Sox network still way late with legal ID break

[John Francini]

Interestingly, I've noted that when watching any of those "out-of- 
market" sports channels on Comcast (if you buy the MLB Extra Innings,  
NHL Season Ticket, etc.) you get all the local (regional) ads as  
well.  It's fascinating to see ads for other parts of the US and/or  
Canada...
