Apparently KCCI is choosing to show the Chiefs - Dolphins game over the Super Bowl rematch of Denver - Seattle. This is the first regular season Super Bowl rematch since 1997. I understand the Chiefs are "local", but they are 0-2 and most would rather see the rematch.
What the Hell KCCI

pretty much.
It's seems like it's decided by the NFL and the parent networks based mostly on region

I still have my 3 months free of Sunday Ticket and Redzone! It is going to be miserable when my trial expires...
I am pretty sure in fly-by country local stations can make choices. I know in the past that they have picked one game over another.
Snooze. This just make me happy that I broke down and purchased Red Zone this year. No desire to watch the Chiefs as they slip back into irrelevancy.
Was kind of funny last year. Most people realized they were winning but it was because of a soft schedule. Showed in the playoffs.
There used to be a station, can't remember if Des Moines or CR, that let viewers vote online to choose which game they'd air. Seems like that'd be the way to go for today's viewer.
Here is the coverage map for Sunday. 90% of the nation gets the rematch, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa get the snooze fest.
I got the Sunday Ticket free this season and haven't watched a game. Maybe use it this weekend...
I'd rather watch an 0-2 Chiefs team than the Broncos period, let alone a Broncos team with Peyton Manning in it. Freaking ultra barf. I'd say Iowa got a good break here.
I dont think it really matters. Seattle will probably win pretty easily and the other game just plain sucks.
Im pretty sure stations pick who they want. Sucks being in iowa and getting freaking vikings bears chiefs packers games every week when youre not a fan of those teams.
