Francisco has to get both, as one has the baseball Giants and the other the baseball Athletics and NHL Sharks. However, the one with the Giants has the NBA Warriors, while the other has the NBA Kings, and the NBA will not allow anyone to get both sets of games, so each has a separate version of its feed with the NBA games removed - i.e. people in the "Warriors region" get the version of NBC Sports California without the Kings games, and people in the "Kings region" get the version of NBC Sports Bay Area without the Warriors games.

As for the Cardinals, maybe the channel is under some crazy name - try going to the guide and searching for "cardinals" (press 2, 2, 7, 3, and so on) to see if any games show up.

Thanks for the suggestion. What you mentioned is what had occurred in the past when the feed was under the Fox Sports/Bally Sports umbrella. There is no broadcast on any of the channels available including the MLB Extra Innings channel.

How is this a licensing or contract agreement issue when the Cardinals have been offered in Memphis by Xfinity since the early 2000's? It's ridiculous to be charged a regional sports fee and not receiving the Cardinals broadcast that should be included with the service.

While you may have had Cardinals games broadcast in your area more frequently in previous years, every season has the potential to bring new programming agreements between the MLB and regional sports networks across the country. In the case of this season, it's also possible that the transition regional sports networks made to FanDuel Sports recently updated or changed the teams broadcast most frequently in your area.

If you visit https://getmyhometeams.com/ it should give you the ability to check your area for what teams you can expect to broadcast in it similar to the picture you shared. Keep in mind that even though the Cardinals may be shown for your area, FanDuel Sports does include a disclaimer that some teams may not available in all areas.

I've already reached out to the St. Louis front office and they referred me to the FanDuel Sports Network Midwest phone number. An voice greeting requests that you chat to a national customer service portal or send an email. Already tried this and it went into a run around. In previous years you could talk to someone over the phone but not anymore. Its highly unlikely any of these games will be on TV unless Xfinity and FanDuel Sports work out the technical issues that have occurred this year.
