NFL broadcast coverage maps, Week 4: Saints at Lions
Will your local Fox affiliate be broadcasting the New Orleans Saints game this week? If you don’t live in the New Orleans or Detroit markets, probably not.
That’s illustrated in Week 4’s broadcast maps from 506sports, which has Saints-Lions coverage shown in yellow where we’ve embedded it below. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and large swaths of Georgia and the Florida panhandle will be receiving the next Saints game, as will Michigan and most of its Upper Peninsula (though a few localities along the Minnesota border will be watching Vikings-Texans, denoted in green).
Additionally, this will be the first Saints game that Jonathan Vilma will be working for Fox Sports since leaving ESPN earlier this year. He’s teamed up with Kenny Albert on play-by-play in the booth, offering his input as an analyst. The Saints and Lions will be kicking off at noon.
This week’s map is hardly unanimous. With six different games to be shown on Fox Sports across the country, various affiliates will be splitting interests to a fairly wide degree. Most of America will be tuned in to Browns-Cowboys, marked in red:
The other games shown in the New Orleans market this week include a double-header on CBS, with the Buccaneers and Chargers playing early followed by Chiefs-Patriots. The Eagles and 49ers will continue their wars of attrition on “Sunday Night Football” while the Falcons and Packers prepare for Monday night’s game.
