Barry I agree, it was difficult even in the Mountain zone to stay awake for the whole game. The schedule seems to be governed by the desire to show the most popular teams (Red Sox, Yankees) in prime time. But maybe, as someone suggested earlier, if the networks would take a longer term view and promote some of the lesser-known teams during the season, these teams would develop more of a national fan base, and the coverage could be more equitably distributed in the future. But they probably have their marketing studies that convince them that would not be the case. Anyhow, here in Colorado we get good local coverage (Fox Sports Network, radio) of the regular season Rockies games so at least we get to see or hear them that way.
