No - the requirements
only prohibit broadcasting the Skins game if Baltimore playing at home, at the same time as the Skins.
If the Ravens are playing an away game with an NFC team at the same time the Skins are playing (home or away) an NFC team, Fox will understandably
choose to broadcast the Ravens game.
If an AFC team is playing an away game against an NFC team in a game that has playoff ramifications for the Ravens and at the same time the Skins are playing (home or away) an NFC team, Fox will understandably
choose to broadcast the AFC v NFC game rather than the Skins.
If the Ravens are playing away games against AFC opponents at the same time the Skins are playing an away game against an AFC opponent, CBS will understandably
choose to broadcast the Ravens game.
As far as I am aware -- IN CASES WHERE THE RAVENS ARE AWAY AGAINST AFC OPPONENTS, AND THE SKINS ARE PLAYING AN NFC OPPONENT, THERE ARE NO RESTRICTION PREVENTING FOX 45 FROM BROADCASTING THE REDSKINS GAMES.
If I am wrong, please someone point out the policy.
In this case, the Ravens are away against an AFC opponent and the Skins are playing an NFC opponent. As far as I can tell, this is a discretionary choice by the station.
Ravens game.
