Regardless of how bad the Chiefs were in 1974, it’s hard to believe that their week 13 home game against the Oakland Raiders was not a sellout.

This is very similar to what happened a year earlier with CBS's coverage of the World Hockey Association or WHA during the playoffs in the LA area. For some context, the WHA was the rival league of the NHL during most of the 70's & the two leagues engaged in a war for players, TV contracts & new expansion markets. CBS had gotten the rights to cover the WHA after being dumped by the NHL in favor of NBC. Like what happened with the Chiefs, the LA Sharks were unable to sell out the LA Sports Arena for Game 6 of their first round playoff series with Houston which was going to be shown nationally on CBS & the game would be blacked out in LA. CBS's original plan was going to have the LA market get the other nationally televised playoff game between Cleveland & Philadelphia which was Game 5 of that series. However that series ended 2 days earlier when Cleveland won Game 4 so CBS decided that the LA market would get a rerun of the CBS Sports Spectacular (CBS's answer to ABC's Wide World of Sports) instead. However in a shocking twist, the CBS affiliate in LA decided to show the LA-Houston game anyway mainly because they wanted to support the Sharks in any way they could. There was also a sense of sticking it to the NHL's LA Kings since they had been rejected by them for a local TV deal. As for how the game would turn out, Houston would go on to win it & the series at the last minute 3-2. After that first season, CBS decided to step away from the WHA in favor of covering the NBA which they just acquired from ABC & wouldn't cover hockey again until the 1980 Stanley Cup Finals when they showed Game 6 between the Flyers & Islanders.

From what I've read, the blackout rule was put in place because many in Washington couldn't watch the Redskins/Packers 1972 Divisional Game.

When Washington politicians couldn't see the game, they started speechifying about removing the immunity from monopoly laws for the NFL. So the Redskins specifically needed to be playoff-bound before the NFL budged on the blackout rule. In fear, the NFL (Pete Rozelle) removed the rule "experimentally" for Super Bowl VII, so Washington residents couldn't watch the NFC Championship game either, unless they drove out of town.

JG, a suggestion: every video you say some version of "before we talk about X, we need some context about Y" and it kinda really drags on for something very obvious. Of course we know we need context, that's why we're watching a video on the topic. You could literally just start at "in 1974, Chiefs head coach Hank Stram had missed the playoffs in back to back years, and his magic was starting to wear off." It keeps the pace up and keeps your videos from sounding the same, especially since you post every day. Keep it up man!

Lawrence and Overland Park, Kan. are already in the Chiefs' primary DMA, so they were in the same situation as Kansas City, Mo. even without secondary DMAs such as Topeka, Kan. being blacked out. I wish CBS erroneously flipped the switch to give WTVT more Buccaneers home games when I was a kid.

Actually, the "six-hour window" was not true before 1979. That occurred after in Week 12 of the 1978 season, the Jets (against the Patriots) and Giants (against the Eagles in the infamous "Miracle in The Meadowlands" game), both playing at home at Shea Stadium and The Meadowlands respectively led to where viewers in New York DID NOT get a 4:00 PM ET game since neither game was expected to sell out in time (for the Giants, it was the closest they came to ending a long streak of sellouts that continued until the 1987 NFL strike while for the Jets, they had already failed to sell out one home game that season, something outside of the strike games hasn't happened since). After that season, one of the Jets or Giants would ALWAYS be scheduled for 1:00 PM and the other at 4:00 PM (except when the teams played each other) as the six-hour rule took effect for the 1979 season. One video I'd like to see JG9 do is about the infamous December 14, 1980 game where the then-winless Saints beat a 3-11 Jets team at Shea. This game was notable because on CBS it ONLY aired in New Orleans (and by all accounts, it was isolated from even The NFL Today halftime show from the game being on KZbin) because WCBS-TV (Channel 2) in New York chose NOT to air that game even though it was a sellout, choosing instead to air a then-St. Louis football Cardinals-Eagles game (that they did break away from in the second quarter for a moment of silence for John Lennon, who had been murdered the previous Monday night where near the end of regulation Howard Cosell told the world Lennon was killed). The close proximity of Philadelphia to NYC was why WCBS-TV chose to air the Eagles game in that instance, the last time that ever happened as the NFL changed the broadcast rules for 1981 where a home sellout had to be televised in the home market (with one highly notable exception in 1981 when an Oilers-49ers game on NBC could not be shown in the Bay Area because the Raiders played in Miami I believe that week that JG9 went into a while back).

My parents went to the first Monday Night Football game at Rich Stadium in Buffalo back in 1973, and it was against these fading Chiefs (Bills won handily). Minus that note, I KINDA get the draconian rule with blacking out home games so fans attend games, since if everyone just stays home to watch.... it's a "If a tree falling in the woods does it make a sound?" deal I guess, since the whole system breaks down if no one goes to the games, but we all have television for a reason as well. I don't know.

As for not switching back once mistake was realized, it wouldn't have negated the fact that the mistake happened. The rule was still broken. Breaking another rule to switch back would mean now 2 rules were broken. As for why no punishment, no party suffered financially from this error. It was a relatively new concept, mistakes happen. And it was a city closer to the 75 mile radius as opposed to the stadium.

Making all games "free agents" was the right call and I had been wanting the NFL to do that for many years. It gives the NFL more flexibility in giving the best matchups the most visibility possible. Having the constraints of conference affiliation would limit the league in many ways.

Wouldn't it have been the local affiliate that selected the wrong game and not the network. The network sends all their games up to satellite and the local affiliates are supposed to select the correct satellite&channel for rebroadcast. I would think the network would be uninvolved in this error, unless this Topeka station was one of the few stations that was owned by the network.
