Hello Members,

All prime-time games, including those on Thursday, Sunday and Monday, are broadcast coast-to-coast by national networks. The networks that broadcast prime-time games hold exclusive rights to them. However, there is an exception in the NFL broadcasting rules for night games broadcast on cable stations, most notably ESPN and NFL Network. Those games can be broadcast on an over-the-air station within the designated television markets of the two teams playing. The over-the-air station receives the broadcast feed from the cable network and simulcasts it. This rule is in place to allow non-cable subscribers within a team's television market to watch the game.


Thanks and Regards,
