Orlando TV Station Apologizes For Airing Jaguars Game
Not exactly Iowa related, but a TV station in Orlando, FL has apologized for airing a Jacksonville Jaguars game yesterday.
The Orlando TV market is deemed a "secondary market" for the Jacksonville NFL team and based on NFL rules, this station is required to carry all Jacksonville road games, and thus couldn't televise the "Manning Bowl" yesterday.
A secondary market is defined as any nearby TV market which is within 75 miles of an NFL stadium, regardless of how far away the studio that is televising the game. The Mason City/Austin/Rochester TV market is a secondary market for the Minnesota Vikings and is subject to black out in the event a Vikings home game does not sell out.
TV markets like Omaha & Des Moines which are greater than 100 miles from Kansas City are generally not deemed a secondary market for the Chiefs, only the Topeka and St. Joseph TV markets are a secondary market for the Chiefs.
The Orlando TV market is deemed a "secondary market" for the Jacksonville NFL team and based on NFL rules, this station is required to carry all Jacksonville road games, and thus couldn't televise the "Manning Bowl" yesterday.
A secondary market is defined as any nearby TV market which is within 75 miles of an NFL stadium, regardless of how far away the studio that is televising the game. The Mason City/Austin/Rochester TV market is a secondary market for the Minnesota Vikings and is subject to black out in the event a Vikings home game does not sell out.
