Steelers & Browns Fans in Erie Face Blackout This Week

By Tom Lavery

Erie-Meadville: Here's the situation for those living in the Erie TV Market. Fans of both the Browns & Steelers will not be able to see their respective games this Sunday on WSEE. Both games begin at 1pm, however Erie is in Buffalo's market and they must show their road game at the New York Jets at 4:15. To make matters worse, Fox has the double header while CBS can only show the 4:15 Buffalo game. This will definitely be a good week for Erie area sports bars & people who have Directv's "Sunday Ticket" can watch the 1pm games. This will also be an option for fans wanting to watch the Browns / Steelers rematch on November 11th. Fortunately, I am no longer living in the restricted "Buffalo Zone" and can watch all three games with a great rooftop antenna. Then again, I'll be going between the Steelers game & the Atlanta Nextel Cup race.

This rule has never made sense: and the games are not even at the same time this week. And I’m a Bills fan. Time for radio to step-up: these games are all carried by local AM stations, and they should market that. I’ve proposed it before: billboards screaming “No Blackouts,” with the team logo and the station logo.
