The local stations used to have their pick of which games they wanted to broadcast. So, you're saying that has been rescinded and the NFL decides what they can broadcast? I didn't know that had changed.

That's true, although the NFL doesn't decide willy-nilly on a game-by-game basis. Instead there is a formula in which the NFL eliminates tv competition for the "home" team yet remains fair to both Fox and CBS.

It happens here all the time, when I get no other game because the Saints are playing, even if on another network. This situation drove me to get Sunday Ticket.

What's crazy is it's counter intuitive to me. I don't really watch games if the Skins aren't pertinent to it. They are losing customers who would watch the game instead of turning the TV off. I might be in the minority but I'll be damned if I am spending a gorgeous day off from work inside for a team other than the Skins.
