Why do sports teams or broadcasters have blackouts blocking tv viewing?

945 viewsOther

I’m 5.5 hours away from the closest team and any home game gets blocked. What’s the point of that? Not only is there 0 chance I’m driving there and back for a game but now I’m not even interested in watching the game or buying gear. Care to explain?

The theory is that enough people will be convinced to go to the game that it’s a net positive.
