But that didn't answer my question (or if it did, I'm not picking up on it):  
does Los Angeles or any of the other 2-team markets air the same game on two 
different stations at the same time?

???  That's not how I understand the rules work.  If a Tampa Bay Buccaneers 
home game is broadcast by a station that's not our normal Fox station, we don't 
get two stations airing the same game.  We usually get non-football filler on 
the Fox station.  Do the rules work differently for cities with two teams?  
Anybody in the New York market have any experience with a situation like this?

They’ve been handling things differently in Los Angeles this season than they 
normally do in New York and San Francisco, scheduling the Rams and Chargers to 
both be on the non-doubleheader network four times — this coming Sunday is the 
fourth — and in each of those weeks, also allowing two games to appear on the 
doubleheader network. In New York and San Francisco, they schedule the teams to 
play at different times on different networks (when they both have Sunday day 
games), so those markets get three games at most, two involving the local teams.

The speculation is that the NFL wanted to continue to get the TV ratings that 
come with being able to air the “best” games of the week in Los Angeles, rather 
than causing the fans to always be “stuck” with the Rams and Chargers.
