Some Chiefs fans are not happy with only being able to see one of the team’s three preseason games, as their final one before the regular season Thursday night against the Chicago Bears won’t be on TV in Kansas City due to the Democratic National Convention.
The Chiefs-Bears broadcast in the area is set to air on KMCI instead of the usual KSHB. However, the DNC will be on TV instead of football.
NFL Network is also airing the game, but due to blackout restrictions, fans in Kansas City won’t be able to stream the game on there instead.

"For the second time this pre-season, Channel 41 is moving their coverage of the Chiefs game to Channel 38," a Reddit user wrote, via The Kansas City Star. "Youtube TV does not carry Channel 38, so once again I will not have access to watch this game. Why is Channel 41 paying for the rights to broadcast these games when it is not accessible for many in their market? Does the Chiefs front office care?"
The Chiefs’ first preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars was a problem as well for Kansas City fans. It was carried by KSHB, but due to the Summer Olympics in Paris, the broadcast moved over to KMCI.
