Dodgers SportsNet LA Channel 690

Hello, I am curious if Spectrum SportsNet LA is available on channel 690 in zipcode 93720 which is located within Fresno County? I currently receive the LA Lakers Spectrum SportsNet but cannot seem to find an answer on the AT&T website on this.

Per the spectrum SportsNet website it says “ A full list of CA counties that can receive the networks is as follows: Fresno, Kern, Kings, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Tulare and Ventura.” https://www.sportsnetla.com/faq

Any help regarding this question would be appreciated.

We can look into this for you, @Fresnoguy559.

 

Will you please provide some clarity on your question for us?

You said the Spectrum SportsNet website says your county is included in the group of counties that receive the Spectrum SportsNet LA channel, correct?

Are you trying to confirm the channel number, or are you trying to make sure that it's actually available?

Thank you for responding.

I had looked at the list below as the previous poster mentioned. I think that I should also be getting channel 690. Channel 691 spectrum SportsNet I do receive which is the LA Lakers Channel however I do not receive the new channel 690 which is the LA Dodgers channel. Maybe ATT missed it by mistake as it was added less than two weeks ago? 93720 is in the actual city of Fresno within Fresno county so not sure why I am not see it on the list and not getting it as spectrum says it should be available in Fresno county in the local market.

I also checked my friends zipcode in Los Angels county and channel 690 shows up on that list on direct tv’s website.

Well the RSN and MLB set the viewing market lines. It might come down to that your zip may be on the wrong side. But as it was only recently added to DirecTV, I would check with the RSN to see if you are in-market or not to be sure. If you are then they need to fix the authorization with DirecTV.

Looks like zip 93720 gets Spectrum SportsNet channel 691 but not 690.

(Have to use mouse to click and drag down selecting text to see the rest of the list, as the page is poorly formatted so with areas like yours with a lot of RSNs, some of them get cut off).

what tv package do you have? I have entertainment package and I have 691 but not the new channel 690. I think only people who pay the Regional Sports fee (Choice package and above) get channel 690. Its weird, that you get one but not the other.

Hello,

I have the choice package and pay the regional sports fee every month. Just not sure why the website says Fresno County and I’m in a zipcode in the city of Fresno and don’t receive it. The zipcode maybe has close to 100k people in it too if not more. I have received the Lakers channel on 691 perfectly fine.

Out of curiosity I also checked areas within the county where spectrum Is the actual cable service provider in Fresno County such as 93646 and direct tv doesn’t carry 690 just 691 but Spectrum has both the channels in their line up. (Channel 95 is Channel 690)

If you are in Entertainment, then you should not be getting any RSNs. They are in Choice and above.

However if you have the Sports Pack add on, though that gives you over 35 RSN and specialty sports networks (sometimes a cheaper way to get your RSNs then raising to Choice), it does not include SportsNet LA at this time. So though they have come to DirecTV, they are still being a bit restrictive.

Hey @Fresnoguy559,

We understand your concern with not having a channel that you feel you should have. Don't worry we can help explain.

When it comes to channels provided by other service providers its up to them to show what content is to be viewed. That's why you may notice certain area codes are able to get the channel and some cant being that you're not actually with that provider.

Charles...that would be ZIP code (address), not AREA code (phone number).

You get channel 690 when you get extra innings and also several other sports channels. I live in Fresno California.
