NFL Network, where is it?

The NFL Network has been gone from Uverse since April 2019....almost 2 years.  *smdh*

All playoff games are on local broadcast channels. Check your Fox, NBC or CBS.

The next GB game should be Saturday at 4:30pm ET on your broadcast FOX affiliate. I'm sure pregame coverage will start earlier.

The only time NFL Network had exclusive games during the 2020 season was, IIRC, a small handful of Thursday night games at the start of the season.

Actually, there was a game at the end of December I couldn't watch.  It was not carried by the local FOX affiliate (not sure why, I am in the team's market, but not in the DMA of the team's home city; That city's DMA Fox station did apparently carry the game).  It was available to me for Mobile streaming from the teams website and from NFL Network (which I didn't have).  

Watching it from the mobile app wasn't very much fun.

You've got me interested.

What city are you in? (Hint: change the "16" at the end if the week is wrong.)

That site puts out maps every Wednesday during the NFL season using the same URL format the past few years.

Sometimes, things get wonky and may not make sense. For the Bengals home opener, fans in southeast Ohio were wondering why they couldn't watch their "hometown star" Joe Burrow make his home debut. They get their TV affiliate from one in West Virginia. As a result, they were watching the Steelers game that week. An Ohio senator was trying to petition to change things so they could watch the Bengals. (WV is hardcore Steelers country.) Unfortunately, things aren't that easy.

Sometimes, a hometown star will be playing in a game on the other side of the country. I think the Jacksonville QB went to college at Washington or Washington State. As a result, many Jacksonville games were on in Washington when other nearby fans got the 49ers or the big "game of the week" in the late slot.

You also see random areas where maybe a transponder is set up...these are primarily out west. There may be a random splatch of yellow (example) in a large red area.

Let me know your city, week and game info and may I can try to figure it out.

(a) oie3asee looks like someone placing a post for later editing in of SPAM links.

(b) I think the game may have been the same one the OP was talking about... IIRC, it was Carolina vs. Greenbay.  What I remember was that the game was scheduled for some strange time.  I found this Charlotte Observer article that said:

The team’s Week 15 game against the Green Bay Packers (10-3) has been scheduled for 8:15 p.m. Saturday, December 19. The game will be called by Mike Tirico and Kurt Warner, along with Melissa Stark. It will air on NFL Network and WSOC locally.

Carolina's home city is Charlotte, which is a different DMA from Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville/Anderson where I live, but my DMA is definitely in Panther's territory (former owner Jerry Richardson is from Spartanburg, and their training camp has been in Spartanburg for most of the team's history), and they're always the game playing on Sunday afternoon.  WSOC is an ABC affiliate in Charlotte, but I found no network affiliate in G/S/A/A carrying the game.

Ahhh... The game was national TV on NFL Network. Games on that channel have (in the past) been simulcast on an OTA channel. In recent years, Fox and Amazon have shared simulcasting of the Thursday night game and this "OTA rule" no longer exists.

The NFN-exclusive Browns game in (I think) week 2 was on a Thursday night and I believe simulcast OTA in Cleveland, but not in Columbus even though Columbus gets many of the Browns games on Sunday afternoon CBS or Fox.

Perhaps that game was a "true exclusive" to NFL Network.

It sort of reminds me of my situation with the Pirates. My local TV channels are Columbus, but we're in the Pittsburgh Pirates TV territory. Even though AT&T SportsNet is only on (I think) 3 providers total, we're still blacked out of their games.

Team territory doesn't always "agree with" DMA territory.

I just marked another one as spam. Same oie user. It mentioned something about "this link" but there was no link.

It was fishy.

It's now gone.
