A: You may be tuned to a sports channel that does not show programming all the time or it has a temporary blackout for that specific time.

In broadcasting, a blackout is when certain programming, usually sports, cannot be televised in certain areas. The blackouts are local restrictions enforced by the major league sports organizations to protect the local teams' broadcast rights.

National broadcasters like ESPN have exclusive distribution rights to some events. Sports blackouts and game availability are controlled by the leagues, associations and broadcasters that purchase the rights to broadcast individual games. To protect their rights, blackouts must be put in place to enforce the restrictions mandated by them. This enforcement applies to Major League Baseball (MLB), Canadian Football League (CFL), National Football League (NFL) and National Hockey League (NHL). E.g., Sportsnet owns the regional broadcast rights for the Canucks, Oilers, Flames and Senators regional games and may only broadcast these regional games into each team's respective regional territory.
