With the creation of the three new MSG Metro channels, Cablevision decided to place some of these "overflow" games on MetroGuide. These games were only available to subscribers who had the MetroChannels on their cable system, causing an uproar among area sports fans. Outside of Cablevision, few cable systems carried the Metro channels, since Cablevision would only sell all 3 channels together as a package. In addition, the programming on the MetroChannels was very Manhattan-specific and carried content thought to be of little interest to people who lived outside of the local New York City area. Satellite providers DirecTV and Dish Network did not carry Metro, and therefore, could not show every game of every local NY area team. Time Warner Cable did reach a deal with Cablevision, but Comcast did not. The end result was that a large percentage of households, mostly in New Jersey, were unable to watch the sporting events being broadcast on this channel.
