Buffalo, Rochester, Elmira-Corning-Ithaca, Watertown, and Syracuse-Utica get Bills

Binghamton and Albany get Jets.

Re: Week 2 coverage maps

Also, looks like Erie is going Bills over the Browns

Steelers are on Fox, so no conflict there.

Re: Week 2 coverage maps

the map shows bills / raiders showing in seattle (and up here in vancouver) however local listings have the baltimore / tenn game.

who decides this? can the local channel choose a different game? perhaps because hasselbeck and locker are in tennessee they think this may be of interest to people in seattle?

Re: Week 2 coverage maps

Our local CBS channel in Iowa sometimes runs a poll to see what the viewers want, if there is some conflict. I am assuming the map is the default choice

Yeah, I doubt they would pick the Raiders Bills, but who knows with the Chiefs looking so bad.

Re: Week 2 coverage maps

For those in Albany, I did an analysis before the season started & these are my findings. So far I'm 2 for 2:

This is the way I see the Albany home tv schedule, based on competition with the Jets, Giants & Patriots:

9/11 @Kansas City: Yes! No competition
9/18 Oakland: No, Jets will be televised
9/25 New England: No, Ch 6 has 1 game & they'll take the Jets @4:05
10/2 @ Cincinnati: Yes! No competition
10/9 Philadelphia: No, Giants will be televised
10/16@Giants: Yes!
10/30 Washington (Toronto): Yes! No competition (Note FOX only has 1 game & I doubt they'll go against the Giants on CBS at 1:00, leaving the Bills game for 4:05)
11/6 Jets: Yes!
11/13 @Dallas: Yes! No competition
11/20 @Miami: Yes! No competition
11/27 @ Jets: Yes!
12/4 Tenessee: No, Jets will be televised
12/11 @ San Diego: Yes! No competition
12/18 @ Miami: Yes! No competition
12/24 Denver: Maybe, only competition is NE/Mia
1/1 @ New England: No, Jets will be televised

Very good analysis
I think Binghamton will be similar.

Extreme eastern North Country is the one spot, outside of NYC in New York, that never shows Bills games, due to the fact that they get WCAX out of Burlington VT for their games.

I expect something similar for Syracuse-Utica, of course blackouts are possible there, as in Rochester, Erie, and Buffalo. As a secondary market, Syracuse will show every road game. Syracuse will show every sold out home game except for one... the Eagles game is a Giants conflict and FOX 68 in Syracuse goes Giants in that situation (Channel 5 conversely, goes Bills if there is a Giants conflict on CBS)

Re: Week 2 coverage maps

Glad to see Arizona has the Bills game as well as the whole west coast. We can showcase the team for most of the country to see this Sunday.

BUF and CIN games are dogs. Local stations don't pick up games from clubs with long-term podunk records.

I don't recall the last time a BUF game was shown here. The home game against BUF wasn't a sellout, but I had hopes that the coverage of CLE, PIT, and BAL as the AFC East squared off against the AFC North last season would pop up with a Bills game. Didn't happen.

What station in Bflo. would bother to show a CIN game? We get the usual NFC East, GB, NE, NYJ, SD stuff year after year after year.
