According to news reports the Mets will remain on WPIX11.

Having both NY baseball teams games on one station is quite a feather in the hat for WPIX.

From the Seinfeld episode - The Pledge Drive -
"George: So, what do you think?

Mr. Morgan: A PBS fundraiser? I'm not gonna waste any of the players' time with that, besides the team already does so much promotion for channel eleven.

George: Channel eleven? Forgive me for trying to class up this place, for trying to have the Yankees reach another strata of society that might not watch channel eleven."

kindness?

it's money.

OTA stations want the prestige of airing games. And they think they can cross-promote other shows thus gaining viewers.

If it's not NYC it might as well be the boondocks.

Congratulations, you live in a city who's population is 1.5 Staten Islands. (Yes, I have made Staten Island a unit of messure). Or if you prefer, about 54% of a NYC public school system. (Yes, we have about twice as many kids in public school as you have people PERIOD.)


Also, would it have been so freaking hard to run some sort of search for Pix 11? Google, yahoo, what ever?

Ok the 24 hour city edges out the other cities which are 18-20 hour cities. That which makes NY unique is disappearing and other cities are catching up to the amenities. Back in the day it was a no-brainer that NY was the world's capital. Now, not so much.

They are building a condo skyscraper somewhere on midtown east.

Some condos going for $100 million. Mostly Chinese buyers.

NYC is still the place to be for some reason.

If I was in charge that condo would be forced to provide low-income units within the building, to promote diversity. I'm serious.

"NYC lost its mojo long ago"

Really?? How long ago? The kind of "mojo" that was here when Beame, Koch & Dinkins were the landlords? If thats the kind of mojo you speak of, than good riddance to that.

The kind of "mojo" when there were hookers workin Lex Ave. outside of GCT in broad daylight? Not to mention brothels masquerading as massage parlors.

The kind of "mojo' when there were 3 card monte setups all over town?

The kind of "mojo" when graffiti was considered art?

This town cleaned up its act. Back then in the "mojo" years it was dying a slow death. Still a tourist magnet, knocked down but got back up. No one with at least a minimal grip on sanity would want to go back to that.

Actually graffiti didn't become "art" until it was gone from the subways.

Some people miss how inviting NYC was to middle-class. Nedick's. Tad's Steak. Automat. Now it's Pret-A-Manger and coffee where Manhattan types loiter for hours on their laptops.

Oh please, just because one points to NYC as a banal soon to be generic place doesn't mean one wants to return to the "Taxi Driver" era.

The point is, the day of NYC as a city above all cities has gone, with NY becoming more generic and other cities catching up on amenities, and being more affordable to boot.

And as of a few years ago just as shitty as it's always been.

My dad liked that place. My earliest memories of Times Square (the "Taxi Driver" era) is of Tad's when it was in its former (70's) location.

Even in the eyes of a 6-7 year old, the people in there were among the most depressing I can remember.

You don't live in the Tri State area so you can't watch NY baseball teams unless you have one of those sport packages, or when play on national TV like ESPN or FOX or when they play the Orioles.

Or watch those choppy free streams online.


Whatever channel the CW Network is in Baltimore is "PIX 11".

In modern times, you really need cable to watch sports, XBMC and its apps, you'd be able to watch sports without cable.


There's also free streams, there too choppy with the NBA though, but they work good for Baseball and NFL Redzone.


I'm planning to watch the Royal Rumble tonight and I'm not gonna a pay a dime to watch it.
