Redskins and Ravens Splitting Time on CSN

I didn't see this being discussed anywhere in the search I did so I thought it was worth posting.

Fans of Redskins Post and Pre-Game Live on CSN, which live in the Nielsen designated Baltimore region will now have Ravens Post Game Live butting heads with the programs.

“Ravens Postgame Live, a comprehensive 90-minute postgame show, will air following all regular season and playoff games during the 2011 season,” the release said.

Now, what makes this particularly juicy is that six times this year — in weeks 2, 11, 13, 14, 16 and 17 — the Redskins and Ravens are scheduled to play at the same time.

Now, there are some intricacies in here, but generally, I believe this means that people in Howard and Anne Arundel Counties will get the Ravens postgame show on CSN for those six weeks. Which is fascinating.

Wait, what?

So I wont be able to watch the Redskins every week on TV? Ill have to watch the Ravens sometimes?

Yeah this has been in the works for a while that CSN has wanted to separate Mid-Atlantic to Washington and Baltimore. There are two websites, though there is overlap. And there's been off and on talk of creating two networks eventually

This shouldn't impact you

It will, however, impact those of us living in Baltimore - dammit!

It's just the local pre and post game. Note that this does not mean you will miss any Redskins games (BUCKET).

Does anyone even care about post-game shows? When the 'Skins are done playing I move right on to the next NFL game in play.

What if its a 4 o'clock game????? You might have to get up and do something besides watch football, eat and drink all day!

You can catch the Sunday Night pregame show with their 10 analysts, which typically starts at around the time that the 4pm games are ending.

Or interact with the family. THE HORROR!!

Actually I spend that hour between 7-8 doing just enough chores to appease the wife, eating dinner, and reviewing the day's fantasy results. In that order. Going in any other order than that is not recommended.

But then it's right on to the NBC Sunday Night game. Man, talking about this is making me really excited for football!

Unless it's the Sunday night/Monday night games, if the Skins aren't on, I'm strictly Red-Zone Channel. I don't need to hear the likes of Joe Theismann talking pre/post game. The moment the clock hits 0:00, anything else I need on the Skins I can get online.
