Haven't had much of that so far, but the week before Thanksgiving and the week before Christmas will see moves... all times East.

November 24th:
Carolina @ New Orleans and Miami @ Cleveland switch networks, the former to CBS, the latter to Fox. Both remain at 1pm.
Seattle @ Philadelphia moves to 1pm on Fox, replaced on NBC with the originally-Fox Green Bay @ San Francisco. (As if Eagles fans aren't hissed enough.)

December 21st and 22nd:
The to-be-determined games have been slotted...
The three Saturday NFL Network-national games, in order, are Houston @ Tampa Bay (1pm), Buffalo @ New England (4.30), and LA Rams @ S.F. (8.15).
Detroit @ Denver and Oakland @ LA Chargers become 4.05 Sunday starts, both at CBS.

December 1st, just after Thanksgiving, CBS switches two games (all times east): Oakland @ Kansas City from 1:00 to 4:25, pushing Cleveland @ Pittsburgh back to 1.

No other moves (N.E. @ Houston remains on NBC)

A little tardy, but...

Dec 15th, switch Pittsburgh @ Buffalo from 1pm to 8.20 and NBC.

The previously-at-night Minnesota @ L.A. Chargers moves up to 4:05 and CBS.

Interestingly, Fox is allowed to show the NO/SF game opposite a Jets home game in New York. Menawhile Houston, Cleveland and Buffalo get hit with Fox game at 4p of little geographic interest, Chargers at Jacksonville. The Fox affiliates in those markets can only run one game and it has to be in the 4p window because the clubs in those markets are playing at home at 1p and on CBS.  The, how is NY allowed to air a game opposite the Jets, who are at home? In the interest of stronger ratings in the nation’s largest market.

The short version is that the season, the league changed the rules to allow teams who would previously be the beneficiary of a blackout to waive it.

...and since the Jets are the Jets and...well, have totally Jets-ed up this season, there's no real point to enforcing a blackout.

The final regular week spate is determined, with the usual number of contests put off till the late slot, Cleveland/Cincinnati crossflexed to Fox, and San Fran/Seattle on SNF:
