I have no idea what you mean. Yates County USED to be part of the Syracuse TV market, it is now part of Rochester, where it should have been. The NFL says channel 5's signal reaches Monroe County, and that's why we're blacked out. Yates County has nothing to do it with anymore.
I was quoting a comment from that url you posted.I am not in that part of NY so I have no clue.Read way down at the bottom of your url,It is what I copied and pasted.

I KNEW that was gonna happen... The fans hopped of the *dawn of a new era* bandwagon WEEKS ago! However, I am stoked at the possibility of watching a Jets game at home without going somewhere with the NFL Ticket to view it!

"Come on Man",what wrong Mr. Wilson giving on his lowly bills,who should move to Canada,i have to get
Direct T.V. Been sick of watching the 3 so called NY teams,giants,jets,and bills.They should change this rule.

Just another reason why Central New Yorkers don't support the Bills. They go with either the Giants or Jets if they want a "New York" team or someone else across the nation. the NFL and Buffalo only ruin it for themselves.

Good we can watch a decent football team

The dolphins are a good team,its Marone and his high school bills players.

it's about time we aren't subjected to the Bills. I'm hoping for a technology that allows us to choose the game we want to see

I'm suprised Syracuse is considered a local market for the Bills. I guess CNY is Buffalo Bills country. That's too bad.

The reason is Syracuse and Buffalo fought over the rights to air locally in Yates County. Syracuse won, but since the county is 45 minutes from Buffalo it needs to be blacked out, so all of Syracuse gets the black out because of one little county in western NY.
