Cards-Cowboys game on Christmas Night

According to Zap2it.com, the NFL Network feed of the game will be simulcast on Channel 45.

I believe the game is already sold out so there's no blackout to worry about. Then again, the way the Back To The Same Old Cardinals have been playing this season, maybe they'd want one. ;D

Why did 45 get the rights and not 3 like with Monday Night Football?

The preseason games (Channel 15), Monday Night Football (Channel 3), and NFL Network (Channel 45) contracts with local stations are separate entities. KNXV contracts with the Bidwills directly, KTVK deals with ESPN, and Fox Phoenix deals with the NFL Network.

Why Fox put the game on 45 rather than 10 is beyond me. I would think that it would be a ratings winner for Channel 10, despite it being a meaningless game for both teams. Had the game been scheduled for Sunday, it would have been on 10.

Agreed. You'll have the "America's Team" fans who want to see their somewhat recovering
team run slipshod over the now hapless Cardinals, and the anti-NFC East uber alles crowd
who wants the opponent--any opponent--to stick it to the Dallas Cryboys.

And the Fox Network is just running holiday filler programming on Christmas night anyway
(no Cops or AMW).

Closed circuit for the Bidinals: wear white in this game so Dallas will be forced to wear its
dreaded (jinxed?) blue jerseys. ;D
