Seltzer said:Well the NFL got it right back then. A couple of generations have grown up as Steelers fans. I'd be upset too if the team I've followed for years all of a sudden wasn't available to me. The NFL should have followed market history.
I am a long time Eagles fan but have loads of respect for what the Steelers have accomplished over the years. All those Super Bowls, and some at the expense of the Cowboys. What Philly fan can't love that?
Kudos to Channel 8 for standing their ground. 21 should do the same.
Seltzer - hey an Eagles fan I have a lot of respect for.
I don't know for sure but I believe Channel 21 will possibly put the Steeler games on Ch.15. The game this past week was a must carry for FOX 43 and was still carried on 15. Out in Pittsburgh where I lived, of course I never had to worry about not seeing any of their games, because the only way it would be blacked out is if it wasn't a sold out game. However, towns to the north along I-79 and the Ohio border had to watch the Browns, because of the market rule. It got worse in Erie, PA - because they had to preempt Browns and Steelers because of the Buffalo Bills being the nearest team.
