Not really, as they have blackout restrictions on local games (which are aired on local tv networks generally). Baseball attendances generally aren't that high though, as you'd expect from a game where you have 81 home games a year, many during the day on weekdays. Not convinced attendances are hugely influenced by games being on tv anyway tbh, it's not like no one turns up to the PL games that are shown on tv
That isn't the reason they give though. The reason they give is that showing 3pm kick offs on TV would effect the lower league attendances. I.e If City and United played and both were on TV, it could effect Altrincham, Bury's attendance for example - I'm not sure it would, though. One way to find out......
