Will the Green Bay Packers Be on TV in Hudson This Week?

St. Croix County is in the Minnesota media market, which means oftentimes Packers fans here are second-class citizens when it comes to Twin Cities TV channels. Find out whether you'll be able to see the Packers on TV this week.

In Hudson, the Vikings have priority over the Packers on TV, because we're in the Minneapolis-St. Paul media market. When both teams are playing at the same time on the same network, our TV channels will carry the Vikings game. In 2012, Green Bay fans may miss out on seeing the Packers on TV up to five times. For those games, you may have to buy a special NFL package, listen on the radio, or head to a local sports bar. Below is a rundown of the season's games for both the Packers and the Vikings, including the Comcast Digital channel on which they will appear. ________________________ _____________________________ * subject to flex scheduling # requires cable package that includes this channel All channel numbers are for Comcast Digital  …

POLL: How Will You Watch the Packers Game Today?

Here in Hudson, the Vikings have priority over the Packers on TV, because we're in the Minneapolis-St. Paul media market. What are your plans for the game?

Because St. Croix County is part of the Minneapolis-St. Paul media market, KMSP FOX 9 will air the Vikings-Saints game instead of the Packers-Chiefs game at noon today. There are a variety of ways a Hudson Packers fan can cope. Some fans pay for all the games with NFL Ticket or other cable/satellite plans. They'll have no problem getting the game today. In fact, they'll probably have a lot of people over to watch the game. Hopefully they're stocked up on beer and wings! Some fans will pile into one of our many local sports bars. The Village Inn Sports Bar & Grill, Kozy Korner Bar & Pizza, Starr's Tavern, Uncles Mike's M Pour E Yum and Buffalo Wild Wings are some of the local fan favorites.  Some fans will skip out on watching the game and …

Packers Super Bowl Win Was a Boon for Local Bars

A long day of activities meant that Hudson sports bars made, and continue to make, money.

With just a few exceptions, Hudson's Super Bowl parties brought in plenty of Packer Backers, and some of the trappings were still being used last weekend. Couples could be seen sneaking off to the outdoor tent that was part of festivities at the Village Inn, and sports bars such as Dick's were making up for the usual post-Super Bowl lag in patronage by airing reruns of the game every other day throughout the week. And at Mudd's and Sudd's, workers spent time each day gathering beads from around the bar that when put back together constituted a patron's bracelet, so it could be given back to her a couple of days ago, said server Jo Ellen Steele. But back on Super Bowl Sunday, the continuation of activities throughout the day and night meant…
