At least 2 of them must be covered, as well as at least 1 out of town. The table below shows 4 of the games involve a team likely to compete for the state championship, at least 2 of which must be covered. Games must be fully covered or not at all. Within these requirements Channel 999 wants to maximize its total audience across the ratings points shown for possible game choices.
