No problem. Baltimore is airing the game, so I'm covered.

Which Baltimore station is airing the Cowboys game? WBFF Fox-45 still has the Commanders game listed at 4:15pm. No word yet on the 506 Broadcast website.

I am hoping you are right otherwise I will be scouring the internet for the game.

Somebody in this thread mentioned it. I hope he's right.

I saw that thread but no one mentions that Baltimore will get the Cowboys game. They are talking about which markets will get doubleheaders on both FOX and CBS stations due to the NFL suspending the TV rules for this week.

Oh dash, as it stands now WBFF is going with the Commanders game. Unless WBFF changes its mind, it looks like its the internet or sports bar for us. Yet another reason to hate the Commanders (as if I needed anymore).

The guy at reply #7 says Baltimore got permission to air the Dallas game. No way they pick the Skins over the Dallas game.

He was referring to last year during Week 17 games. Baltimore and DC were allowed to show Cowboys @ Commanders on FOX at the same time CBS showed Steelers @ Ravens, contrary to general market rules that stipulate that no game can be shown at the same time on one network against the local team's home game on the other network.

This year it is a bit different. It's more than a home team issue, Baltimore would be cutting out the secondary market game completely if it showed the Cowboys game instead of the Commanders since they are both on FOX. I think the NFL's secondary market rules may trump common sense and human decency and force Baltimore to air the meaningless upchuck Commanders game.

I'm in Richmond so I know they'll air the damn Foreskins game! :bang2:

Crap, I totally misread that guy's post. Guess I was eager to see what I wanted to see. Baltimore cringes at the notion that they're part of the Skins' market, so we'll see what happens.

Confirmed: WBFF in Baltimore is definitely carrying the game, so we're in luck.

Where is the line in Maryland that divides Skins' territory from Raven's territory? Laurel?

Nor sure. The Baltimore area on this map is grey, which is why I had to go the station's website for a definitive answer.

Update: we're screwed. They won't be broadcasting any late games (not even the Skins). Sitcom reruns, instead. I cannot believe the NFL didn't grant them a WeeK 17 waiver to show the game.

WOW are u serious?

I remember when I use to be in the same boat as a lot of you guys. Then I bought the Ticket on DirecTV and presto, no more worries. Worth every cent.

Afraid so. Baltimore Sun lists no game in that timeslot, and WBFF's website says reruns of That 70s Show. Grrr.
