SportsNet New York reached a carriage agreement with DirecTV late Monday afternoon, too late for customers of the area's largest satellite TV company to see the Mets' opener on the team's new regional sports network but in time for their next game – Wednesday night against the Nationals.
Officials had expressed optimism for weeks that a deal would be reached in time for Opening Day, but talks dragged on slightly longer than expected, frustrating thousands of fans. DirecTV has about 1 million customers in the metropolitan area.
Dish Network, the other major satellite service, has not reached an agreement with SNY. |
Channel 626 has been changed to Upcoming: Nationals @ Mets. Still pissed off I didn't get today's game.
