Director's Cut Alert: Browns' Preseason Home Opener To Be Broadcast on WKYC

BEREA, Ohio -- Facing their first blackout since 1995, the Cleveland Browns said their home exhibition opener against Detroit will be shown on local television.

Although tickets remain available in their 73,000-seat stadium, the Browns said they reached an agreement with WKYC-TV to broadcast the game.

Low expectations for the Browns this season, coupled with Cleveland's poor performance in a 17-0 loss to Green Bay last week, haven't helped ticket sales.

The Browns have historically been one of the NFL's top draws, but the tough economy and the team's poor record over the past decade has led to a decline in interest.
