KCCI is going Vikings vs Bills over Chiefs/Broncos
What a joke. I've been able to watch the broncos twice this year. I guess at this point I don't really care much because of the way they are playing, but that's rediculous.
If you're going to e-mail, do it intelligently. The network makes the assignment. But if KCCI gets enough respectful, sane requests for the Chiefs game, it can ask CBS to switch. If a bunch of a-holes send a-hole e-mails, they will delete and ignore and you'll be stuck watching Favre on Sunday.
Looks like I might have to get the few Bills fans I know and all of the Vikes fans I know to email KCCI to counter this push.
My guess is that KCCI doesn't get to air Vikings games very often (NFC contract with FOX), so they are taking the opportunity to air it if they can.
KCCI has aired the Vikings at least once, maybe twice this year. I'm sure advertisers are just thrilled that their ads are going to be airing during a game that has 5 combined wins between the two opponents instead of a division rivarly game that's being played in the closet NFL stadium to Des Moines with the home team in contention to win their division.
Not sure why. The Bills are horrible, and for the past few years when the Chiefs were horrible, I knew why KCCI wasn't putting them on TV. I would think that you could see why this is a terrible decision by KCCI. To put two non-playoff contending teams on while they have the chance to put on a game with playoff ramifications, not to mention being a huge division rivalry game, is ridiculous at best.
I'm guessing that advertisers will be happier if their ads are seen by the larger audience that a Vikings/Bills game will generate than a Chiefs game. That would be the only reason for KCCI to show Vikings/Bills, better ratings.
