Roanoke area Skins fans FOX 21/27 NOT airing game. CONFIRMED AA's @ Towers has game

[riggins44]

We just went through same problem with local Fox/NBC channel. There was a major organization of Redskin fans to vote for showing Redskin/49ers vs. Cowboys/Eagles.

Do to mobilization of Redskin nation we will get to see the game. Local Fox and NBC websites said they heard LOUD and clear from Redskin fans.

TK...I sent an email as well from viewpoint of advertiser.

FYI-I'm on the eastern shore right, with the same problem. Fortunately, I can tune in to CH95 (WTTG) on Comcast to catch the DC broadcast and see the game. Our regular FOX5 is showing the Dallas/Philly game.

Thanks Gary. You're the man.

What did you guys out there do to get them to switch over?

Thanks for the link. I just reposted my mail to 21/27 on there.

Torch whipped up something we can use if enough of you guys show any intrest in a protest.

I whipped this up as it sums up my feelings.

Do or do not. There is no threaten.

Is there any word of progress being made here?

Parking lot protest rally at FOX 21/27 on Colonial & then catch the game at AA's at Towers since AA's is right there at Colonial Ave. Due to the relative close location of each, I think that would make the most sense.

Who's up for it?

Are you sure they will be airing the game?

You obviously can never know these days.

But I'm up for it. I get off work at 2 tomorrow so.. I could probably head out there shortly after that.

Any progress known at all? I'm about to die with the worry of not seeing the game.

Like I said earlier, if you really want to see the game, go to a sports bar.
I know it sucks, but at least you will see it.

It has been confirmed that Awful Arthur's at Towers will have the Skins game.
