Dolphin Game no on in Orlando this Thursday

[CpuFan]

Instead of the Fins the Orlando market is seeing the following games, rats...

NFL Preseason Football: Jacksonville Jaguars at Atlanta Falcons on ch 6 WRBW

NFL Preseason Football: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Houston Texans on ch 7 WFTV

I guess it's the dreaded tape delay on the NFL Network, I hate watching it they cut
out parts of the game to make it fit in a 3 hour window.

Can't believe I live in a city in which we're obligated to watch the Jaguars. That's just terrible.

I wouldn't say "obligated". There's always the ticket or sports bars.

Plus with the rules on the secondary market, the local CBS station can sometimes sneak in a game or two.

Yep the replays are a drag I agree. They edit them to make them fit. I think it was the Jags game, after the end of the first QTR they went to break and return with something like 8 mins left in the 2nd QTR!!

You would think in a preseason game when they need to edit for time, they would edit out the third or fourth string players in the third qt.

Now, remember. Always call CBS and complain about not getting Dolphin games. They then go to the NFL with the number of complaints they receive during the course of the year and try to get Orlando OUT of the Jag's market. If no one calls, we'll stay part of the Jag's market.

So Central Floridians, if you want your Dolphins, you need to call the station and complain EVERY game that is not televised.

Many people have called the local CBS station and complained about not receiving The Dolphins games. When the station has tried to show the Dolphins instead of the Jags, they were threatened with losing their rights to show any NFL game. Last year in the Orlando Sentinel, they ran an article on the subject in which one of the NFL representatives said that Orlando is a secodary market of Jacksonville and needs to get over it.
