The big fuckup is the MLB.TV blackout rules. In NC I am blacked out from Nationals and Orioles, which is a joke because any non-transplants are Braves fans. But I can watch Cubs games while my dad cannot.
I think there was a time when North Carolina was strong Orioles country, with Orioles farm teams in Charlotte and possibly elsewhere as well. But the deal MLB made with the Nats and Orioles when the Expos moved is that both teams get to have the same territory just like the Cubs and Sox, so now the Nats get to claim the whole state for no clear reason, even though it appears that the fandom is pretty much limited to DC and Northern Virginia. The Braves have always claimed North Carolina as one of their six states (AL, MS, GA, TN, NC, SC), but I don't think the TV maps agree.
I think Asheville is considered Cincinnati territory, oddly enough.
