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.

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…
