Why does Erie TV show so many Buffalo Bills games? Blame the NFL's 75-mile rule
Since Buffalo's Highmark Stadium is about 85 miles from Erie's TV broadcast antennas, WSEE's and WFXP's signals penetrate well within that radius. Though those stations' signals also penetrate within 75 miles of the Cleveland Browns ' stadium, NFL officials have determined that Erie is a secondary market only for the Buffalo Bills.
