PromoTheRobot Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Being a CBS affiliate gives them most of the games anyway. I guess this gives added access and content exclusivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) The Buffalo News says Ch 10 in Albany is part of the agreement. Games have been on Ch 23, but since it's the same management I'm guessing they'll stay on Ch 23. Edited February 22, 2020 by Albany,n.y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagon127 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Does this mean that any potential Bills games broadcast on ESPN or NFL network also get broadcast on Ch.4? Edited February 23, 2020 by wagon127 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB48 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Channel 7 (ABC in Buffalo) is drastically cutting costs. They are the lowest (by far) rated news station in the Buffalo market. They just gave up the Children's Hospital Telethon which they sponsored and broadcast for many, many years. The news, weather and sports staff, except for a few polished personalities, look very rag-tag compared to channels 2 and 4. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
