Tribe TV

This post from Cleveland Scores suggests that the Indians are well on their way to screwing up their new television venture by trying to hold the cable companies hostage. I understand the need to maximize revenue streams, but if the Tribe thinks fans are going to blame the cable company if there are problems getting games on TV this season, they're mistaken.

Tribe TV is the Indians' baby, and everybody knows it. They were so enamored with the concept of their own network that they decided to walk away from FSN Ohio, which did a decent job of local coverage for the past several years. The network has the potential to be a bonanza for the Indians and local sports fans, but if Tribe TV doesn't work right, fans will blame the Indians.

Thanks for adding Cleveland Sports Perspective to the links. Contrary to your opinion, we are not on meds, but finally see some light at the end of the tunnel.
