Your Week 17 Television Maps

Well Falcons fans, it’s certainly been a wild ride through the 2009 television season. If you’re lucky you’ve seen some funny moments on broadcasts (maybe even a lineman pulling a little kickoff duty). We’ve seen triumphs and defeats before audiences large and small. Now it’s time to make plans for one final weekend of Falcons football before [...]

Your Week 16 Television Maps

Two games remain in the Falcons 2009 season and they will likely be shown to smaller audiences. Such is the case for teams with no spot in the playoffs facing opponents with losing records. This week, according to rule, the Falcons game will be on CBS. The visiting team dictates which network the game will be [...]

Your Week 15 TV Distribution Maps

We’ve reached the point in the season where more games are played on days other than Sunday. Take, for example, Thursday’s game between the Colts and Jaguars, Saturday’s game between the Saints and Cowboys (Falcons playoff implications galore) and Monday night’s game featuring the Giants and Redskins (even more Falcons playoff implications). Next week a Friday [...]

Your Week 14 Television Maps

I have a bad habit when it comes to these NFL television distribution maps. Each week, like a child on Christmas morning, I open the links and find the games televised in Atlanta for the coming weekend. At this point I remember it doesn’t matter what games are before/after or opposite the Falcons game. I’m working. There’s [...]

Maps and Notes for Week 12 Television

Two things are certain on Thanksgiving: I’ll fall into a food comma at some point because of Mrs. J. Mike’s delicious cooking. The Lions will play (and probably lose). Before I turn on the office television to watch a little Thanksgiving pigskin and, later, go home to a feast, I’ll detail a little about the weekend television schedule. (It’s [...]

Week 11 Television Notes (and Maps)

Time for a little behind-the-scenes info… Each week NFL teams and their public relations departments schedule conference calls or production meetings between key coaches and players and members of the broadcast crew. Some are longer than others. In the case of this week’s Falcons-Giants game, it may be little more than a cup of coffee and “how [...]

Week 9 Television Notes

It seems like a month since the Falcons last played in the Georgia Dome. In fact, the span between an Oct. 18 victory over the Chicago Bears and Sunday’s game against the Redskins is exactly 21 days. And the road games between weren’t too kind to the Falcons. In a blink the Falcons went from 4-1 to [...]

NFL Television Notes: Week 5

Skipped a week because of the Falcons bye. It’s too early to call this week’s game between Atlanta and San Francisco a must win, but with the heart of the schedule coming up — and Head Coach Mike Smith never losing back-to-back games — it’s easy to gauge the importance. With that, FOX has awarded the teams [...]

Sizing Up Falcons and 49ers

Not to sound like a broken record, but in order to do well this weekend in San Francisco the Falcons will need to pay attention to the run game and look to stop, what else, the run. The 49ers play in one of the weaker divisions — statistically — in the NFL, but the 3-1 record [...]

NFL Television Notes: Week 3

This is where national attention is gained. The Falcons travel to New England this weekend to face the Patriots. In case you haven’t heard of Tom Brady and Co., do some Google searches on “Super Bowl MVPs.” In other words, this is a game against a marquee opponent in a large media market. With that, comes [...]
