Many Royals fans hoping to watch next week’s home opener against the Yankees at the renovated Kauffman Stadium should plan on being in Kansas City in person, or watching somewhere with satellite television.
A spokesman with Fox Sports Kansas City, which originates all Royals’ telecasts, said the April 10 Royals home opener is currently one of 40 games that will not be carried on Cox Cable, the cable TV provider for Topeka and much of Kansas.
Geoff Goldman, the Fox-KC spokesman, said negotiations with Cox were ongoing, and he remained hopeful that the cable company would ultimately agree to purchase all 140 available games.
“At this point, though, Cox subscribers are scheduled to see 100 of the 140 Royals games televised, and the home opener in not among those games,’’ Goldman said.
C'mon Cox. Do the right thing. The Royals should be worth watching this year. Give your customers as many of the games as are available.
