I definately believe that the East Coast teams get more coverage, but I also believe that there is a reason for that, they sell. Yeah we don't care in Chicago, but in terms of merchandise, ticket sales, etc, the Yankees and Red Sox are always at the top of the list.
Yeah, that's true. I guess they are running a business, but I doubt showing less Red Sox and Yankees games on TV would lose them that much money. I mean, people that like them already like them, so why not try to open up coverage for other teams. I'm not saying they have to show a Royals-Padres game, but at least show more big time games from other teams. I guarantee their ratings wouldn't suffer much, if at all.
