Re: The cost

The package will automatically renew at the early bird rate each year unless
you call and tell them to stop. And yes you typically get the full broadcast
commercials and all. I know some teams Portland comes to mind. has a pay per
view deal for their home market so they are commercial free. For the most
part though it is usually one of the local channels or the local fox sports
affiliate carrying the game. You will occasionally have to watch a Celtics
game and have to put up with the other teams announcers. If the celts are
winning it's not too bad but if they're losing it's forced me to watch the
game with the sound off.
