Mediacom to air 140 Royals games across Iowa

In what came as a surprise to this Royals Fan, Fox Sports Midwest today announced that all 140 games that will be televised by FS Kansas City will be seen across Iowa on Mediacom & Dish Network (Royals games are already available across Iowa on DirecTV).  In previous years, only between 40-50 Royals games were shown on Mediacom cable, Iowa's biggest cable provider.

According to a press release from FS Midwest, on Mediacom Cable, 26 Royals games will be televised on FS Midwest with the remaining schedule to be seen on alternate channels, including the Mediacom Connections Channel. Dish Network will televise the 140 game package on various alternate channels that vary from day to day and on DirecTV, all Royals games will be shown on channel 672.

Fox Sports Kansas City, a subchannel of Fox Sports Midwest, is scheduled to televise 140 games in 2011 with the majority of weekday and weekend games in September not being televised.
