Tallahassee is a real stretch. I have a half-sister there and I don’t get the feeling that there’s much interest in the Saints.

I cover the Panhandle for work, including Tallahassee. I’d say definitely to PCB but Tally is definitely the cutoff. In Tally, you see some Saints stuff but a lot more TB, Miami, Jax decals and license plates

I’m old enough to remember the antenna and blackout days. Blacked out in town, go to a family members house in the Stateline area of Washington Parish and being able to watch the games on out of state stations.



Grew up in the middle of New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Grandmaw's house didn't have cable. The antenna would picked up Fox 8 and Fox 44. Saints game would be blacked out on channel 8 but would be on 44.

as someone else mentioned, fandom is correlated to TV availability, so I'd say about Destin, that's about as far east as the Mobile, AL FOX affiliate reaches and they are in the Saints broadcast area, the Panama City FOX affiliate generally shows the Bucs if both are on in the same timeslot.

It would be nice to capture the Panama City market since they have a rather sizable population.

Lots of Saints fans in North Carolina?

I didn’t know that.

Maybe those fans you saw in the stadium were fans from Louisiana that traveled to the game?


Some are travelers, sure. Lots of transplants over here too, though.

Thomas Ave and the beach strip is most that people see of Pcity and it looks big. But its a small town 40k or so.





Look how much fun the panhandle looks
