Lowest percentage to see a NFL game? (1 Viewer)

I have a web capture from the Herald Journal from 1992, and WSPA in Spartanburg aired the Falcons-Bucs game. It only went to 4% of the country, WSPA and all CBS stations in Georgia. WBTV in Charlotte aired the 49ers-Vikings game, which went to all other CBS stations.

I was going to say any Arizona Cardinals game where the opponent isn't Green Bay or Dallas ... ...

I think the Falcons and Buccaneers were both terrible teams then.

Kind of like the Browns Lions game in 2009. That game aired only in Ohio.

You'd have to go way back, when blackouts were part of the rules. I remember a game i watched on the big dish in 1990, San Diego vs. Dallas, week 1 1990. The main DH national game was Houston Oilers-Atlanta Falcons (Jerry Glanville had become coach of Falcons, coaching against his former team, the Oilers). SD-DAL was blacked out in Dallas but was shown in San Diego and Los Angeles. I remember a Vikings-Bucs game in 1990 that only went to Tampa (Minnesota was blacked out). But the other CBS game (Cowboys-Giants) ended early, so rather cut to 60 Minutes, they switched to Bucs-Vikings.
