Birmingham, AL - Titans, Falcons
Mobile/Pensacola - Saints, Falcons
Little Rock, AR - Chiefs, Cowboys
Los Angeles, CA - Chargers, Raiders
Jackson, MS - Saints
Albuquerque, NM- Cowboys, Broncos
San Antonio, TX - Cowboys
El Paso, TX - Cowboys, Broncos
Corpus Christi, TX - Cowboys
Beaumont, TX - Texans, Cowboys, Saints
Midland-Odessa, TX - Cowboys
Salt Lake City, UT - Broncos, 49ers
Milwaukee, WI - Is actually the "home" market for the Packers, not Green Bay
 
I know that Erie, PA is between Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Cleveland, all of which are NFL markets. Buffalo gets priority if they are home and on CBS (with WSEE-TV channel 35).

Wisconsin is all Packers, save for areas of Western Wisconsin served by the Minneapolis FOX affiliate (though KMSP may have been replaced by FOX stations in places like La Crosse - not sure of Hudson).

In fact, WTMJ radio in Milwaukee does all the production for the Packers network, and are more or less the primary market. Not a whole lot of Bears fans around there, but Packers stuff is everywhere. Packers used to play half of their home schedule at old County Stadium in Milwaukee, but switched exclusively to Lambeau Field sometime in the 90s. The County Stadium games were unique in that teams shared one sideline.
 
In Wichita,
CBS - Chiefs primary, AFC West Secondary...
FOX - Cowboys primary, NFC East Secondary....but they broadcast a lot of Bears games as its secondary last season.
 
Wheeling WV/Steubenville OH is a Steelers market. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hartford also is a "Must-Carry" for Giants on Fox 61.

as is it is for most of the Fox stations in New England (although when Presque Isle was stuck with FoxNet they got whatever national game Fox chose)
 
DMAs and their NFL "Home Teams"

The "Home Teams" that were asked for are given by DMA and priority:

Birmingham -- Falcons*
Mobile/Pensacola -- Saints*
Little Rock -- Cowboys, Chiefs
Los Angeles -- Chargers*
Hartford/New Haven -- Patriots*, Giants, Jets
Fort Myers/Naples -- Bucs*, Dolphins
Central Illinois -- Rams*, Bears
South Bend -- Bears*, Colts
Wichita -- Chiefs
Louisville -- Colts, Bengals
Salisbury -- Ravens*, Redskins*, Eagles
Jackson -- Saints
Central MO -- Chiefs*, Rams*
Las Vegas -- "White Market", airs the best available matchup
Albuquerque -- Broncos, Cowboys
Toledo -- Browns*, Lions*
Columbus OH -- Bengals, Browns; when there's a conflict this DMA gets the better matchup
Youngstown -- Browns*, Steelers
Oklahoma City -- Cowboys, Chiefs
Tulsa -- Cowboys, Chiefs
Altoona/Johnstown -- Steelers*
Central PA -- Ravens*, Eagles*, Steelers
Erie -- Bills*, Steelers, Browns
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre -- Eagles*, Steelers, Giants
Columbia -- Panthers*, Falcons
Charleston SC -- Panthers
Memphis -- Titans
San Antonio -- Cowboys
El Paso -- Cowboys, Broncos
Corpus Christi -- Texans, Cowboys
Beaumont -- Texans*, Cowboys
Odessa/Midland -- Cowboys
Salt Lake City -- "White Market", gets the best available matchup
Richmond -- Redskins*, Ravens
Hampton Roads -- Redskins, Ravens, Steelers
Roanoke/Lynchburg -- Redskins, Ravens, Falcons
Wheeling/Steubenville -- Steelers*, Browns
Clarksburg/Fairmont/Morgantown -- Steelers*
Huntington/Charleston -- Steelers, Bengals
Milwaukee -- Packers*
Madison -- Packers
Eau Claire/La Crosse -- Packers, Vikings

An asterisk means that team's away games must be shown in that particular DMA. These DMAs are designated by the NFL as "Secondary Markets". In some areas this results in a big outcry -- Steeler fans in Central Penn are never happy when CBS 21 is locked into a Ravens away game.

Also, Hartford/New Haven is not a "Secondary Market" for the Giants. Last season Fox 61 in Hartford aired Bears-Patriots instead of Giants-Titans in Week 12.
 
I remember when the 49ers were good, Vegas used to carry their games. I guess with their recent pitfalls, and all of the transplants from all over, they have changed their ways. I guess it doesn't matter there. You can go into any sports book and watch any game you want, and make it more interesting with a wager. ;)
 
Changes to "Home Teams" list

Fort Myers/Naples -- Bucs*, Dolphins*
Louisville -- Colts, Bengals; this DMA usually gets the better matchup
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre -- Eagles*, Giants, Steelers (in that order)
Salt Lake City -- 49ers
