Herc11 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Dear God, Fox has the worst production of NFL games than anyone else. Their commentators suck, the pre/post game analysts suck, and they always try some stupid gimmick to make it better, like robots playing football.

wagon127 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 As much as people don't like them. I guess Joe Buck and Troy Aikman may finally call a bills game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 On 1/22/2018 at 9:16 PM, Mr. WEO said: Fact: TNF games have fewer injuries than Sunday games and fewer injuries for the teams playing in them after their previous Sunday game. Fact: TNF is still a ratings bonanza for the NFL--more so than MNF. But carry on.... Yes, the one game on Thursday has a lot less injuries than the games combined on Sundays. That's NFL logic 101....

Local stations affiliates can and usually do. There were a few not broadcast on CBS this past season and you could only watch it on ch 212. 12 minutes ago, row_33 said: Yes, the one game on Thursday has a lot less injuries than the games combined on Sundays.

The Broadcast companies are losing millions and FOX just said, lets give you more money. Extremely unlikely this is profitable for them. NFL football has been a loss leader for the four major networks for years. But there’s a method to the madness as carrying the most popular sport on TV has an impact on the lead-in to the prime time programming that they plug during football telecasts.

The Broadcast companies are losing millions and FOX just said, lets give you more money. Extremely unlikely this is profitable for them. Having the NFL is not really about making a profit. NBC learned that lesson a couple decades ago. They let CBS wrest away the AFC and didn't have any NFL for years. They realized how awful it was not to have the cache and the loss leaders and promos. Then had to get back in the game by grossly overpaying for a Sunday Night Package. That did, however, jettison them back in the ballgame so to speak, and then they conned the NFL into giving them the best games, which tore a monster hole into their rival, MNF. But the point is, the NFL is still the biggest thing in broadcasting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 3 hours ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Most of the TNF games on NFLN were also broadcast on CBS or NBC depending on what crew was assigned.

I believe it is going to be that way this coming season, too. Fox is going to produce all of the games. They will likely use their announcers. But I think that about five will not be shown on Fox. They will be, however, on the streaming service the NFL makes a deal with, if they haven't already for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
