Q: What does it mean if a game is blacked out on ESPN GamePlan? A: The term “Blackout” refers to the non-airing of a television program in a certain market. In the world of sports, sports channels must follow “blackout rules” and refrain from airing certain games. A “Blackout” occurs when a game is televised locally in a subscriber’s area via a regional sports network, an over-the-air station or when televised nationally. To avoid competition with the regional sports, over-the-air, or national station the sports channel will “blackout” instead of televising the game. If you tune into a subscription sports channel during a blackout, you may see a black screen or an error message. If a game is blacked out on a sports channel, you can view the channels simply by switching to the designated local or national channel airing the game, if available.
