Out-of-Town Steelers Fans Out of Luck for Texans TV Broadcast
Out-of-town Pittsburgh Steelers fans will largely be out of luck when it comes to viewing this Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.
The Steelers and Texans will kick off at 1 p.m. on Sunday on CBS, with local affiliate KDKA carrying the game in Pittsburgh. Spero Dedes and Adam Archuleta will be on the call.
But outside of Pittsburgh, your chances of seeing the game are pretty slim. According to 506 Sports, CBS affiliates in Scranton and Erie, Pennsylvania, throughout West Virginia and most of Texas will be airing the game, but that is about it. Even in Texas, those in the Dallas and El Paso markets will get other games.
Fans in other locations can purchase NFL Sunday Ticket from YouTube TV. That package is in its first season of being available purely as a streaming service. It had previously been available through DirecTV.
As always, the game will be broadcast on the Steelers Radio Network, with flagship 102.5 WDVE-FM carrying the call of Bill Hillgrove, Craig Wolfley and Max Starks. NFL radio broadcasts are available nationally with a subscription to NFL Plus or Sirius XM Radio.
This week’s Thursday Night Football game on Amazon Prime Video features the Detroit Lions at the Green Bay Packers.
There is a bonus national game this week, as the Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars are playing in London at 9:30 a.m. Eastern on Sunday. That game is available only on ESPN+.
On Sunday, Pittsburgh fans will have the option of flipping over to see the Cincinnati Bengals at the Tennessee Titans on FOX (WPGH). The late afternoon game is also on FOX, with WPGH carrying the New England Patriots at the Dallas Cowboys.
Sunday Night Football on NBC and WPXI will feature the Kansas City Chiefs at the New York Jets.
There is only one Monday Night Football game this week, with the Seattle Seahawks at the New York Giants broadcast on both ESPN and ABC. Tthe over-the-air Disney network is using the NFL games to help fill content vacancies created by the Hollywood writers and actors striking.
