Wayne Cubed Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Do any of you guys know if the game will be on Direct TV?? Haven't seen anyone address this yet. Can it be on DirecTV and Terry Pegula own the Bills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I'll believe it when I see it. Me too--well at least until an official announcement is made, But I think that suggests the Sunday in the Sunday Ticket doesn't bind the league to only use those channels on Sunday. If an exception has been made, even once, why wouldn't it be considered again? Was there appreciable fallout from that exception? http://www.nfl.com/n...on-monday-night No. Locally on CBS. Yesterday's news. The NFL will decide today what happens with any national distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 http://www.nfl.com/n...on-monday-night No. Locally on CBS. I would suggest that means very little. http://blogs.courant.com/roger_catlin_tv_eye/2010/12/no-giantsvikings-on-local-tv-t.html That first came out saying it wouldn't be showed nationally... Then it was showed nationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarillo Bills Fan Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Just chatted with a directv rep, she told me the game will be shown on Sunday ticket, hope she's right. However, the game is not listed on the directv guide yet. So we shall see. Edited November 21, 2014 by N5ZC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno. they said the listener sent them a screen shot of the tweet. I really don't think it's been 100% decided yet. I did my part by tweeting the NFL & Directv. Maybe intense fan pressure would sway them towards airing it on ST. If the NFL feels that not enough people care, they have no reason to jump through hoops to air it.

I think DirecTV would want to show it, if not they are loosing a game and also CBS is loosing loads of viewers. Ultimately it's up to the NFL, which in the past they have shown the game on Sunday ticket. It would be beyond stupid if they didn't do that again.

Max997 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) anyone who has dealt with DTV customer service reps before should know they have no idea if the game will be televised or not the decision hasnt even been made yet and will most likely be announced today and anyone following it will prob know before any of the people answering the phones at DTV will Edited November 21, 2014 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max997 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 this game is going to be like one of those early bowl games with a couple hundred people in the stands the decision to televise this game should come down to how much the NFL cares about its fans but as usual it will come down to how much it cares about its broadcast partners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My interest in the NFL has become pretty tenuous over the last few years. If the league doesn't step up in some way for the fans, I'm thinking there are better things I can do with my time on Sundays, Monday nights, etc...

They have to be, as it will be on CBS in the #1 TV market in the country, NYC. Nothing they can do about it. Having DTV carry it is small potatoes compared to that.

The Avenger Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I think the only hope us out of market fans have is the previous precedence for this with the Giants vs. Vikes game that got moved to Monday night and apparently aired on Sunday Ticket. I'm not sure how hard that was to do - how much arm twisting was required to get ESPN to allow it - hopefully it can be done again. Right now I don't think anyone at DTV knows, nor does anyone in the media. DTV reps and reporters know that Sunday Ticket is only for Sunday games - that's true, but whether some sort of special arrangement is made (like they did previously) doesn't appear to have been decided or announced - hopefully we get something official today.
