Cowboys shown over Texans in Corpus Christi

[bckey]

Get ready south Texas Texan fans. KZTV (CBS) is doing their yearly screw Texan fans broadcast. They choose to show the Cowboys every time they play at the same time as the Texans when they play an AFC team. What a slap in the face. The Cowboys could be 0-10 and it would still happen. When the cryboys play an afternoon game against an AFC team KZTV will cut off the Texans game no matter how much time is left and show the cryboys. I HATE the Cowboys! Always will.

Thanks for the link Stemp. Didn't know it was that widespread. What a joke.

Yeah... but like I said, if the Texans win a Super Bowl, I think they will make big strides in narrowing the gap in viewers and popularity.

I'm not so sure. The homerism for the Cowpatties is just ridiculous.

I feel your pain. I've got my 2,000lb projectiles loaded up with 4 power bags each, ready to go. KEYE sucks.

I realize they are making the move that brings in the most viewers AND the Texans need to win more + the FO needs to market these markets (for once) while the iron is hot, but I still think it is in our best interest to voice our displeasure.

FIRE!

I contacted the Texans trying to get some sort of response and I got Nada, Zip, Zilch absolutely no response. KEYE responded with

I also agree, that in previous years Cowboys had a much bigger hold on the market, ratings from this year prove that more Austinites prefer to watch Dallas. An example of this is October 21, we had the Texans game at noon and Fox had a Cowboy game at noon. We pulled an 8.5 rating, Fox pulled a 13.7 rating.

I am sorry you are unhappy with us, but I do appreciate the feedback.



I hope you have a wonderful day,

Do the Texans even have a PR and Media Relations Department?

This has nothing to do with PR or Media relations. Like I mentioned in another thread, it only has to do with ONE thing - the RATINGS. And as Lisa mentioned in her reply to you, the Cowboys pull higher ratings outside of Houston than the Texans do. It's not good, it's not bad, it's just the way it is. I'm also sure the games she was talking about were BAL@HOU on CBS vs DAL@CAR on Fox. The Texans game was much more of a high profile game, yet that broadcast got beaten out by the Cowboys.

Until the Texans expand their fan base and start beating the Cowboys in the ratings, this will happen EVERY TIME a TV stations is faced with the choice.

There is no need to get upset or too excited about it. Save your health and accept it for what it is - a business decision.
