NFL TV Broadcast Maps, Week Two

Week Two, Broadcast Maps

Broadcast maps for week two have been released. Of course, these are subject to change. As a reminder, primetime games this week are as follows:

TNF: Broncos @ Chiefs;
SNF: Seahawks @ Packers; and
MNF: Jets @ Colts.

As for the Sunday afternoon games, the 1PM slate is packed with 10 games. It’s annoying when they do that. Some unusual broadcast “splotches” this round, I guess the dartboard approach was widely used by the affiliates this week.

For the early CBS slate, Bills-Patriots dominate the Northeast, Upper Midwest and that ever important SW Idaho and Eastern Oregon market. Chargers-Bengals will be seen throughout the bulk of the West. Texans-Panthers broadcast in most of the South with some Indiana mixed in (I don’t know, JJ Watt fanclub maybe?). Besides their own markets, Titans-Browns also graces most of Oregon (you Portland hipsters would not be watching the NFL anyway). As for the Late CBS games, Dolphins-Jags is broadcast in the New York Metro area for some ungodly reason, and Ravens-Raiders looks like a FEMA quarantine map.

Fox Early slate, Giants-Falcons has the Northeast, Sherman’s March to the Sea, and the future Independent Texas Imperial Republic. 49ers-Steelers has most of the West, Applachia and Myrtle Beach (is that a place where Western Pennslyvanians go to die in droves?). Cards-Bears are just in their natural markets, same with Bucs-Saints and Redskins-Rams. Lions-Vikings are contained within the upper Midwest. The lone Fox late slate is the GOP’s wet dream (in a US where the Silicon Valley Corporations secede from the Union and Jacksonville was destroyed in a giant meth explosion) and will feature Cowboys-Eagles.
