With NFL's regional coverage, a San Antonio team would more than likely cut out several Texans and Cowboys Sunday afternoon broadcasts on Fox or CBS in San Antonio. San Antonio gets Cowboys and Texans broadcasts during the 11 AM and 3 PM CT time slots. The chart shows that the Cowboys have far more to lose in TV ratings/exposure if San Antonio were to get a franchise (assuming that team would get a normal geographic broadcast region).

Even as I-35 cities like New Braunfels, San Marcos, Kyle-Buda expand, it would take quite awhile before Austin and San Antonio merge into one TV market.

Like 10 years max? I drive it quite a bit and San Antonio and Austin are rather quickly getting to be quite contiguous.

It will be pretty interesting to see which major sports league comes to Austin/San Antonio next - two decent sized markets destined to become a top ten metroplex...

Maybe not but most people here are Spurs fans over Mavs or Rockets and the drive from Austin to SA is extremely smooth.
