The problem here was MLB having to cater to FOX. FOX knows if you had say had the game at 6:40 to best assure those riding Metro of getting home, FOX would have had to deal with both advertiser make goods from ads not seen by viewers in LA who would have been still at work at first pitch as well as execs on the west coast who would see a mass exodus of people leaving work early (or threatening to) and screaming at FOX and MLB it's not fair to them (and it appears on stuff like this, networks are more inclined to listen to people in LA than New York). |
