RE: Globe: Curt Gowdy ESPN gig blacked out here

I thought that the Wednesday Night games had ESPN getting the national
rights superceeding the local broadcast (subject only to "sellout"
blackout).

Whereas the Monday broadcast did NOT have the 'national' moniker and
therefore could be blacked out.
