As of now the Giants are the tentative game. We expect that to be confirmed
and posted on fox61.com tomorrow.
Once again we made a formal offer to carry both The Giants and Patriots on
Sunday. Once again we were refused and reminded that under the terms of the
network/NFL contract we had to pick one game. So the NFL schedule and their
TV contract puts us in the nasty position of having to choose between the
two teams we most want to carry.
We agree that geography maybe one reason why people watch games, but the
only important consideration is what game do fans in our area want to watch.
The only valid predictor of that is what people have been watching in the
last few weeks. Thus far this season, on Sunday afternoon, a few more
people have watched The Giants than the Patriots.
Thanks for your understanding and thanks for watching.

comments: Hey, why are you going to be showing the Giants-Eagles game
instead of the Saints-Patriots game? The Patriots are the local team and
should be shown here in Western Mass. You are the only FOX station that we
have in Western Mass. and the Patriots are the local team and that game
should be shown and not the Giants-Eagles game. Please consider showing the
Patriots, instead of the Giants.
Thank You
Josh
P.S. When will Western Mass. get it's own FOX station?
