Chargers, Bengals Are Able To Avoid Local Television Blackouts

The Chargers have announced that "enough tickets were purchased" to avoid a local TV blackout of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, which will air on KFMB-CBS at 1:25pm PT. The Chargers had the first blackout this season earlier this month (UTSANDIEGO.com, 12/26).

Meanwhile, the Bengals have declared Sunday's game against the Ravens a sellout, but the team "faces a tall task when it comes to the first playoff game." Bengals Dir of Sales & Public Affairs Jeff Berding said that 10,000-15,000 tickets remain for the first playoff game, "which is why the push to start selling has ramped up the past couple of days" (CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, 12/27).
