NFL.com to show blacked-out games free in local markets on delayed basis
Live In-Progress Coverage of All Games Available on Both NFL Network's NFL RedZone & DirecTV's Red Zone Channel Highlights Available Immediately After Games on NFL.com and Sprint and For Download Following Day on iTunes and Amazon.com NFL Network's NFL Replay to Encore Four Games Each Week NFL games that are blacked out in home team markets this season will be shown on NFL.com in their entirety on a delayed basis, the NFL announced Thursday. The league's new NFL Game Rewind package on NFL.com will make all games available on an on-demand, subscription basis throughout the 2009 regular and postseason. However, games blacked out locally for failing to sell out 72 hours in advance will be available on NFL.com at no cost in the affected home markets. These free "re-broadcasts" locally of blacked-out games will be available at NFL.com beginning at midnight on the day of the game and remain available for 72 hours (except during ESPN Monday Night Football telecasts). "We understand that the economy is limiting some families and corporations from buying as many game tickets as they had previously," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "These free re-broadcasts on NFL.com will allow our fans that can't get to a blacked-out game an opportunity to see the entire game." Following are other ways fans can see NFL game action: * NFL Sunday Ticket on DirecTV carries all Sunday afternoon games (local blackout rules apply). * The Red Zone Channel on DirecTV and NFL Network's NFL RedZone channel -- available on other satellite, cable and telco providers -- will provide live coverage from inside the 20-yard line as it happens during all Sunday afternoon games, with no game highlights blacked out. * NBC's Sunday Night Football game will also be streamed live on NBCSports.com and NFL.com. * Postgame highlights of all games are available immediately after each game on NFL.com and NFL Mobile Live on Sprint. In addition, fans can download extended highlight packages the day after each game on iTunes and Amazon.com. * NFL Network's NFL Replay will re-air the four best games of the weekend (two on Tuesday and two on Wednesday in primetime) in a fast-paced, 90-minute format with bonus NFL Films footage, wired sound from the field, and coaches' commentary. * NFL Network's NFL Replay Highlights video-on-demand product is available a few hours after each game, featuring extended highlights of every NFL game produced with NFL Films' signature audio and cinematic elements. |

Because players get a cut of the gate per the CBA. First 50% goes to players and makes the cap numbers...the rest is split to the teams except for "premium seating".

Don't think so. I'm pretty sure it's something like any station broadcasting from within 75 miles of the stadium gets blacked out. So KC and Topeka would be blacked out, but that's it.

No you will be fine. If you live outside of the 75 mile radius of the stadium you shouldn't be affected.

To clarify, it has to do with where the station is broadcast from rather than where a person physically lives. You could live 200 miles away, but if you get your TV feed from Kansas City, you're still screwed.

They should offer black-out games on pay-per-view.

No shit. All this is just peachy, but I'm on Time Warner and they don't offer the NFL channel. Has anyone heard if they are making progress, that's just F'N stupid

It will never happen until the NFL lets them put it on a special extra pay tier.. Basically they want TW to pay a lot of money for it and put it on the basic tier, TW wants to make money off of it also and wants to put it on the premium tier..

The NFL needs to start offering live games "ala carte" each week on NFL.com
Charge $10 -$15 bucks a game, a month, whatever... they would make a killing. |

Never have understood why they only let DTV do Sunday Ticket. It seems like they would make more if they let the cable companies do their own version of it then they could break it down even further, for displaced fans instead of getting all of the Ticket, let them get the games for just their teams and then like you suggested, do a ppv each week or a month as well.
