NFL "Out of market games"???

[dharris]

An article on the Satellite Today website (http://search.pbimedia.com/search97c..._view_satn.hts) reported on a debate between XM and Sirius over which had the better business plan. What caught my attention was the statement that Sirius had entered into a "$220 million agreement to broadcast National Football League (NFL) games outside their home markets." Where did this come from? I never heard anything about "outside their home markets" before. If this is true, what is my home market? With Baseball and DirecTV, anywhere in Texas is the home market for both the Rangers and Astros. Even though I do not get their games on my local stations, I cannot get them on the MLB package. If the same goes for Sirius and the NFL package, I will be very disappointed.

Nothing to worry about. You will get all the games

Unlike Direct TV, I don't think Sirius has the ability to cut out games for certain subscribers... It would be too difficult. As in. I live in Arizona. The Cardinals game is not sold out, but I am driving through Texas. Because I have an arizona address, my game should be blocked out.. But i'm not in Arizona so it shouldnt'.....


But it doesnt' really matter anyway because NFL Blackout rules apply to Televised games anyway.
