We’ve been over how the Bay Area doesn’t get Comcast SportsNet California (sometimes called “West” or sometimes “Sacramento” and not to be confused with Comcast SportsNet Bay Area) but that’s where the bottom end Cal football games end up. To get the came you’ve got to buy a sports package through your cable provider.

I don’t have this problem up in Sacramento as I get both Comcast SportsNet California and Bay Area on DirecTV as part of my base package in the Sacramento region.

In any case, according to Jonathan Okanes, Comcast cable viewers in the Bay Area are getting a reprieve and will now get both Comcast SportsNet Bay Area AND California in their base package.

One can hope that it’ll free up DirecTV to follow suit in the Bay Area.
