Brewers Classics / DirecTV

[honuswagner21]

This question is directed to any Directv users. I am new to Directv and I was wondering if they ever show any of the Brewers Classics or any of Winter Warm Up. I didn't see the Warm Up and I think I remember hearing that the only thing that FSN Wisconsin shows on Directv are the games themselves. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

The Winter Warm Up was on Directv (I still have it DVR'd).

 

I can't answer on the Classics as I haven't had Directv long enough. I'm sure somebody else will help out.

this will totally depend on where you live. If you live in Wisconsin (for the most part) you will get it on FSN-Wisconsin.

 

If you are out of state/market like I am in Arizona, I only get the games and pre-/post-game shows. That's it. It blows. Especially since I get all the programming for FSN-North (Minnesota) as well as all the other regional FSN stuff.

 

I am hoping that this is finally the year that they will put FSN-WI as a full-time channel, but I'm not counting on it.

The funny thing, though, is that as recently (& perhaps this is still how it is) as last year in Madison - as mentioned - the FSN-WI ran like watching it on Extra Innings - just the game, no post-game stuff, and no pre-game prior to 1:00p or 7p or whatever the 'official' start time was.

I have also heard this about the pre and post game stuff and that they didn't show that last season. But, FSN Wisconsin has been showing all of the Bucks pre and post game shows on Directv so I am holding out hope that they do likewise for the Brewers. FWIW, I am located in Milwaukee so FSN Wisconsin is for sure my local carrier.

With a lot of pushing from FSN-WI, DirecTV managed to show exactly two Brewers Classics broadcasts last season. They're just not very likely to show anything that isn't related to a live game, though.

 

They've been showing pre and post-game broadcasts for the past few seasons.
