GEORGETOWN, Ky. — The first game in Paul Brown Stadium probably will not be on local TV.

        The Chicago Bears visit 7:30 p.m. Saturday and the game needs to be a sellout by 7:30 p.m. tonight to be aired live on the Bengals' preseason network, led by flagship WKRC-TV (Channel 12).

        The Bengals said a sellout by the blackout deadline is not expected, and in that event, the game will be shown live only in Columbus. It will air on tape delay at 11:35 p.m. in Cincinnati and Dayton.

        The Bengals expect a crowd of about 50,000 in the 65,600-seat stadium.

        Tickets can be purchased online at www.bengals.com/tickets
