zamboni Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Did I hear it right on the radio this morning that the games blacked-out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMITOUT Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 As expected, the Vikings game against Houston on Sunday at the Metrodome will be televised in the Twin Cities after CBS affiliate WCCO (Ch. 4) agreed to purchase the last “several hundred” ticketsWCCO already was planning a special postgame show and the number of high-priced political ads that will run during the game meant accepting a blackout would have been a bad business decision.The tickets bought by WCCO on Thursday will be donated to local military personnel and their families, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picksbigwagon Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 It's a shame that the multi-million dollar vikings organization or their multi million dollar players couldn't have bought out the rest of the tickets and given them to local military personnel and their families. I am the NFL frowns on something like that though.....Nice Job WCCO, there's another reason for me to continue watching their news........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zamboni Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 BTW, at least the Gophers are on a national televised game!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmannd Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Is the game on CBS this week? That would be why WCCO bought them up. Otherwise it's usually Fox that will buy they. Cheaper than loosing all the rev from not televising the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
