I'd rather all the "should we" threads than the weekly "Saints game in Shreveport" threads. Jesus, we already know Shreveport is Cowboy town.

Just try to avoid the ManU-Chelsea score so when you watch it at 1, the match won't be spoiled for you.

Hopefully, you can find a link online to the Saints game somewhere.

It's not. When they do polling for NW La viewers Saints beat Cowboys. KMSS is catering to the East Texas viewers who throw the entire viewing area numbers slightly to Cowboys.

I just emailed KMSS for an explanation. I just want to know why they aren't showing the game.

I doubt there will be a decent number of people watching Soccer over the NFL in the area.

They've already released that information. They say their Nielson ratings have been higher when they show Cowboys games over Saints games.

They will not be showing any Saints games when they conflict with Cowboys games. I think there is 5 of them. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Yes they do

This is a week when CBS has 2 games and Fox can only show 1

It's either the Saints at noon or the Cowboys at 3, can't be both. They picked the Cowboys.

I hate living in LA and have LA stations only to cater to texans. I already can't watch the Hornets because CST broadcast all their games.

The local CBS station sucks to as they have interrupted LSU games because it is just raining in east Texas.

I also hope Dallas loses every game too.

Hell, they've interrupted LSU games because it's raining in Nebraska.

Man I just moved to Shreveport a few months ago, I never even would have thought they wouldn't play the Saints games here. Makes me sick! Im so upset right now. If i had direct tv I would get sunday ticket but I have suddenlink. Im so pissed.

This is not a reflection of Shreveport (metro), I can guarantee you.

It can be directly related to the DMA spanning a large portion of TX, where obviously viewership is skewed in the direction of Dallas.

Well, obviously. But unfortunately, KMSS doesn't just broadcast in Louisiana. If they did, this wouldn't be an issue.
