DirecTV SFO-JFK East or West Coast Feed?
I'm booking a flight on 11/22 and hoping to watch the Seahawks/49ers game on Fox, however it's always unclear [to me] whether the game will be nationally televised.
The only way I can ensure it will be (aside from it possibly being flexed to Sunday night) is if the DirecTV feed from SFO-JFK is a west coast feed.
Is it? And, of course, I am assuming the A321s have Fox. Thanks for any help.

As for NFL games, many--myself included--are hoping that JetBlue will announce a partnership to get Sunday Ticket in-flight, possibly via streaming, like their MLB partnership that's currently running.

considering the fact that the niners/hawks game is the only game on fox in the 4PM time slot...there is an excellent chance that will be on national tv. so you should be fine to watch the NY local fox channel since they will air it.

Check out The506.com a few days before the game. They'll have broadcast maps for that (and every weekend)'s games for FOX and CBS.

i can confirm that this game is "america's game of the week" on fox for that day. so this will be a national broadcast with the only other nfl game in the 4pm time slot on CBS and that is regional (bengals v cardinals).
so OP shouldn't have to worry about missing the game.

FYI, Packers/Vikings is on FOX for everyone except the broad swath of land between Seattle and San Francisco, and since it's the NY feed, I got hosed. Not that I was necessarily interested in watching the 49er game anymore anyway...

the last 3-4 years though, SF/SEA is the game.
