Harrisburg is 79 miles to Baltimore. That should fall out of the viewing area. The Capital of the state is showing an out of state team over a PA team. And the out of state team is our rival. Complete bull. Give PA residents want we want and show the Steelers every week.

 They will all move here if they know that Harrisburg is going to show their sports teams. Who would want to live in Balimore?

York County has more Steeler fans. It is along the state line where these Baltimorons move to. Maybe if fuel goes back up to to $4.50 they will move back.

If I could pick up the Steelers game when there is a Steelers/Ravens broadcasting conflict with an antenna, I would put one on my roof JUST to pick up the games.  Unfortunately, I think the nearest station that would broadcast all Steelers games (currently) is in Altoona.  Ravens fans in the York area can easily pick up the games with an antenna from Baltimore, so you have NO REASON to complain when CBS 21 broadcasts the Steelers games when Baltimore has a home game at the same time the Steelers are playing. Just watch the game on a Baltimore station - Its not like a few hundred Ravens fans watching another station is going to hurt the Harrisburg station's ratings (compaired to the thousands in the Steeler Nation).

I HATE having to go to a crowded sports bar to watch the Steelers, but until the NFL gets their proverbial heads out of their you-know-whats and listen to the fans that pay their saleries, I'll be heading out to watch the game when CBS 21 cannot show it.  I am sure that they would rather show the Steelers than the Ravens because their ratings for Steelers games is MUCH higher than when they have to show the Ravens.

York Steeler, unfortunately, the mileage is not from Baltimore to Harrisburg.

Its from Baltimiore to this television "market;" which is defined as the Harrisburg/York/Lancaster/Lebanon market.

Because this market includes York, we fall within the 75 mile radius.

Here is the point !we in south central PA not only get PA stations . We also get MD stations like 2 and 11 . Those are the stations to see the ravens on ! The ravens should not be on 21 thats is a PA stations and should just carry the Steelers !I am not ignoring the Eagle fans here either . But i understand that the NFL and FOX always have carried the NFC games .So the Ravens should just be carried on there stations from MD . And station 21 should carry the 6 TIME SUPER BOWL CHAMPION AND TRUE AMERICAS TEAM , THE  PITTSBURGH STEELERS !!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure where you steelers fans are getting your information about there being more steelers fans than ravens fans in south central pa. I live in York and while I do see a lot of steelers logos around, I see a lot more ravens fans (though admittedly this means absolutely nothing - just like your observations).

While I do get a couple MD tv stations, I don't get a MD cbs affiliate, so being a ravens fan living so close to baltimore, I get frustrated that I can't watch my team.

How about this. I understand that you have to show raven's away games (and I don't understand the idea that we could just go to home games when they sell out in 5 minutes, but we'll let that go for now), but how about when the ravens are home you show the better game. I know that's not always easy to figure out, but when the Ravens/Bengals were playing for first place in the afc north a few weeks ago and the steelers were playing the either the browns or lions (can't remember which, but does it really mantter)... I mean come on!

And this week... you're really showing the steelers/chiefs over the ravens/colts? Really?

LOL, good point RavensTrue.   I don't understand why PA. people think they are so much better the those of us from MD. and not everyone from MD. are "thugs"...fyi you have them here also! It's typical for a Steeler fan to  be rude to Raven fans, they learn it from their team that always has to talk smack. You all hate the Ravens because in the division they are really your only competiton! And one last thing, when the Ravens had their "free" kick off party at Power Plant live in MD. where you got free concerts I seen Steeler fans there taking advantage of it..and remember I said it was the "RAVENS" party..if you hate us so much and are such loyal steeler fans then why didn't you drive yourselves to pittsburg and go to your own teams kick off party? Goes to show you don't mind us when you can get something you want from us for free! Hope you didn't encounter any "thugs" while you were down there...lol
