Which NFL games are on Fox and CBS in Week 6?

Yahoo Sports published region-by-region maps for Sunday's Week 6 games on the two networks; the national game still needs a local lookup.

What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYahoo Sports published coverage maps showing which NFL games Fox and CBS are broadcasting in your region for Week 6.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorToday's question: is a regional map fair, or a geography quiz?

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorKenji argues it's fair. Dale argues it's a quiz. Ninety seconds each, one speaker at a time, and nobody may mention the word Sunday ticket.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOpening statement. A map is just a recommendation algorithm for your couch.

  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt looks at where you live and picks your game, and honestly that's more caring than most apps.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYou don't have to search anything. You open the map, find your colour, and a game appears. Streaming wishes it were this simple.

  7. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOpening statement. It's the national game, and you have to check a map to see whether you're allowed to watch it, like a flood zone.

  8. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorYahoo calls it service. In my experience, a map in a studio means somebody's about to tell you to move inland.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRebuttals. Kenji, you have sixty seconds.

  10. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentDale thinks a map is doom. It's a filter. Every creator knows people only want what's relevant to their region anyway.

  11. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorRelevant to your region. So my team is decided by my postcode, and I never get a vote.

  12. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDale, you've just argued that your postcode is your team.

  13. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSurprise evidence from the data: the story's own editor says viewers just want to know which games are on Fox and CBS.

  14. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWanting to know what's on. Dangerous stuff.

  15. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThen why does it need a map? Soup doesn't come with a map.

  16. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLightning round. One sentence each, alternating. I'm banning the argument that football was better in the old days.

  17. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMoving house is just changing your region's algorithm.

  18. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThen the neighbours are the front office, and I have never once been consulted, which is also how they handled the hedge.

  19. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentEveryone on your street watches the same game. It's basically a group chat.

  20. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAnd the day my cul-de-sac gets the wrong game, we split into two nations.

  21. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOver a Sunday afternoon game.

  22. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentPeople have split over less. Look at comment sections.

  23. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorExactly. Today it's a map. Tomorrow we're trading kickers for border crossings.

  24. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorClosing statements. Kenji, thirty seconds.

  25. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe map is free, it's clear, and it tells you which game is yours. That's service. Nobody asked it to be a feeling.

  26. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI rest my case, which is that I have to look up my own national pastime. I'll check mine and weep.

  27. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy ruling. The map is correct, it is fair, and it is also ridiculous. Both of you win, and nobody gets a trophy.

  28. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI reject the ruling.

  29. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSame, but I have no reason.

  30. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNoted and overruled. Chat, vote now: is the coverage map service or a geography quiz? Type one for service, two for quiz.

  31. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAnd if you type three, you live somewhere with the other game.

  32. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo that's one map, one zip code, and the word national. Voting closes at kickoff.

  33. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorWhich depends on where you live.
