espn on cbs?
- Thread starter intouch
- Start date
ESPN typically offers the OTA rights on games such as Thursday's to one local TV station. Apparently, 46 was interested and was first in line. This also happens during the first round of the MLB playoffs when ESPN is televising the Braves, OTA rights are offered to the first station willing to step up. Last year, WTBS carried the games locally but blacked them out on the national "TBS Superstation" feed.

plus this game would be considered an AFC game and since CBS has the AFC package, it would make sense that the pre-season games would be offered first to the station in the market that carries the AFC normally.
I would think the pecking order for an ESPN/AFC pre-season game would be as follows....
1) CBS 46
2) 11 Alive
3) Fox 5
4) WSB<P ID="signature">______________

But does not the right reverse to the opposite network in a intra-conference game? I thought that if the game is a home AFC team vs. a visiting NFC game then the broadcast partner would FOX and if it was the opposite (NFC Home vs. AFC Away) then the broadcast is CBS?
Take a look at the following upcoming 2005 announced "National" NFL schedule:
Sunday, Sept. 11 Dallas at San Diego (4:15 p.m. ET, FOX)
Sunday, Sept. 18 Cleveland at Green Bay (4:15 p.m. ET, CBS)
Sunday, Oct. 2 Dallas at Oakland (4:15 p.m. ET, FOX)
Sunday, Oct. 23 Denver at New York Giants (4:15 p.m. ET, CBS)
Sunday, Oct. 30 Philadelphia at Denver (4:15 p.m. ET, FOX)
Sunday, Nov. 6 Pittsburgh at Green Bay (4:15 p.m. ET, CBS)
Thursday, Nov. 24 Denver at Dallas (4 p.m. ET, CBS)
Sunday, Dec. 11 Kansas City at Dallas (4:15 p.m. ET, CBS)
Saturday, Dec. 17 Kansas City at New York Giants (5 p.m. ET, CBS)

No, it doesn't work that way. The network with that conference's rights carries the visitors' game. Visiting NFC teams are always on FOX, and visiting AFC teams are always on CBS. That's why the Dallas/Oakland game is on FOX instead of CBS. It's worked that way for years...occasionally (when NBC had the AFC and CBS had the NFC) you'd see NBC carry Oakland or Houston games when they visited Texas Stadium, and the same for when Dallas would visit Cleveland or Miami.
It's been this way for at least 30 years, maybe longer.<P ID="signature">______________
