Yes and no. KCTV sells the Chiefs football package...that is x-spots for 16 games. The question comes down to are you making enough to cover your cost of buying unused tickets from the road and home sellouts. No rates for anything else are ever set by football games. Prime time and special events set their own rates...that's why we have have sweeps. The Chiefs ratings 12:00 to 6:00 depending on kickoff has nothing to do with the ad price of The Ellen DeGeneres Show...3:00 on KCTV...same time slot.
