Tennessee Titans Game Broadcast Issues Raise Concerns

There have been ongoing concerns regarding the broadcast availability of Tennessee Titans games, particularly in certain regions of the state. According to Music City Miracles, this week's game has raised significant issues, as it will only be broadcast in middle Tennessee, leaving many fans in East and West Tennessee unable to watch.

This situation has led to questions about whether a Titans game has ever been available in fewer homes across Tennessee. The report indicates that in past seasons, especially during less successful years for the Titans, there were similar challenges with broadcast availability, particularly in areas like Memphis.

However, the current scenario is seen as a new low for the franchise. The networks appear to believe that they would garner better ratings by showcasing different games over the Titans. Sources suggest that the networks may be contractually obligated to carry the Titans game in middle Tennessee, despite potentially higher viewership for other matchups.

This situation could negatively impact fan engagement and support for the team, which is vital for maintaining a strong community connection and overall franchise health. Furthermore, in light of the bye week, player Cam Ward took the opportunity to self-scout and assess his performance early in the season.

He acknowledged that he hasn't played up to expectations but expressed a commitment to improvement. Ward mentioned, 'Just took time, just getting back to the basics of football, getting my body healthy, and then just resetting my mind to go play another season.' The implications of both the broadcast issues and player performance will be crucial as the Titans move forward this season.
