I am proud to announce on this day my new team is Jacksonville. Much easier to find on local TV.

The television affiliates in Florida are contractually obligated to broadcast the local NFL teams. In Florida, we have 3 teams so they are essentially always on. I know this from living in NC when the Panthers were founded. Up until then the "local" team designation for NC was the Washington Redskins. There were a lot of unhappy people when they were no longer broadcast weekly like they had been for 40 years.
