Why does Tampa market get screwed out of the Dolphins game seemingly every week?

    Getting so annoying. They play infomercials instead of a cbs early game like every week it seems after week 6-8.

    They're not allowed to play Dolphins games at the same time as Tampa Bay games. It's a messed up rule about Tampa being considered a "secondary market" for the Miami Dolphins and the NFL doesn't allow games to air in the secondary market if that market is a primary market of another team and they're playing at the same time.

    It was nice when the Bucs were constantly blacked out. When the Bucs are blacked out the rule is lifted and the Dolphins are allowed to be on.

    That's why I got Sunday ticket. Otherwise I'd be forced to watch the Jaguars. Lol

    It has been my experience with Sunday ticket that if a game is blacked out in your area, it includes Sunday Ticket as well. That really sucks and I'm in 3 blackout areas, Balt, Was and Phil. When the Fins played around here, if the game was blacked out locally then it was on Sunday Ticket as well. Maybe that has changed now.

    NFL RedZone is an option. Doesn't show every play but at least you get to see the Dolphins in the Redzone.
