A few people have asked if FOX 11 will be carrying any of the New York Jets games this season.
The short answer is "no."
And here's the explanation:
In general, for interconference games, the network of the visiting (NFC on FOX, AFC on CBS) team airs the contest. Each team hosts two such contests each season.
Some, of course, could end up on national television - such as being a game on Sunday night, Monday night, or NFL Network. That's not the case, however, for the Brett Favre-led Jets' games against NFC teams.
However, both times the Jets host NFC teams (Arizona on Sept. 28 and St. Louis on Nov. 9), those games are the same time as Green Bay Packers games on FOX. Our obligation, as a home market team, is to air the Packers games, of course.
