Won't it be subject to blackout in the Buffalo area? Rochester must be right on the blackout border.

Oh Rochester is in the blackout zone all right. And thanks to a little 3/4 mile strip East of Rochester, so is all of Syracuse and most of the towns south/southeast of Rochester. The Bills are a good franchise and have the right to make money, but that little technicality was completely bogus.

Syracuse being blacked out is a relatively recent phenonmenon. (I had already moved to Rochester a year earlier in 1997.) When CBS took over the AFC rights in 1998, WTVH 5 became the de facto Syracuse Bills station. Channel 5's signal is somewhat stronger than WSTM-3's (NBC) signal strength. About 5 houses in Yates County received Channel 5 and were within 75 miles of the center of Rich Stadium (kid you not)... and because of that little strip of land, all of Syracuse AND Utica-Rome, since Channel 5 on cable is the only CBS affiliate in Utica, were blacked-out. I grew up in CNY and got to watch all the games on tv, so I was lucky enough to watch the Comeback game live on Channel 3.

Yeah, I remember the Syracuse blackout thing. Rochester I can understand, but Syracuse is a good 135 miles away from Buffalo (at least driving distance.)That's really stretching the 75 mile blackout area, even as the crow flies.

Really unfortunate too, everybody knows about Buffalo/Niagara, Rochester, and Southern Ontario being great Bills bastions, but the Syracuse area is mostly Bills country too. And Utica-Rome is a good 50-50 split Bills and Giants fans. Only when you go really east to the Capital District do you get fewer Bills fans and more Jets, Pats, and especially Giants fans
