The same thing used to happen with FOX back when they did virtually all of the mlb postseason games. In October for a couple of weeks, FOX only had early NFL games to show the postseason games in the afternoon.

But now that TBS and MLBN does most of the games, Fox only has the NLCS and World Series to show. Most are shown in prime time anyway, but in week 7 if you notice there are no late FOX games, which coincide with game 6 of the NLCS on FOX.

Right....so for example that week if your in buffalo wouldnt you get lets just say dal/car 1:00 even though bills are home because fox needs to have 1 game.

So you could say that evens off the week 1 deal.

there is no 'evening out' - different markets are affected.

Well, that is what you get when you have 2 pro fanchises in the same market. I am sure within each of their contracts, the NY Giants and NY Jets stipulate that there can be no game aired against them in the same market. Nor can they both be playing at the same time(1:00pm or 4:20pm on Sundays). This is the unfortunate downside too having two pro NFL teams in your market.

They do the same thing out here with the Steelers, of course. If the Steelers are on CBS or FOX, believe me, there is no game on the opposite channel at the same time. But since we do not have 2 NFL teams in the same TV area, we get all of the Nationally televised games, which have a "tendency"(not always), too show up at 4:20pm on the channel who has the doubleheader that week.

You are stuck with the Jets and Giants period on alot of weekends. And if you do not like those teams, living in the Tri-state area, hopefully you live close enough too Philly, so you can get an extra game.

The rule is you cant have a game on the other network against the local team if they are home....if they are on the road then you can.

As a resident of the New Orleans area, I can assure you that the fact that another game is on another network at the same time as the local Saints broadcast will only cause a .000000001% change in the total number of viewers of the Saints broadcast.

The new studio for Fox looks pretty good. Glad they finally decided to update that stage to HD.

Individual NFL teams do not and cannot negotiate regular/post season TV contracts. The teams only have control over their preseason TV coverage.

On Fox, I'm finding the bottom score bar showing other game scores rather obnoxious. That big block of navy blue against the green grass doesn't look right. The scores and quarter aren't synced when they scroll vertically. And then there's a huge waste of space at the bottom with a solid blue tint below it. And the whole thing turns red with Score Alert when another team scores. rolleyes.gif

The CBS bottom line isn't as obnoxious but it's got the useless gray tint below it.

Not sure where to post this, but is anyone else have problems with the Falcons/Chiefs game on D*TV? The video is very choppy and has dropped out a couple times. I'm not having problems on any other channel and the commercials seem to be fine.

I've had several dropouts with the Redskins/Saints game on Fox OTA. One even briefly went to a static Fox logo. Maybe its a Fox thing.

Watching Fox on Brighthouse channel 1035 and got the same thing. Also CBS channel 1060 has been cutting in and out as well during halftime.

Doesn't sound like a DirecTV problem. Nothing they can do, they just told you that to get you off the phone.

Something's definitely going on at your affiliate. My local affiliate (WJBK Detroit) and the NFL RedZone channel are showing the game in HD.

I had it occur here (in the local area for the game) OTA as well.

Hmm... Appear to be having issues with the pre-game on NBC right now, as well. I know its not my affiliate, because even when the video cuts out, the crawl at the bottom of the screen keeps on truckin. That's gotta be an issue with the feed from the stadium, no other way to explain it.

The mic on the Broncos center (?) sounds like nothing but static. Annoying to hear that before each snap.
