Well, this makes it official. From 10TV's Twitter feed:
"@OconRecon NFL rules have CBS/@10TV with one game this week. #Ravens vs #Browns won't be seen here. http://t.co/KYGs48kx"
Bengals-Steelers To Play On 10TV On Sunday
COLUMBUS, Ohio - On Sunday, the playoff contending Cincinnati Bengals travel to Heinz Field to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Kickoff is at 1 p.m. and you can see the game on WBNS-10TV.
The game is the only one 10TV is allowed to carry because FOX Sports has the NFL doubleheader on Sunday.
Cleveland's game against Baltimore at 4:05 will not be seen on WBNS-10TV.
Because of NFL rules, we cannot air another game, even on our statewide cable partner, ONN; our digital channel, 10.2; or on 10TV.com.
The 10TV programming department has identified several conflicting weeks during the 2011 season when both the Browns and Bengals play.* The Steelers also have a strong following in central Ohio and are scheduled when possible after the Browns and Bengals.
Another common question asks why the station doesn't conduct polls on 10TV.com so viewers could decide the games they want to see.
"CBS and the NFL frown on this practice for many reasons, not the least of which are message boards that try and skew the poll to one side or the other," said Frank Willson, 10TV's director of operations.* "We analyze the ratings each Monday morning and try to track which teams are garnering the most viewers. This is the most accurate polling we have."
The 2011 NFL season on 10TV promises great action and an exciting finish with the AFC Championship airing on CBS. 10TV Programming plans to use every tool available to communicate with viewers including 10TV.com, Twitter and Facebook.
