I looked around to find out what channel to watch the game tonight. Here in ND it's always Fox network. I don't see anything that says they are going to televise it tonight. Hate to miss the game but anyone know who is televising the game? 6 pm right?

The Quad-Cities (Iowa/Illinois Border) WHBF-4 is broadcasting it live. ( :smilevike: :smilevike: ) They are a CBS affiliate. You might check your local CBS channels...

PS - it starts at 6PM - yes...

I know the NFL Network plays every single pre-season game. But not live. Like the Vikings/Houston game was played at 11pm

I think the Vikes/Buffalo game will be on NFL Sunday morning this weekend. I plan to listen to the radio broadcast tonight since I won't be able to see the game.

You're right, Jim. We're getting the full game here in the Los Angeles area early Sunday morning on the NFL Network.

Unfortunately, I will have to wait until then to see the game. But it's better than not seeing it at all.

I agree... and that's the situation we out-of-state fans faced every preseason before NFL Network started re-broadcasting all of the preseason games.

For some reason I get Vikings games on two different channels. It doesn't always happen in the regular season but it does during the preseason. I usually get lucky and have 3 different games at once (not that I can really watch others when the Vikes are on...but still, nice to have!). :thumbsup: I have FOX and two CBS channels--one from Iowa and one from Wisconsin. I'll take it. :D

You guys don't watch online or at some bar when you're desperate? I do. I don't like to, but I refuse to miss a game live and be forced to have to watch it later. That just wouldn't work for me. Boo! Y'all are much more patient than I am. :lol:

It was on last week on the local Fox networks here in ND. I am guessing it will be on tonight. I know the few times I have always looked at my onscreen guides it usually isn't listed. But it is usually on.

Guess I should have read the whole thread. :lol: glad I read this as I would have started watching at 7 and missed pretty much what I wanted to see. Better get my work done as I gotta get in an hour earlier tonight!

If you can catch it on TV, you can always buy the preseason package on NFL.com, it's starts off around $20 bucks and the price goes down every week. Not only you get to see live games from every NFL team but you get to watch all the replays from this season and preseasons in the past. Not a bad deal if you ask me.

I go to watch regular season games at a bar sometimes but I usually drop $20+ when i do that and preseason games aren't worth the expense when I can listen to them live and watch 'em later.
