Statement from The MLB Network On Last Night’s Glitches

This just in from the MLB Network:

"MLB Network successfully launched on January 1 in approximately 50 million homes.  MLB Network is carried by most major cable and telco providers as well as DirecTV on digital basic or expanded basic.  As has been widely reported, MLB Network is not carried a specialized sports tier, but does require customers to subscribe to digital basic cable or the equivalent.  Fans can consult the channel locator on MLBNetwork.com to see where it is available in their zip code, and should call their cable, satellite or telco provider if they have further questions."

So according to MLB Network people who still subscribe to analog cable will not have access to the channel, it’s only available to subscribers to digital cable basic. If you have digital cable and still had trouble watching last night’s launch, let me know.
