Week 2 TV Coverage Map

Another week where the Sunday Ticket does me no good.

 

nice, sunday ticket for me in california. thank you direct tv for giving it away for free this season.

 

My game is on locally so I wont need my Sunday Ticket either but I am still glad I have it :-D

 

Looks like I won't have to go out looking for a place to see the game this week here in the MD, DC, VA area. Will be right down stairs in my Steelers man cave!

 

Great. Jim Nantz. After Michaels drooling all over Manning last week and now Nantz will be just as bad with Sanchez and the Jets.

 

Thanks for the map but I'm in that one spot in the middle of the map with no coverage at all.

Guess I'm depending on the gameday thread to do play-by-play for me.

 

I find it interesting that in Hawaii, the one Fox game they show is the 1pm Eastern game. Which I believe is 7am for them. Where as if their on Fox game would be the 4pm Eastern game, then it would be on at 11am. Maybe they just all get up early there. At least we all know that if they are watching football, they will be watching the Steelers. Then again, if I was there, I might be doing something else.

 

so what does no game because of the nfl rules mean? man it must suck to live in those areas

 

I`m guessing it is blacked out locally, due to the fact that the local team didn`t sell out the game. I didn`t pay attention to which area that was.
It doesn`t happen very often, although a team or 2 had problems with it last year, I forget, but I am thinking maybe Tampa Bay, or somewhere on the coast, like that.
Also, I`m pretty sure they could still technically "sell-out" the game, by the team, or sponsors buying up the remainder of the ticketts closer to the deadline, which, I believe is a lot closer to Saturday eve., for a Sunday game.
I forget the deadline, but I`m pretty sure it`s not before Friday or Saturday, before the game.
The Clowns had to resort to this tactic a few times last year, to avoid their games being blacked out here in Northeast Oh.
On a side note, I don`t like late games, or even 4 o`clock games, but at least it gives me the chance to see more games, without spending money on Sunday Ticket, or at the bar...
It looks like this year, there are probably only about five games that won`t be televised here, which is rare... Usually, it`s closer to 10!
Yay for me! :-D

 

Ray... it IS possible, just very, very difficult.
Just pretty much go into a coccoon, from the time the game starts, `till you get to the comfort of your home, to watch it...
NO Radio... NO t.v. ... NO Internet...Don`t look at texts, or answer your fone... etc... It CAN be done... I`ve had to do it for Buckeye games before. No chance I`m missin a Steeler game. I will call off that day, if I have to... And, if necessary, have your wife turn the t.v. on, and start the DVR recording, so you don`t take the chance of seeing the score, on the channel the t.v. turns on to...

 

This happens here in San Diego every week! For a Sunday game, the deadline is Thursday. What happens a lot here is that the local CBS affiliate will buy the tickets so they can show the game locally and get the ad revenue. Way to go Choker fan(s)!

 

I live in Seattle and this crap happens all the time. It has nothing to do with selling out the Seahawks game, I don't think. It has something to do with the network not being allowed to air any other game at the time of the Seahawks game. And I hate it.

 

I also have Sunday Ticket and am very happy not to need it this week as I'll be at Heinz to see my first Steeler home game!

 

Happy for you, Santee!!!
I KNOW you will have a great time...
Here`s hoping that it`s a win, too!!!

 

Congrats dude! You are gonna love it! Make SURE you visit the Hall of Fame. It's awesome! And get ready to scream the lyrics of Renegade at the top of your lungs. It's like experiencing the moon landing or something. You'll never forget it.

 

"Oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life................"

 

Let me tell you. It does.

It means instead of football you get alot of infomercials.

 

Or it means you live in San Diego! Two years in a row the Chokers can not sell out the home opener! Glad we are I Pitt to see the Jets game! Just arrived this afternoon! Off to Primanti Bros. Cannot believe how green it is here!

 

Everything turns to black and gold on Sunday. Enjoy your first trip to Da Burgh my man!!!!!!

 

thanks,yhought I was going to have to go to aj gators,or buffalo wild wings,good I can sit on my couch and chill.

 

SPANISH: Feliz viaje Santeesteel, que disfrutes el juego. Espero algún día poder ver un partido de los Steelers en Heinz Field, de momento me alegro por ti. Buenos deseos en tu viaje.
