AJ1 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 What is the delay? CBS can offer only two games: Jets @ Tenn or Bills @ NE. They still haven't decided what game to offer in NY? I see the Syracuse offering is also TBA. What gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ1 Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 My Syracuse listings show Bills/NE. Where are you seeing TBA? 762549[/snapback] Off of TV Guide .com I cross referenced channel 6's homepage to the Guide and both showed TBA. Not surprised the page's aren't updated expediently, but I have been waiting for the local CBS affiliate to say something about opening day for weeks. Maybe the frigging horses are more important.

The Bills will have to prove they are significantly better than the gangreen before 6 favors them over the dogazzes. It would take 2 wins in first two games this season, for instance. Have not looked to see Jets' schedule for week 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Anywhere east of Binghamton is Jets territory, unfortunately. 762588[/snapback] But we're close enough to NE to (hopefully) give the station the option of taking the Bills/NE game. Tennessee & the Jets won't combine for 8 wins this season-it's a horrible game to televise anywhere. Last year the station took a Patriot game or 2 over both the Jets & the Bills, so I have hope for this Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardFan Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Ahhh.... I went directly to WTVH's programming guide with uses TitanTV. 762575[/snapback] Use Titan with my PVR card since it's integrated with the card for point and click programming and while it is fairly reliable they are not always correct with NFL info. Certainly hope they are wrong about game not being broadcast in HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantsOfAlbany Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Follow the Giants and none of you will have this problem. Anyway, I think the games being broadcast are determined by CBS, not local channels. There's no logic it seems to the games they broadcast but it looks like the Jets have to play terrible b4 they consider Buf/NE games. Very frustrating to Albany area AFCE fans.

NFL Football NY Jets @ Tennessee 763271[/snapback] Here's how much I like the Jets. I think that they should be disbanded and the players split between the other 31 teams. Then NY CBS affiliates would be relieved of showing a crap team which no one out of NYC metro area cares about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 The good news is that unless they do something really crazy, the Bills-Dolphins game next week will be on in Albany because Jets-NE is the 4:15 game of the CBS doubleheader.

Then I found out they had games on sattelites in bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coby Fan Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I remember WRGB letting us vote on bills vs jets vs pats for the AFC game back in the 90's. I also remember bills fans always voting early and often and the bills being the fan's choice. We should ask the station to bring back the vote. With a game like this week's we would surely find more support for Bflo-NE since WRGB also broadcasts into Mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE at Jets @ 4:15. Bills are on at 1. Now if the Giants are playing in conference we are home free. Giants are at Philly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
