Those affiliates opted instead to show Wendy Williams, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Rachel Ray, Judge Mathis and other programming, according to Deadspin's Timothy Burke.

I wish they said which ones...it just said 19 FOX Stations.

I know Cleveland's affiliate WJW is playing the games.

I hate to be catty, but maybe part of the reason is because the USA didn't qualify.

If so...then Italy, Chile, and The Netherlands wouldn't play many World Cup Games.

I'm wondering if it's because it's in Russia? The USA didn't play the Olympics in 1980 during its boycott of the Soviet Russian Games!
