The reason they 'don't know' which games will be blacked out is because it's based on the ticket sales in the home market.
If they don't sell enough tickets in the local market then the game is blacked out for that area. The bottom line is, that if your local team is in a slump, most of your games will be blacked out, unless your local fan base is just nuts for the team.
