NFL Network only

well check your local listings but NO WE WENT OVER THIS IN AUGUST WITH THE COX POST

NFL Network owns this game 100%, all the Thursday games except Thanksgiving. Call Time Warner and subscribe to the sports package.

or call Cox

Ha ha I’m switching to AT&T U-Verse fiber optic in January. YES!

What about streaming on NFL.com?

Stupid Bucs...

OH HELL NO

NFL would REALLY like you to subscribe to NFL Network. I think it’s worth it. They showed an old Football Follies hosted by Jonathan Winters last night. Robin Williams owes him big time.

What do you mean?

Robin Williams is Jonathan Winters’ father. Didn’t you know that?

Stupid Bucs...

I am pretty sure

ABC 26 in New Orleans is gonna carry the game too s If you are in the New Orleans area you should get it on 26. NFL network is part of my DirecTv package so I will get it regardless.

I'll put a beer at the Carolina game on that

If ABC 26 shows that game Thursday, I’m buying at the Superdome Dec 28.

TVGUIDE.COM Says YES

I looked at tvguide.com, entered my zip code, and it claims ABC 26 IS carrying the game.

Stujo4, are you buying us all beer or just BayouRebel?

Ed Daniels is not taking my calls

Ed reminds me of my brother. Wait til he gets in the office tomorrow.

Every game aired on the NFL Network, which kicks off its eight-game primetime slate on Nov. 6, when the Cleveland Browns visit the Denver Broncos at 8 p.m. (ET), can be seen on free TV in the home markets of the two teams on the field, but the rest of the country needs access to the NFL Network.

Well, OK. I’m wrong. If anyone wants free beer, bring a vendor or just come and see me. I’ll be down in Section 108. Here’s my picture:

Hi Stuart,

Thank you for your question. Per the NFL’s long-standing broadcast policies, all NFL Network games will be carried on over-the-air television in the city of the visiting team and in the city where the game is played if it is sold out 72 hours in advance of kickoff. All telecasts will use NFL Network announcers, graphics and full production elements. This week’s Thursday Night Football matchup between the Saints and the Bears will be syndicated on ABC Channel 26 WGNO in New Orleans and MyNetwork Channel 50 WPWR in Chicago.

Enjoy the game!

Subject: Is Thursday night football exclusively on NFL Network? ABC26 claims to be carrying the game

How can WGNO New Orleans show the Dec 11 Saints@Bears game?? Please respond, I have many beers at stake. Thank you.
