No Rams on TV: Team's sellout streak ends
By Jim Thomas
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
12/21/2006
The home sellout streak is over for the Rams. For the first time since the franchise moved to St. Louis in 1995, a home game will not be televised locally.
The Rams did not reach NFL sellout requirements by noon Thursday, so Sunday’s final home game of the season against Washington will be blacked out to local fans, according to team officials. About 3,000 tickets remain for the contest, and neither the Rams nor Fox (Channel 2), which has the rights to televise the game, were willing to buy up the tickets.
Until Sunday, all 95 regular-season home games and all five home playoff games by the Rams had been televised locally.
