The games will also be shown by local broadcasters in the markets where they are being played.
Is this where Bush vs. Young shows up in primetime?
The OLN deal would have been real sweet.
It would have worked out alot better for me.

Good thing my CBS affiliate will bring the Titans regardless.

Thanks Charter Cable! Thanks for getting NFL Network for about a year and then ditching it :irked:

Unless they are playing an NFC opponet at home in which case I doubt FOX could run it in my market even if they wanted too. Matters not. I'd plan on being there, which would be great if it was a Saturday but with the Titans "luck" it would end up being on Thursday, which would suck. I guess I'm covered NFL Network or no. I have always wanted to get it. Then again I've always wanted a Tennessee Titans "short bus" too...

The idea is that more cable companies will pick up the network especially if "you" let them know.

I have satellite (only way to get Titan games in Illinois) and I've written DirectTV about other networks. Naturally they didn't do it just for me, but I've gotten at least one that I thought I had to have (and now seldom watch).

I love NFL Network except for how often it repeats the same show over and over




and over again.
