"Classic Brewers"

[Chinatown]

Was supposed to begin tonight @ 6:30 on FSN North. Direct Tv, Dish & Time Warner did not pick it up. I called a friend in Jefferson who has Charter Cable. They appear to be the only system that is showing it.   Ironically, the  Yahoo & Msn tv guides indicates them all showing it, but not their individual websites.

Very Strange.

 I  have already sent a scathing e mail to "D".

 Please take the time to relay your comments to your provider of choice, as the next installment is on Thursday.

I have pasted the release from the Brewers website.

Thanking you in advance.

What D* should do is get rid of FSN North and give us FSN Wisconsin.

use Wisconsin as an alternate with the Primary FSN North featuring Minnesota programming. Only TWC has a singular channel for FSN, and yet they failed to carry it?.  Looks like they could care less about the Milwaukee market & Brewer fans.................

Um. I'm confused. "Classic Brewers" was DEFINITELY on this evening on FSN North on TWC in the Milwaukee area. I watched about 10 minutes of it before moving onto something else. (And before you ask, yes, the TWC channel guide accurately listed it as well.)

subscriber. However, I did go to their website and checked the programming. It was not noted, nor are any of the 2 upcoming installments.  I did call them and was on hold for 20 minutes ( one of the many reasons I left them 5 years ago).........once they did pick up, they had no answer for the missing information.:confused:

Time Warner has absolutely nothing to do witha that. All of the television listing services in the country are run by third parties, such as "Tribune Media Services," "DecisionMark," and "TV Guide," of course.

What happens is that the different channels send their listings to these listing services, who publish them in different ways (such as web pages, like the one on Time Warner's website).

The problem MIGHT be that the announcement of "Brewers Classic" went out too late to be added to many of the listing services' program guides... hence, incorrect guide data. I notice that the press release went out on the 8th... which is well after the listings go out to the newspapers.

Best rule of thumb - never assume guide data is 100%, because it usually isn't. It's good, but not that good. Even if it's not listed in the guide data, check if it's on anyway.

The game was on Fox sports channel 31 last night.  I jumped between the Brewers and the Bucks on 24.
