If the franchise affiliate and the WWI affiliate are the same, the station
will usually opt for the local feed (unless it's the Super Bowl).

When there is a Monday night game for the Patriots, WEEI is barred from
airing it because the flagshup (WBCN) takes priority.

I believe that, outside said franchise's home market, both the WWI and
team's feed can air simultaneously.
