jerseyfla 193 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I was streaming WCAU's news this evening, and they're putting all of their postgame coverage on their Cozi channel; 10.1 is going right to This is Us right after the game. I could imagine the same in Boston as well. Well of course WCAU and WBTS will do that. The upcoming episode of This Is Us is almost the equivalent of Dallas’ “Who Shot J.R.?” with “How does Jack die?” it’s been a year and half cliffhanger question. My wife who is a die-hard Eagles fan is going to ride a real roller coaster of emotions tomorrow night if the Eagles win because TIU is one of our favorite shows.

rkolsen 1675 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Since the TIU episode is Super Bowl themed do you think they’d have time to cut in footage from tomorrow’s game and maybe some generic prerecorded comments about who won?

Viper550 268 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 They ended up doing putting in actual footage from the game inside it, yes. Also, one more tidbit to cap off the season; Good Morning Football is moving to Times Square at the NFL's new attraction there (which is at the new Edition hotel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardSalwasser 28 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Fox will simulcast NFL Network's coverage of the upcoming NFL Draft. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/02/14/draft-will-be-televised-by-fox/ First 3 rounds will be simulcast, with NFL Network and Fox talent involved. Saturday is strictly on NFL Network due to NASCAR commitments for Fox. All this per the New York Times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3059 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I think this is to build more promotion for Thursday Night Football. I don’t think the NFL Draft would do well in ratings, especially with Big Bang on CBS and The Bachelor on ABC. It’s more of a cable event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrschimpf 2050 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Is there any reason why NBC is relegating the Super Bowl to NBC Universo in lieu of Telemundo? I mean Telemundo itself is airing the pregame from 2:30-6PM when the coverage moved to NBC Universo. It's on purpose; Universo actually launched with the Super Bowl in 2015. NBC had tried to get SNF rights on Telemundo for years (they've been packaged with it since 2006) but the affiliates simply didn't want to pay the extra premium, along with league fears of split audiences if they didn't have broadcast ratings consolidated in one place. I think this is to build more promotion for Thursday Night Football. I don’t think the NFL Draft would do well in ratings. Plus it's the NFL Network version; they have OK coverage but ESPN's equity is so overwhelming for that event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense as stations pay for sports rights as “contributions”. I didn’t realize the league didn’t want a seperate package of rights. I seem to remember a few years ago Telemundo aired a handful of SNF games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched last year's draft, the NFL Network coverage is much more preferable over ESPN's coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Rubber 609 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 What's the current pecking order on which networks get to pick games first? This past season, I noticed that the 4:25 ET Fox and CBS games were the top matchups, followed by SNF, followed by either MNF or TNF depending on the week. Do the 4:25 ET games get priority over SNF now, or was that just bad luck with how the matchups turned out last year? Part of the biggest issues with MNF and TNF is that they generally get some bad matchups. It's been worse these past few seasons since there haven't been as many top teams in the league. This past season, there were generally only one or two top matchups per week, and every other game was mediocre. I actually feel like many weeks had better TNF games than MNF. Was MNF reduced to 4th in the pecking order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
