    why does channel 26 suck? only 1 nfc game per week? where are the double headers?

    cbs does just fine with their 2 game lineups, why are you lagging behind kriv? does it have anything to do with this being an afc city? dallas carried 2 games on both cbs and fox seemingly every week.

    i wanted to post this last week, but the board was down.... so i'm 5 days late, or 2 days early.

    What is channel 26? Is that some sort of Hispanic channel? I only know Fox and CBS show football.

    Moving Monday Night football . . . to ESPN should be criminalized

    Thank the NFL. When the Texans are at home, the game has an exclusive window. Fox has had a doubleheader in week 1 and 3 - the Texans were at home during week 1 and 3.

    KRIV is acting like a vagina this week. The Cowboys and Texans (on the road) play at 12. Yet KRIV is picking its one game from the 3 window because it gets better ratings. However, the Cowboys will get better ratings than the 3 window. This week is the CBS doubleheader.

    Here is the NFL broadcast rule. I doubt that Dallas is getting two FOX games and two CBS games on Sundays. I was in the Dallas market two weekends ago and they did not get 2 games on each network.

    1. An NFL franchised market (i.e. New York, Chicago, Dallas, etc.).
    On a week when the NFL team (or teams) in a market is on the ROAD Sunday, Monday or Thursday night or Saturday afternoon, the market will receive three Sunday afternoon games... two telecasts by the network with the doubleheader week and one game by the network with the single game week. When an NFL team in the market is playing at HOME on Sunday afternoon, the market will receive two games... one game on FOX and one game on CBS, regardless of which network has the doubleheader week. Unless 1) the home team's assigned telecaster that day (CBS or FOX) is also on the doubleheader network and 2) the game is sold out 72 hours in advance. Then the three games would be the home team's and two other games in the remaining early or late window.


    2. All other television markets (including secondary blackout markets).
    Network affiliates in these markets will receive three games on Sunday afternoon, two on the doubleheader network (one early and one late) and one game on the single game network (either early or late).

    Selection of Games to be Telecast Regionally
    By network contract, all team road games must be telecast back to that team's home territory (franchised market and secondary blackout markets).

    Actually, it's called "Fox 26", but he specifically said "channel 26", not Fox 26 or Fox, so it sounds to me like he has to turn it to that channel whenever he watches the Fox network.

    I think that all funds that are currently going to the clutchfans tip jar should be diverted to the rodrick_98 cable TV fund.

    It's ok, rodrick, we're here to help you. You don't have to live without cable any more...

    If you have DTV with HD locals I think you use channel 26.
