Rays OTA

[Don]

Will the Rays be OTA this year?

They are going all the way again baby!

There were 90% of the time last year on channel 66 WPAX.. But I heard or read somewhere that they are moving to a different distributor.. perhaps someone else can chime in about this..

Aren't the Rays going all regional sports network and no OTA at all this year?

The Rays website still shows WXPX (channel 66) as the OTA anchor station, along with what seems to be an increased number of affiliate stations. Their radio network also seems to have more stations than previously. I guess winning a league championship does that. Note: They do have a new radio anchor, WDAE 620, but that's still part of the Clear Channel conglomerate that owns WHNZ and several other radio stations in Tampa.

I understand that FSN will be the only network telecasting the Rays this year

:(

I just decided to dump my cable and go just OTA with a Media Center PC. Hope I don't regret it.

Maybe I can stream the games over the internet. Any ideas?

I'm all OTA with Media Center now myself, but luckily not a Baseball fan.

That is one nice thing about the NFL, all the Bucs games are guaranteed to be available via OTA.
