93.7 The Fan

R

RFHog

I hear The Fan promoting themselves as the "Home of Super Bowl 45". Assuming the Steelers finish off the Jets, will KDKA-FM be able to air the WW1 feed of that game with the Steelers in it? I would imagine WDVE would try to prevent that from happening.
 
i am betting they won't be able to air it because the steelers are in....if the steelers weren't in...of course that would be different.
 
No, the Steelers flagship would hold the broadcast rights within the Pittsburgh market, which I doubt that the Fan figured on when they first picked up the Westwood One NFL package.
 
Here is the explanation I found online

"For radio broadcasts, the NFL follows a nearly identical policy to MLB. There are no radio blackouts, but only each team's flagship station can carry local broadcasts during the conference championships or Super Bowl. All other markets must carry the NFL on Westwood One feed for those games. For all other weeks, within 75 miles of a team's stadium, only stations the team or its flagship station contracts with can carry those games, regardless if the team is home or away. Thus, any competing station that carries Westwood One broadcasts cannot air those games"
