> you have to have a cable subscription which offers the local broadcast

I watch all NFL local broadcast games over a cheap digital OTA. Can the same thing be done here for people without cable?

With only a handful of exceptions (ie the Los Angeles Dodgers show about 10 games a year on an OTA station), every team has exclusive deals with cable tv stations for local broadcasts. Even Fox has taken to putting many of their weekend national broadcasts on FS1, a cable channel. ESPN also has a Sunday night game on cable only.

So the short answer is: no.
