Back in the early 60s my home town was a test community for cable. Because of the bluffs you could barely , fuzzily, get one channel. So, we had cable in order to get the channels out of the Twin Cities. I think we had cable with a total of 7 channels

Let's see how many i can name...

2 (KTTC? PBS), 

4 (WCCO, CBS)

5 (KSTP NBC)

9 (? Independent)

11 (? ABC)

Yep. I think there might have been a 2nd independent. Can’t remember the one Casey Jones was on. Thought 11, that being the independent and 9 being ABC? and for some reason I think there was a 13? Later on I remember a ch. 23. Too long ago

Circusboy Score Update for those of you who haven't yet figured out where the broadcast is hiding on your chosen tv service:

 

Still scoreless.

Okay … just did a google and came up with this …

WCCO, ch4 (CBS)

KSTP, ch5 (NBC)

WTCN, ch11 (ind.)

KTCA, ch2 (PBS)

KTCI, ch17 (PBS? Out of WI maybe?)

Not sure when and where ABC came in but they must’ve been ch7

Yes, 11 was WTCN, had the Twins and the Mel Jass matinee movies.

ABC was channel 9. All of them with antennas atop the Foshay Tower, if I recall.

I mean, maybe? I always suspected Bader would play quite a bit but not to the "everyday player" level. Like 350-400 PA territory.

Would he be in the lineup if both/either Lewis and Lee were healthy? Dunno, but I suspect not.

I sure hope not.  I want Larnach and Wallner to get 500 PA's if healthy.  If also like to see Miranda get some extended at bats.  That would mean spending some time at the DH.  Just my hopes, I want to see what these guys can do for a full season.

Twins.tv is throwing all sorts of errors for me, anyone else getting that? Is this just a by product of the rain delay or do I need to go through support

[Parfigliano]

Rain.  Time for plan B Mets baseball.

Between Buxton being an injury in waiting and the other two outfielders being LHB, I struggle to see how Bader gets fewer than 300 PAs even in a strict platoon.

We need to be saying our nightly prayers that Buck doesn't get seriously injured at all this year.  140 - 150 games out of Buck and the Twins are probably sitting at the top of the division at the end of the season!

[Mike Sixel]

an injury prone team playing on wet grass, what could go wrong?

[USAFChief]

Twins tv won't load for me either. I assume it's the rain

[Craig Arko]

Watching 4 split screens worth of other games. Has there been any mention of when the rain is supposed to end?

My Mom was a fan. I mostly remember switching away to watch Dark Shadows in the afternoon.

Channel 9 is KMSP.  I also remember it as being an ABC affiliate for a period of time.  I'm also pretty sure WTCN (Ch. 11) was an independent when Casey Jones was being broadcasted.

Just took a glance around X and down detector, looks like MLB TV in general is on fire and no one is having a good time, so benefit of the rain delay for Twins fans I guess?

[Vanimal46]

1st plate appearance for Trout and he gets plunked in the hand. Can’t make it up!

I remember watching Popeye and the Rocky and Bullwinkle show on KMSP when I was a little kid!!  🤣

My mlb.tv app says that this is subject to a blackout, even though I have twins.tv

I'm getting Twins.TV just fine via DIRECTV (the satellite dish form).  However, in light of the rain delay, they're playing some live look-ins on other games right now.

I can get the Twins on mlbtv on mlb.com to work (it just shows rain delay screen), and I can watch the four game thing on MLB TV app on roku (but I get a network error when I try to watch the Twins)
