Title: Kansas City Chiefs’ Playoff Game Not to be Aired in St. Joseph, Missouri
St. Joseph, Missouri – In a surprising turn of events, the playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins will reportedly not be aired in St. Joseph, the very city that has been the home of the Chiefs’ training camp for several years, except for those disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 13 at 7:00 p.m., Chiefs fans in St. Joseph will be left without a broadcast of the highly anticipated game. Instead, viewers can catch the action through a live stream on Peacock, as well as on NBC affiliates in Kansas City and Miami.
The St. Joseph News-Press recently highlighted that the local affiliate, KNPG, was informed by NBC that the game would not be aired in their market due to St. Joseph being deemed an adjacent market. This unexpected decision has left many fans disappointed, especially given the city’s close affiliation with the Chiefs.
While the Chiefs’ training camp had been held in St. Joseph for many years, the COVID-19 pandemic caused disruptions, with the team unable to utilize the facilities in 2020. Nonetheless, loyal fans had always relied on the local broadcasting of Chiefs’ games.
Interestingly, Peacock, the streaming service launched by NBCUniversal, reportedly paid a staggering $110 million to the National Football League (NFL) for the rights to air this specific playoff game. This move reflects the growing popularity and influence of streaming services in the world of sports broadcasting.
Although Chiefs fans in St. Joseph will be disappointed to miss out on live game coverage through traditional broadcasting channels, the emergence of live streaming platforms provides an alternative means to enjoy the matchup and support their beloved team.
As St. Joseph residents eagerly await the outcome of the Chiefs’ playoff game, fans are hopeful for future broadcasts and are thankful for the support offered through streaming platforms like Peacock. Despite the setback, the dedicated and passionate fanbase will undoubtedly find a way to rally behind their team, even if it means turning to alternative viewing methods to cheer on their Chiefs.
Swerd Media remains committed to keeping Chiefs fans updated with the latest news and developments, ensuring that loyal supporters continue to receive quality coverage of their beloved team, even in unpredictable times.
