Some markets on the east coast feed may be airing the 4:05 games (we won't know which one until the Tuesday before the 30th) but for most places who take the CBS east coast feed, the game will start on time.
(CBS has scheduled a one hour rodeo broadcast after the NFL, and local news and programming will then air until 60 Minutes at 7pm. That's one reason why we know TAR is expected to start on time that night for most east and central time zone markets.)

Except if your 405pm game to Eastern Time Zone cities runs past 7pm, which several of them could.

Cincinnati at Jacksonville, Oakland at Denver, and Miami at Arizona are the 3 games being broadcasted on CBS at the 4:05 Timeslot. So the Miami, Cincinnati, and Jacksonville markets will most likely have delays. Other than those markets, CBS should broadcast early games on the East Coast feed. So in general, most markets on the east coast feed should receive TAR on time.

theschnauzers:
We'll know more about which CBS markets are getting those games around Tuesday of next week. CBS and the NFL don't decide which other markets will get the late afternoon games until then. (Example West Palm Beach, Ft. Myers and some central Florida markets (and central Texas) might get the Dolphins game (and central Texas because the rookie starting quarterback graduated from Texas A&M); that's one reason why I don't want to discuss specific markets until the programming information becomes available.

DrRox:
I agree with you the_schnauzers......we need to wait till next week to see just what CBS will decide.

One thing they will not do is to show the Mia game @ College Station. College Station is a secondary market of the Houston Texas. The Texan game will most certainlly be sold out and that game will be shown in College Station. You idea is excellent, just a bad example. Central Texas (Waco/Austin) is a different story. Waco is a secondary market of the Cowboys...but Dallas plays on Monday night....so they might pick up the Houston game too. Austin will probably pick up the Houston game too....just depends on how CBS decides to spread out their games that day. Since CBS doesn't have to worry about conflicts with the Dallas markets....I would assume they will flood all of the Texas CBS markets with the Texans game.

Which brings me back to the your orginal statment....we just need to wait a week and see what CBS decides. We can speculate forever...and it wont make much difference.

Jimmer:
I will agree with all that. I was making a general statement that most markets will not be delayed. If you are a football fan, you should know which game you will get. I live in Iowa and I am 99% sure I will get the Kansas City game on CBS at the 1:00 P.M. timeslot. This is following the typical trends in my area.

I will agree that the only way to know for sure is to wait and see what CBS decides.

Magnus:
If today's late games are any indication, TAR will be starting late in the coming weeks. It is 19.55 EDT and the PIT/OAK game is not yet over.
