    Usually a local station picks up the NFLN exclusive games for the WNY area. Don't know for sure about pre-season though.

        I was under the impression that this week's game was exclusive to NFL Network. I only have TW so as soon as I find out for sure I'll post.

          This region is heavily into Time Warner so one of the local stations should pick up the feed. I know they have for regular season games.

            Our local CBS station shows all the pre-season games since we're in the Bills market. They are listed on the Bills site for the games, but I just assumed that a live game on NFLN was exclusive.

              According to the online tv guide my local CBS isn't showing it. That makes me think it's exclusive to NFLN.

                I fully expect things to change throughout the week.

                        I think that only applys to the national broadcast. However, it is not on the TV Guide listings for WKBW on Sunday evening. If not live, Maybe WKBW will be able to have a taped delay rebroadcast later. If not, I'll have to invite myself over to my son's house Sunday evening.
                        I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                        I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                          Another?

                          Both games were shown locally.

                            I don't know if it applies to preseason games, but I thought the NFL's limited antitrust exemption - the ability for the entire league to negotiate television contracts and prevent individual teams from negotiating their own TV contract - called for games to be televised in the home team's market (unless it's a home game that's not sold out) for 'free'.

                            In other words, those games needed to be available on a local broadcast station and not exclusive to a cable station (espn or nfln) that you have to pay money to get. The law is a bit outdated, since the number of people that get their television signal for 'free' through an antenna is next to nothing at this point, but is still on the books. If I'm not mistaken, any game that is sold out and broadcast on nfln or espn is also simulcast on a local channel in the markets of the two teams that are playing that game.

                              That would be news to me. I remember last season the Pittsburgh game on NFLN wasn't local and the bars were flooded with people.
