NFL Coverage Map Week 8

Why do some places only get to have one game on a double header week for a network? That doesnt seem fair.

So in my area it looks like no early game on CBS as they will air steelers-raiders...........Redzone for me too.

It was driving me crazy too ... basically I think if the game in your area is sold out and aired on CBS (singleheader station), you lose the second game on Fox (doubleheader station) that is aired when the game is being played ...

The NFL rules prohibit other NFL games from being shown on local television stations while a local team is playing a sold-out home game. The rules are designed to make sure ticket-holders show up at the stadium instead of watching the other game on TV.

When the home team is being shown on the network with the NFL singleheader, the doubleheader station can only air one of its games. So when this happens, there are only two games shown in the market. When, however, the home team is being shown on the network with the NFL doubleheader, all three games can air in the market.
