Chiefs avoid blackout; others not as fortunate

Chiefs officials say enough tickets have been sold to avoid a local television blackout of Saturday night's preseason game against the Houston Texans.
The game will be televised live at 7 p.m. on Channel 5.
Other teams are not as fortunate. And this might be the sign of the times for the 2009 season.
The Chiefs haven't had a regular-season home game blacked out since 1991, a string of 149 straight games.
Maybe that strategy of requiring fans to buy exhibition game tickets if they want tickets to the Pittsburgh or Dallas regular-season games is working.

That is a good question, I was going to try and find that link again, the game is not on here in my area.

my cable provider doesn't get sunday ticket so i go to a bar which is full of DONKEY and Viking fans but its funny they are televised on our local station (cuz they're so close) but they still feel the need to take up 5 out of the 8 tv's and watch their games they can watch at home
