Video: Joe Zone Explains Game Coverage
Channel 3, WFSB TV, is the Patriots station in the Hartford/New Haven market.
It’s that way because as a CBS affiliate, we televise AFC games. Just as the Fox station in this market is considered the Giants station, because Fox televises the NFC.
Therefore, we will always televise the Patriots when they are available to us.
This Sunday, we have what is perceived as our first conflict of the season.
The Giants-Jets game is a CBS game, because the rule is, the Network of the road team televises the game. The Jets are the road team so it’s a CBS game.
The Giants-Jets game is at 1:00pm. The Patriots-Browns game is at 1pm.
Now, let’s go back to the first line of my blog.
Channel 3, WFSB, is the Patriots station in the Hartford/New Haven market.
If the Patriots were a Sunday night, or a Monday night game, we would’ve been showing you the Giants-Jets game Sunday. Because the two games go head, it’s bad luck for Giants and Jets fans in our viewing area.
The best I can do for you is extended hilights Sunday in my sportscasts at 6:30 and 11:00.
