AT&T, Verizon to get MSG HD

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/at...

Cablevision Systems Corp. unfairly withheld high-definition versions of professional sports broadcasts including Knicks basketball and Rangers hockey from AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc., the US said.

Madison Square Garden, a unit of Madison Square Garden Inc. that was spun off from Cablevision, must agree to license the MSG HD and MSG+ HD channels to AT&T and Verizon within 30 days, the Federal Communications Commission said in an order released yesterday.

AT&T had said it couldn’t get the HD broadcasts for its TV customers in Connecticut, and Verizon complained of a lack of access in New York and Buffalo, the FCC said.

I have Verizon. This was the only annoying thing about FIOS.

I have Uverse coming, but games will be blocked outside of NY metro market.

I have time warner and was getting league pass but it was not in HD.

Knicks were scheduled to be on national TV 29 times I thought I read so If Uverse does not have league pass (they did not) im sort of covered anyway.

Finally! Dolan's such a little shit. Glad the FCC finally got this in play.

I have TWC Wideband, but will now switch to FIOS since the only reason I didn't get it was lack of MSG-HD. Oh happy day.
