No more Stanley Cup shutouts for Bruins fans without cable TV service



Like the Chicago Blackhawks, thousands of Boston area residents who don’t subscribe to a cable television service were also shut out of Monday night’s Stanley Cup Finals game.


WHDH Channel 7 broadcast games two and three though a feed from NBC Sports Network, a channel available only through a cable or satellite subscription. Viewers without those services saw NBC’s regular programming Monday. But for the rest of the series, the games will be shown on NBC, which can be picked up without cable service.


“If you’re in Boston, and you turn your TV to Channel 7, you will be able to see it,” said Jake Wright , who works on WHDH’s assignment desk.


Game 4 is scheduled for Wednesday night in Boston, with the Bruins leading the series 2-1.
