Week 3 NFL Television Coverage, Bucs at Patriots
According to preliminary listings the border war between fans of the Patriots and Giants in Connecticut continues, with Big Blue winning another battle. WTIC in Hartford is opting to air the 0-2 Giants at Carolina rather than the 2-0 Patriots versus Tampa Bay.
Here is an initial look at the stations that will be broadcasting the Pats game. Local stations do have the option of requesting a different game, so some of these local listings may change between now and Sunday. Kevin Burkhardt will call the play by play, John Lynch is the analyst, and Erin Andrews has the sideline duties. This marks the third straight week that the Patriots will be televised on a different network.
