We need to stop feeding into the stupid. These people can some how tweet, but not find a channel. Rating were also low because, why does MLB put it's biggest games on during the day, when people are at work.
There was talk about that last year but didn't happen. Poor ratings this year may really make it happen. One factor is that TBS is in about 11 million more homes than FS1 is in. A few of the tweets was they didn't get FS1. Fox may not have a choice in this.
As for your question about games on during the day- they have to. Like yesterday they had 2 games. They can't have a game at KC start up at 9pm or 930pm. Or today, they have 4 games. 2 games have to be during the day.

@richarddeitsch Took me till the 3rd inning to find it. FS1 is never on my radar
Micheline Maynard @MickiMaynard · 50m50 minutes ago
@richarddeitsch FS1 less widely available than other cablers. Also, rain delay (I gave up).

@richarddeitsch I don't get the channel... Pathetic for the playoffs.
Zingus Goloth @Txgonzo · 46m46 minutes ago
@richarddeitsch our basic cable at work doesn't get FS1 I guess it's premium. We had to listen on radio

@richarddeitsch i honestly didn't even know what network it was on. Checked MLB, TBS, Fox. Burying these games on FS1 is awful.
Kenneth Davis @dthova72 · 51m51 minutes ago
@richarddeitsch It shouldn't be on FS1...TBS or FOX!!!!
Mike Harrington @BNHarrington · 53m53 minutes ago
@eboland11 @richarddeitsch Nobody can find the channel is a big factor IMO.
Yeah, I wonder if MLB after this year may force Fox's hands on this. Between the unappealing teams and this, could be a perfect storm....

On Directv it's near all the ESPN and sports networks, on comcast it's near ESPNU, ESPN classic, NBA TV, CBS sports net, NFL network, MLB network, etc. You don't have to pay extra to get it on either. If you really wanted to watch something in this day and age it's beyond easy to find out what and where that network is that is showing it.
Don't some systems still have it on a sports tier instead of the regular tier though?

The big 2, Directv and Comcast both have FS1 on their regular tier, not sure about other systems. Wouldn't surprise me if a couple of the smaller systems put it on their sports tier or charged extra for it. That's all the more reason for Fox to dig their heels in and keep LDS series on FS1, have premium content on FS1 and force those smaller systems into putting it on their regular tier. Fox paid good money for the rights and can broadcast it on whichever of their networks they choose, MLB can go count their money for all FOX cares. This is the very reason to buy and place premium content on FS1, to grow that network.

FS1 is in 90 million homes so its not like nobody has it. Starting to notice more carriers are adding FS2 which is a great sign.
