How does the "local blackouts" work? I live 250+ miles from Wrigley Field and yet my home team is listed as the Cubs/White Sox/Reds for blackout purposes. I'm looking at the TV schedule and it seems that quite a few (a majority even) of the Cubs games are going to broadcast on CSN Chicago, it looks like many of the games against the Reds will be on Fox Sports Ohio, and many of the games out west will be broadcast on Fox Sports West.

I have zero of these channels in my lineup due to my location. I get alternate versions of them instead. Will these games on these networks be blacked out on the extra innings service? I've got the top sports package offered to me and the Cubs set up to a series recording and it looks like I will get about 1-3 games a week at the start of the season. Basically if they are on WGN, ESPN, or MLB Network I get the game. If they play on anything else I'm SOL. Would this fill in that blank or would I get the big black out?
