These games that are showing on KDFI are not showing up on my tv anymore. I live in Amarillo and for some reason dish network is showing the Royals at the Rangers on ch.444 as a sports alternate channel but when I click on that station it says this program is not available for viewing in your area.
I live in Amarillo, Texas for cripes sake! I pay for the extended sports package and this is how the Rangers or KDFI treats me??? I have been on the phone several times with dish network and they have no explanation...I had all the games last year and this year it is like pulling teeth to catch a Rangers game. I got the Houston Astros on 3 seperate channels but no Texas Rangers game. This is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!
