Television Coverage Between The Arizona Cardinals And Cincinnati Bengals

by Josh Kirkendall on Dec 23, 2011 12:39 PM EST in Media

As we already know, anyone living within the Cincinnati market, or roughly a 75-mile radius from Paul Brown Stadium, won’t be able to sit with their beautiful families to watch the Cincinnati Bengals host the Arizona Cardinals on Christmas Eve. As a small token of generosity, Fox is offering the New York Jets and Giants in Cincinnati, which could have massive implications for the Bengals playoff run. As for the Bengals game, it won’t be on many television sets this weekend.

According to the distribution map from the506.com, those in central and southeastern Ohio will get the game, as will the entire state of Arizona (except for a small strip at the northeast edge of the state).. Check here to see if you’re within that area.

Due to (stupid) NFL rules, Cincinnati won’t get a late Fox game this weekend, not that we really wanted to see the Eagles and Cowboys. CBS will instead show the late game of the Detroit Lions hosting the San Diego Chargers.

DirecTV NFL Package

I’m a life long Bengals fan and currently live in the Chicago area. I watch all the Bengals game via the NFL package on DirecTV. Are the games blocked out in Cincinnati even with a paid subscription to the NFL package?

For the people in Cincy yes, for you no

always thought it was stupid the blackout applies to the directv package

otherwise i would have bought that package years ago.

" Mike Brown is the owner that Cincy doesn't deserve, not the one it needs..."

RE:

Agreed. You’re paying an arm and leg, so that should be enough compensation for the NFL and the teams.

DirecTV to go

Spending Christmas with my wife’s family in upstate NY. I’ll either be watching with DirecTV NFL-to-go on my laptop or my I-phone. This better work or it’s going to be a long day.

So I have a question...

I don’t know if anyone will know this, but if I have directTV nfl-to-go and I’m a subscriber in the cincinnati area, but I’ll be in northern indiana with some family, will I get the game on dircectTV to go since Im out of the black out area or will it be blacked out since my actual subscription is in Cincinnati?
