NFL announces 13 Thursday Night games next season!

[Disinfranchised]

If you don't have NFLN, the team's local market will carry the game.

Why would anyone get TWC in the first place? My same $54 a month package with Dish would cost over $120 with TWC (counting HD DVR boxes, etc)

The "local market" does not reach summerfield. I guess I could use the money I spend on my season tickets to pay a Direct TV bill. I could get the best package they have and still have money left over. Shoot, if you add in the gas, food, hotels and stadium beer money, I could take a small vacation as well.

shouldn't really effect anything.

If you live in the Charlotte market......you get every game (regardless of having NFLN or not)

If you live outside the Charlotte market you rarely get the games to begin with.

I live in Summerfield NC. I only get the games that are on Fox, NBC and CBS. The "local market" is Charlotte stations.

and this children is an example of when corporate scamming is successful

What are you talking about? No different than any other show that comes on locally Tuesday/Thursday nights. I'm not paying a dime extra.

This is awesome. I hate the short week of prep for the teams, but I love having an extra game. I mean, I'm going to have to start DVRing Grey's Anatomy, but that's ok I guess.

So Time Warner does not have the option to add NFLN? Sucks for you guys.

No, TWC does not offer the option for NFL Network. It sucks pretty badly. I would have DirecTV, but they can't install in my town house and get a good enough signal because of the roof like or something. I was going to get everything I have with TWC, plus NFLN and DVR AND DirecTV cinema for $34.99/month for 1 year. Oh well.

Last year when the commish visited Panthers training camp someone asked him about NFLN and TWC. He basically deflected the question from what I remember. Nothing to see here.

What we are saying is that when the Panthers play on NFLN, the game WILL be shown on one of those stations IF you get them on Sundays. If you don't then you wouldn't get to see them anyway (unless you had Sunday Ticket)

Time Warner and NFLN can't agree on a deal, TW saying the extra fee is too much for their customers and would be unfair, oh the irony.

well, I don't know exactly.....

but if you are getting every Panther game on Sunday afternoon......I would assume your area also would get the broadcast for a Panther Thursday night game on either CBS or Fox.

Pretty sure we had a Thurs night game on NFLN since I have been in Columbia, SC......and the local station here aired it.

Nope. No more Monday Night NFL or Thursday. Only Sunday games. Unless I want to buy NFLN and ESPN. Spent thousands on tickets and can't even watch the away games.

It's getting to be a choice. I can rebudget the ticket money and buy the best Direct TV has to offer.

Not in the Greensboro area.

Ok let me try to ask this a different way- Are you able to watch the Panthers on Sundays?

games that air on NFLN on Thurs.....are aired for the local market on standard channels. Always have been unless they are changing something.

[CRA]

Not in the Greensboro area.

so you haven't been getting Panther games every Sunday at 1 or 4? If you do.....then I don't see how you are in a different scenario than I.

[Disinfranchised]

Yes.

[Dpantherman]

Yes.

Then you are fine. If you get the games on local TV then you get them when they play on NFLN. They show pregame and everything. ESPN is a different story.
