Programming Note: Chargers vs. Cardinals

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - The Chargers preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals will be seen, in delay, at 10 p.m. Thursday, August 28 on CBS 8.

The delayed airing is due to NFL blackout guidelines and remaining unsold tickets.

According to Chargers.com, the game will not be shown live in Southern California due to the National Football League's long-standing policy that requires all games not sold out 72 hours prior to kickoff to be blacked out in the local market. The NFL's policy affects all telecasts, including cable and satellite.

About 9,000 general tickets remained unsold by Monday's 7 p.m. deadline to allow for a live telecast, a team representative said.
