Spero Dedes and Randy Cross????

Who are these guys?

And I wonder what is up with that blue area in the middle of the Carolinas. Hard to figure out what the interest there would be in San Diego v Seattle.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Randy Cross has been with CBS for some time. Not sure who the other guys is.

Spero Dedes is the radio man for the Lakers, and does college football. He's very good at describing action but has a cadence that I find incredibly annoying. Not sure if he uses it in football as well, but in basketball broadcasts his rising and falling voice bugs. He is knowledgeable though, in bball.

We could post the maps, but now they use Google Earth and it isn't a flat image file anymore. It would take screencaps. Time is permitting me from doing so, but you or someone else is more than welcome.

I find these maps very interesting, and I have no idea why.

Me too. I get spellbound by them.

In L.A. we get the NY Giants and Dallas foisted on us every freaking week. Thank heavens for Sunday Ticket.

[LVCARDFREAK]

Wyh does a small pocket of folks in North Carolina get the Seattle game? Thats odd. whats the connection?

 

[Rivercard]

What's up with St. Louis not getting any CBS games?

 

[Shane]

So if you live in Kansas City, St. Louis, or Minneapolis you just don;t get to watch football? Whats up with that?

Me too. DCR needs to post these things weekly and actually make himself useful around here.

No opposing games


Another policy to encourage sellouts, is that no other NFL game can air opposite the local club's broadcast on the primary market's affiliate.

• If a local club's broadcast is the "early" game of a doubleheader, the other network (which shows the singleheader) may only show a game during the "late" time slot, even if the club is playing away.
• If a local club's broadcast is the "late" game of a doubleheader, the other network (which shows the singleheader) may only show a game during the "early" time slot, even if the club is playing away.
• If a local club is playing at home, and the broadcast is shown by the singleheader network, the other network (which shows the doubleheader) may only air one game in that market; either "early" or "late" (the slot which the local club is not playing).
• If a local club is playing away, and the broadcast is shown by the singleheader network, the other network (which shows the doubleheader) may air both of their games.

The no opposing game policy is a key reason why singleheader fixtures on the east coast are occasionally scheduled for the "late" timeslot.

This rule does not apply in Week 1 when the US Open is on CBS at 4:30 p.m.. CBS affiliates may broadcast games opposite a team that has a home game on Fox at the same time in Week 1.

Each TV market, including one hosting a non-sold-out game, is assured of at least one televised game in the early and late time slots, one game on each network, but no "network doubleheader" in the home marker of a non-sold-out game.

The New York and San Francisco Bay area media markets typically get fewer doubleheaders than other markets as each has two teams, and one of them is at home virtually every week. The main exception is when one of the teams is idle, has its home game televised on the doubleheader network, or is chosen for a prime-time game. This policy affects only the club's primary market, not others with signals that penetrate inside the 75-mile radius. It also does not affect viewers of NFL Sunday Ticket in the primary market; all other games remain available.

I just read the whole thing and still have no idea what is going on.

Why do these things always have to be written in ancient Sumerian.
