(From The Denver Post -- By Electa Draper)
It's the season for football, politics and, for many in southwestern Colorado, the reminder that, in the eyes of the FCC and NIELSEN MEDIA RESEARCH, they are New Mexicans.
La Plata and Montezuma county are in the Albuquerque/Santa Fe viewing area, which means they watch Albuquerque television news, listen to GOV. BILL RICHARDSON instead of GOV. BILL OWENS and, despite the tearing of hair and rending of garments, they occasionally must watch the Dallas Cowboys instead of the Denver Broncos.
"It's starting all over again. It's only one or two games a year that we miss, but if you're a fan, you're a fan," says STEVE HARRIS of Durango. "It hurts."
What people are allowed to watch on TV in southwestern Colorado, whether transmission is by cable, satellite or the airwaves, hinges on DMAs that were created based on what is was possible to watch decades ago.
Southwest Broncos Fans Cry Foul
