YES Network - My new favorite channel

[kylehess10]

If you're from New York then you know what it is, but for the others you probably don't. It's definitely the channel I've always dreamed of. 24/7 baseball and most-importantly shows involving game used. Today there was a show about how they make Jeter's jersey, and Majestic said they make about 2 dozen for him each year (though I'm sure he doesn't wear anything close to that); and then tomorrow they're showing how they authenticate everything after each Yankees game. If only they had this channel available everywhere, I'm sure everybody on this forum would enjoy. I also love the classic games they show everyday, and the repeats of every game every night for those who miss it.

Kyle,
Tell us about your N.Y. trip. I would think the YES network is available outside of the N.Y. area the way,WTBS(Braves) and WGN(Cubs) is available outside of their areas,for some cable subscribers.

The YES channel is available on DirecTV on channel 622 if you buy the regional sports package!

However, any sporting events they televise on the sports package is subject to blackout like baseball games, college football games, etc. so then you have to subscribe to the DirecTV MLB package so you can watch the blacked out games from YES on the designated baseball channel which show up on channel 722-749.

The one thing I like about YES is the Yankees games in HD have amazing picture quality.

The one thing I don't like is all the channels are expensive! Is YES free to your NY residents?

YES is great! It's not 24/7 baseball, they show other sports-Nets, Ivy League football, etc. I like Yankeeography, and Centerstage too, the show where Michael Kay interviews all sorts of celebrities. And Kyle, I think the show you were referring to w/ the game-used items is called "Steiner Memories of the Game." I enjoy watching that show too, they show some cool game used stuff from Steiner. It's funny when Brandon Steiner is on and gives estimates of what things are worth, b/c they are always so high. Like one time I think he said a baseball card signed by A-Rod is worth $500. Sure. The show is just one huge advertisement for Steiner. Does anyone remember the show on YES called, "What's it Worth?" I liked that show better than the Steiner show. People would bring in their collectibles (a lot of game used stuff) and get them appraised.
