Ongoing "who gets the Eagles game" thread

The poor little white spots.  They get nothing at all.

Notice how those spots are Giant and taterskin territory.  What does that tell you?

Wow, that a pretty friggin' limited market this week. I guess since the Steelers won a game everyone wants to watch them now.

Plus, we're encroaching on Steeler territory since the Eagles game is on CBS this week.

I know Harrisburg has a crappy policy with their CBS affiliate that when the Eagles and Steelers play at the same time on CBS they have to show Steelers games, even though Harrisburg is about 150 miles closer to Philadelphia than they are from Pittsburgh.

I think Eagles country pretty much stops around Allentown.  My mom lives up in Bloomsburg and it's predominantly Steelers fans up there.

its amazing how much more of pa is steeler territory vs eagle

I grew up in NEPA & I think the rest of PA considers people from Philly either drug dealers or liberal elitists. Pittsburgh is more "blue collar" & liked throughout the state. Plus, they have that Super Bowl thing going for them.

Who cares. We don't need those street toughs from the Santorum Districts.

Good thing Wilcotts is doing the game. Finally, a black person will be at the Linc.

FWIW, the Harrisburg CBS affiliate put this up on their website:

PROGRAM NOTE:
WHP CBS 21 will air the Pittsburgh-Cleveland game this Sunday 11/19 at 1pm. WHP airs Pittsburgh Steeler games throughout the season. We have also committed to airing Steeler Pre-season games for the next five years. We have aired Steeler pre-season and regular season games for several years since CBS was awarded the AFC contract from the NFL.

The Philadelphia Eagles normally air on FOX, which has the NFC rights. When a NFC team hosts an AFC team, the game switches to CBS. When an AFC team hosts a NFC team, the game moves to FOX. This makes it difficult for CBS and FOX stations when there are conflicts. The local FOX station will always choose to air the Eagles because of the season long commitment and we at WHPCBS 21 will always choose the Steelers for the same reason. Thank you for understanding our predicament.

While it doesn't effect me, it does cause problems for friends and family who aren't going to the game. If I was stuck here, this would be yet another reason to hate Pittsburgh.
