There are always football games on Thanksgiving. FOX and CBS. Then another at night on NBC.

Question almost seems to answer itself as if it is on Fox then that is it being shown.

However, if your local Fox affiliate has pulled their channel because of negotiations, then the answer would expect to be no. They (Fox affiliate) withhold all programming to leverage customers. And keeping football away certainly has a way with some people.

Thanks Juniper. I know the last few haven’t been on, so it must be a local affiliate.

I'm not sure I follow. How does the games not being on mean it must be a local affiliate?
