NOTE FROM THE FORUM OWNER:

We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance.

Open Mike poll: How do you feel about the Magic TV situation?

Currently, 84.5% of Magic fans have chosen the "Outraged" option (no big surprise).

Here is part of the acompanying article:

Just curious.

Are you outraged?

Are you beside yourself with anger?

Open Mike poll: How do you feel about the Magic TV situation? Vote
Start of Orlando Magic season might be nearly invisible on TV
Open Mike: Mike Bianchi's brand-new blog

Do you think the Declaration of Independence needs to be rewritten to say, "All men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, and that among these are Life, Liberty and every Orlando Magic game -- home and away -- on expanded basic cable?"

Like I said, I'm curious. That's why I'm conducting my very first Internet poll in connection with my new blog -- the cleverly conceived, double-entendre "Open Mike" -- on OrlandoSentinel.com. After you finish reading this column, please go to OrlandoSentinel.com/openmike, and vote on the poll question.

The question concerns the stalemate regarding Bright House Networks (our main cable provider) and Fox Sports Net, which is not part of our cable package even though the network will carry 35 Magic games this season. What I want to know is this: If those 35 Magic games aren't on cable TV, would you, as a Magic fan, be (A) Outraged, (B) Mildly annoyed or, © Couldn't care less?

I have to tell you, I'm torn on this topic.

One of the things I was looking forward to after graduating from college and moving back to the Orlando area was being able to watch all of the Magic games again. Looks like that might not happen. I still don't understand why the Tampa and Tallahassee markets get FSN, while the Orlando market might not. But whatever, right now I'm down with B&B's idea - INTERNET PARTY!

I have DirectTV, so it is not a problem with me. Maybe this is a ploy to get more people to the games.

i like how bianchi basically said in his article that most magic fans could care less about half the games not being on cable and check out the results of his poll

it just speaks more to how uninformed and stupid the magic bandwagoner bianchi is
