I believe that the only government involvement (I don't know if it is a court case or an act of congress) say that you can't black out sold out home games in the local market. I think that years ago, they blacked out all home games locally weather or not they were sold out (in fairness to those who bought tickets to the game i guess).

There is no reason that they couldn't set up the contracts to allow netowrks to show join in progress games after 4:15.

I wish they would allow both networks to show double headers every week, even against the local team. I say you can never have too much football.
