NFL TV schedules

can anyone tell me where i can find on-line which portions of the country will get which games on Sunday afternoons?

thanx,

--D.C.--
 
I see that Presque Isle, ME is listed as airing the late game on FOX. That's a reference to WAGM-TV channel 8, a primary CBS affiliate and the only commercial TV station in that market. By the way, why is WFXT-TV (FOX) channel 25 of Boston not airing the Giants game?

Dallas (who is playing in the 4:15 P.M. game WFXT will air) is coached by former New England Patriots coach Bill Parcells, and their starting quarterback is former Patriot Drew Bledsoe.

It's the same reason why after Ray Bourque got traded away from the Boston Bruins, WCVB-5 in Boston got from ABC (the then-network-TV home of the NHL) as many Colorado Avalanche games as possible. Often, WCVB was the only ABC station east of the Mississippi to get a regional NHL game from the network featuring the Avs.

Nevertheless, I am surprised that the Giants game is not on WFXT. I expected that WFXT would have broadcast as many Giants' games as possible under the structure of the NFL network TV deals (i.e. when the local NFL team is playing at home, only that home game can be televised and no out-of-town games can go head-to-head on TV against the local team's home game, etc.)

KTTV will make the announcement of what games will be shown locally by tonight, on their 10pm newscasts. They usually let the viewers decide the first week's game annually, every week after that it will up to the network on what game Los Angeles would get on KTTV. As for as KCBS, they usually carry the Raiders (top priority) and Chargers, and if neither is included on the CBS Sunday package that week, then's usually the best game available.
