Local broadcasts of Sixers games on TV

If the NHL lockout cancels some regular season games this season, I hope that CSN will use common sense and air the regular season local broadcasts of Sixers games on CSN and not put some of them on TCN Philly, since TCN is not widely available in the region.

TCN IS widely available in this region. It is on ALL Xfinity systems in the area in SD AND HD. It is also available on Verizon FiOS (only in SD on Channel 99). What are you smoking?

I don't think that RCN customers have TCN AFAIK.

What % of cable customers in this region have cable other than Comcast or Verizon? What is RCN's footprint in this region? Isn't T/W gone from this area in a trade with Comcast? What is you definition of not widely available in terms of percentage? 5%? 10%? 15%? 20%? Won't you be listening on WPEN? Don't you think that TCN is only used for overflow? Do you think Comcast will put a game on the overflow channel while putting nothing on CSN? Isn't TCN only used when 2 or 3 of the teams are playing at the same time?

Think and then answer some of these questions!

I suspect that is what will occur, since I would think the only Sixers games on TCN are those in conflict with Flyers' games.
 
TCN Philly will be airing live Sixers games

Despite the Flyers not playing right now, TCN Philly will be airing live broadcast of sixers games this season. 3 of them this month: http://www.nba.com/sixers/schedule Don't understand why they are airing the games on TCN where they should be airing on CSN instead, since the flyers are not playing. Puzzled by that.
