Need a poster who has Spectrum cable in St. Louis for info

[ramfandan]

I have an elderly friend in west county who has Spectrum cable . Since I live out of state, I could not answer this Cardinal TV question.

He was reading about the $99.99 Cardinal TV thing and called his cable company there about signing up.
He told me that they told him he would be getting all the Cardinals games (with exception of 10 ) and the spring training games on his Channel 6 with Spectrum.

Checking to make sure this is correct and that he will be getting all the games (minus the 10 ) without adding any subscription So I told him I would check on the forum .

Anyone with spectrum that can help me out ?
Appreciate the help.. Thank you ! Ramfandan

Not personally a spectrum customer, but I’d guess he misheard. Everything I’ve seen says they will only carry 10 games (not all but 10 games).

I think your friend is incorrect.

As long as he subscribes to the TV Select Plus tier package, then he'll get the Cardinals games.

But

The TV Select Signature or Stream level does not.

6 is Matrix Midwest - fingers crossed!

So Spectrum will broadcast a FanDuel…..Foxsports Midwest like coverage on one of their cable channels? But we don’t know which channel that is currently?

Your guess is as good as mine GF

I dropped them recently and went to a DirectTV package + Cardinals.TV

Weeks away from Cards opening day and this org……whose only mandate is to provide an entertainment product for its customers….can’t provide clear instructions how to view its product in the home market. Truly amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a more complete clusterphuck stewardship of any business like the BDW ST. Louis Cardinals. They had a rabid captured fanbase and have almost completely destroyed it.

It’s a total mess. I was told by Spectrum could pay extra for Fan Dual but the Cards are no longer on Fan Dual right?
Also trying to sign up for MLB tv and now have to go thru ESPN and sign up for ESPN unlimited for $26 per month!in addition to the mlb package!!

What’s not clear? The games will be on MLB TV

I just plan to illegally stream games

They need to make their own tv station, that seems to me like the logical solution

If views go down this year they need to blame it on this new setup

So there’s no cable channel option(like FanDuel), only 10 games on Ch4 locally, and the only option is to buy an APP subscription?
We’ve gotten to the point where The only way to see Cards Baseball in 2026 is Streaming…..
How many older folks do you know use Streaming as a TV option. The most loyal and diehard fans BDW has is 75+ crowd

It's ownership that is responsible for the tv deal - not the GM or president of baseball operations. This is not a good look for DeWitt JR or III that this close to the season the tv situation is a mess. They had 3 months to fix it.

I’ll just tell my 90+yr old aunts and grandmother they’ll need to download the MLB TV app thru the ESPN app on the smart TV they don’t have

[bfib]

Well then they won’t watch. I’m not sure what else to say. The Cards TV partner went out of business because they were paying way too much for the rights. Now MLB had to step in and take control of the rights and put them on their platform.

If you want to watch you’re just going to have to figure it out

I worked for Spectrum on the west coast until a few years ago. The problem with calling in, is that the call centers have a very generic understanding of localized packages because they very heavily not only by state, but by region as well. So Hopefully you find someone here that can offer some insight because calling in will get you absolutely nowhere. If he's able to go into the store, that would be the most accurate information. Just have him go online and schedule an appointment at the store location, or he could be waiting a couple hours in there.
