Pre-season Games
The network carries all preseason games, except those picked for national broadcast by CBS or Fox. WXYZ-TV, WNEM-TV and WSYM-TV air games in high definition. The announcers are Matt Shepard with play-by-play, Rob Rubick with color commentary, and Tom Leyden with sideline reports. Because of the NFL's local television blackout policy, Lions home games that do not sell out 72 hours before the game are not permitted to be broadcast live on stations whose normal coverage area is within 75 miles of the stadium (specifically WXYZ-TV, WNEM-TV, and WSYM-TV) so they are broadcast on tape delay on those stations. However, all Lions road games are broadcast live on all affiliates.

“Intelligence and war are games, perhaps the only meaningful games left. If any player becomes too proficient, the game is threatened with termination.”
