WTOL should already be showing the Browns game. They play at 4pm as the second game of the CBS double-header. The Detroit game starts at 1pm on Fox. What’s the scheduling conflict for Browns fans?
But to address the question, of course you don’t give a different station broadcasting rights to the game. Just because Toledo considers itself a Browns town doesn’t mean the NFL does. Each team’s market is clearly defined before the season begins, and each station’s network/owners pay a lot of money for the exclusive regional rights to broadcast the games. You can’t just give another station the right to broadcast a game, just because their viewers prefer that game over the one they’re scheduled to see…and you *sure* can’t do it three days before the game is scheduled.

The Fox affiliate in Toledo has the show the Lions game, even though there are more Browns fans in Toledo, because the Lions are closer to that area, and it's CBS's doubleheader...should the NFL allow WTOL to show the Browns game even though it's CBS's doubleheader? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
