For Pete's Sake

TV coverage map shows Chiefs’ game Sunday will be seen in tiny portion of the U.S.

Chiefs fans will hear unfamiliar voices calling Sunday’s game against the Chargers.

Most Chiefs games air on CBS where play-by-play announcers Jim Nantz, Ian Eagle and Kevin Harlan are usually on the call when Kansas City plays.

But the Chiefs-Chargers game, which kicks off at 3:25 p.m. Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium, will air on Fox (Ch. 4). On the call will be Kevin Kugler and Brock Huard. The in-stadium reporter is Laura Okmin. The trio is fifth in Fox’s hierarchy of broadcast teams.

Kugler joined Fox Sports last year, so this will be the first time he calls a Chiefs game.

Here is the coverage map, via 506Sports.com, and the Chiefs-Chargers game is in yellow:
