How are they picking which local games we’ll get now?
As a Broncos fan who doesn’t live near Denver, I know I won’t always get them on TV, even more lately since they’ve gone from being one of the top teams to sucking the past few years.
Last week, they played the Raiders, so I figured I’d at least get that one, because we usually do. Nope. This week, Chargers, about as close to local as we can get. Still no.
I may see hardly any games this year.
I am pretty sure it all comes down to popularity and ratings.
The Chiefs have 5 prime time games this year.
That’s the plan to get you to pay for NFL Sunday Ticket.
We’ll get the Packers game if it’s on before or after the Bears, probably because they’re the closest other team. Check out RedZone, you’ll get to see some of the game if it’s on Sunday.
Yeah, but you used to be able to count on at least getting the local ones.
This does not answer your Q but is a good source to find out where and when.
Somehow, our area is sometimes in the Denver market, sometimes in the Arizona market. Both are about 400 miles or so from us, and neither are available on OTA or cable without a streaming service. Unfortunately, we get nearly all the Dallas games.
My condolences.
Yeah, that’s the one that came up earlier. I’ve learned to google “coverage map.”
Thanks. When it is a choice between watching nothing or watching a Dallas game, nothing wins every time.
I don’t have cable or streaming so I had to watch teh Monday night game over the air. The audio on that broadcast was horrible. Someone said it sounded like someone put a microphone in the stands of a high school game to pick up the announcers. I turned it off since it was super bothersome. Finally they got it fixed near the end of the game. Since the NFL seems dead set on making viewers at home pay SOMEBODY - cable provider or streaming service - to see games, I think that may have been deliberate.
Thanks, I thought it was just me. It’s been so bad on college games that you might as well turn the sound off. I don’t understand why no one among the broadcast team of techs hasn’t noticed.
I will say this, for being new to the game, Amazon Prime is doing an amazing job of covering the games.
I guess I’ll find out on the 17th.
Last year, the video was glitchy.
So, Amazon had video that the other networks wouldn’t otherwise have had? It’s not clear what “enhanced video” means.
I don’t know because I didn’t see it either. When I read the enhanced video comment, I thought it meant that Amazon had a higher resolution video than the screen the refs were using.
I did break down and watch some of the Dallas game today and saw the Lions trounce them.
I may finally get to see the Broncos on Thursday, but I suspect they’ll be without their best player. Concussion today.
When Dallas beat Cleveland in the season opener they were Super Bowl. But their QB got a record contract. Detroit showed that they might have overpaid.
There is an App that enables you to get all of the NFL games. Not sure how legal it is.
Video of the games is kind of glitchy at times and will drop out.
