SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) NFL makes broadcast changes, including single-header rule and playoff game kickoff times https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-makes-broadcast-changes-including-singleheader-rule-and-playoff-game-kickoff-times-165125881.html Single-header rule dropped The more welcome change will likely be the decision to drop the “single-header rule.” As explained by Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal, that means that all broadcast markets will get at least three games in the Sunday windows. So if, for example, you’re a Miami Dolphins fan living in Dallas and both the Dolphins and Cowboys are playing at 1 p.m. ET on CBS and Fox, you’ll get to see both games. In the past, the Dolphins game would have been blacked out in the Dallas market. This is a boon for fans who don’t want to shell out for Sunday Ticket and DirecTV, and those who live in markets that have multiple teams, like greater Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, New York or the Bay Area.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 24, 2019 Author Posted May 24, 2019 As to Sunday Ticket and DirecTV.... Your team has to be on the national broadcast to list be able to say no to NFLST Just now, Chandler#81 said: What does it matter? We only play 1 pm games.? Good point. I stand corrected

RiotAct Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 I like all three changes! also there was this: ” Fewer commercial breaks in Super Bowl NFL owners also announced something that had been reported earlier this month: Super Bowl LIV, to be broadcast on Fox, will have four commercial breaks per quarter, down from five per quarter in recent years.” Each break will be 30 seconds longer. But still.....

I'm confused. I've seen plenty of out of town games on CBS while the Redskins are playing on Fox at the same time. Did I not? Am I missing something?

I can assume that the National Broadcast for both CBS and FOX will be aired inmost markets while factoring in regional coverage) Washington and Baltimore share a market. Those in Virginia might miss out on the Ravens game because it would have been FOX's weekend to host the double header. Or if it was CBS's week the reverse in Baltimore. Again, my best guess
