NFL Doubleheader Blackout--Again?

[oldiesfan6479]

I have a sneaking suspicion that Phoenix will not get to see the
CBS doubleheader game (Indy at Dallas) this Sunday Nov. 19.

With Detroit at Arizona being the single game offering on Fox
(late slot), I think that effectively negates CBS being able to
air two games in Phoenix.

Until the Gribble maps come up later in the week, whatcha think?
Keith?

I'm not Keith, but I think you're 100% correct. When the home team is televised, no other game can air opposite to it, so we'll get an 11 AM game on CBS only, and the Cards game at 2 PM on Fox. However, should the Cardinals game end before the Indy/Dallas game does, don't be surprised if KPHO picks up the end of the game. Apparently, they'd be allowed to; someone has already reported that happening in their city this year.

You are correct. With the Cards-Lions game being the late game, the 2nd CBS game (Indy-Dallas, the only late CBS game) is blacked out in the Phoenix and San Francisco markets.

We're getting the Pats-Packers on CBS at 11 AM, and Lions-Cards on Fox at 2 PM. Anything else will require Sunday Ticket.
