The most amusing thing to me this week is Alaska's FOX map. The central and northern regions get MIN/BUF, while the more populated areas in the south get NO/CAR. Wassup wit dat?

These are becoming my favorite threads for how interesting the TV coverage is!

What is the deal with Oakland/Cleveland in Northern Kansas and Jax/Oak in Oklahoma and Arkansas? I am stumped on those two.

[JeeberD]

Most of New England gets Dallas-Tenn instead of Minn-Buf? Odd...

[Mr. Wednesday]

Dallas getting SD-BAL instead of MIA-HOU... Utah getting IND-NYJ instead of SD-BAL...

[JAG]

The FOX map is pretty. Gotta love STL-DET in the southern tip of Florida.

I have no idea about Kansas, but Matt Jones plays for the Jags, so that might explain Arkansas.

Freakin Fox in Austin dumped the Texans game last week because they figured ratings would be lousy. Gotta love it that the Texans get no love... :D

[Pumpy Tudors]

I've got a tough choice for early games. I'd love to see SD/BAL because I think this is a great matchup. I also want to see if the Saints can stay undefeated, though, and that's the other game I'll get. My late game is NE/CIN, and I have to admit that I'm tired of the Patriots. It's not that I see them every week or anything, but I'm really just tired of seeing them. I acknowledge that they've been an excellent football team for the past few years, and that's why they get so much airtime, but I don't really like the AFC East, and the Patriots are the AFC East. They'll be airing here because of the Bengals, so I can deal with it, but if they were playing the Browns or Titans or another AFC East team, I think I'd just turn the TV off. Gah.

What does the white space mean again?

[bosshogg23]

That you should move ;)

[Pumpy Tudors]

What does the white space mean again?
It means no game.

[stevew]

It means no game.

No game specifically because the other network has exclusivity in that market at that time.

[Butter]

New Orleans / Carolina here in Dayton? Figured us for MIN/BUF or at least DET/STL.

Well, we know this guy does.

One probably gets a local Fox broadcast affiliate, and the other gets a cable only type fox over cable.

[Mr. Wednesday]

No game specifically because the other network has exclusivity in that market at that time.
Specifically, CBS has the doubleheader, and those are the "local" markets for the home teams in the Fox games.

Way to go CBS, give me Miami and Houston. :(

[tdydynasty]

Houston, TX can't receive Cowboys game due to the Texans playing a 1pm home game. I guess people will go to bars to see the Cowboys. It would be like blacking out the Texas Longhorns in Houston because the Rice Owls have a home game at the same time the Longhorns are playing. If you were born in Houston, what team you want to play for, Texans or Cowboys the choice is easy to me.

Carr, Culpepper. Do you like field goals? It's the NFL on CBS!

[ahbrady]

I don't know about Kansas either, but you're dead on about Arkansas. I'm actually surprised that the whole state isn't getting the Jaguar game. Last year, the entire state got all of the Jags' games or at least a huge majority.

[molson]

The Vikings' "region" seems to be the biggest in the NFL. NO/Carolina is the "national" Fox 1PM game, but 10 states around MN get Vikings/Buffalo instead.

[tdydynasty]

MIN-BUF in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska really puzzles me should have gotten the number 1 game.

If you like DXing the FOX map is right for you. Some states have 3 games including VA.

NO-CAR (WEMT Tri-Cities-serves western Virginia, WGHP Greensboro-serves Patrick County, WRAZ Raleigh-serves Mecklenburg County, WAHU Charlottesville)
ARI-ATL (WWCW Roanoke-Lynchburg, WRLH Richmond)
DAL-TN (WTTG Washington, WVBT Norfolk)

Charlottesville is the best place to get the 3 games from DXing.

[saldana]

wow...there are a LOT of shitty games this weekend....my remote will most likely get the day off, as this may be the first time in a long time that i am not surfing back and forth between a bunch of games. there is really never more than one game at a time that i care to watch

[saldana]

dola, anyone know why all the fox games are in HD but only half of the CBS ones are? SD v BAL isnt, which is pretty disappointing since it was going to be my primary choice for that time slot

CBS has tecnological issues that they can only distribute three games each weekend. They will be ramping up with all games done in HD by 2009.

[sterlingice]

I know it has more to do with when each other have games but I love that Houston refuses to watch Dallas and Dallas refuses to watch Houston.
