Mundane Super Bowl broadcasting trivia

B

bmasters1981

Here's some mundane Super Bowl broadcasting trivia you might not have considered:

NBC did five Big Games under the original peacock/Snake (1, 3, 5, 7, and 9), two under the red and blue trapezoidal N (11 and 13), three under the Proud N (15, 17, and 20), and the remainder under the current bird (23, 27, 28, 30, 32, 43, and 46). In essence, while NBC has done more Big Games under the current bird than any other of their logos (seven), the sum total of the Big Games that were done under the other logos (ten) is more than what was done under the current bird.
 
ABC covered XIX (1985), XXII (1988), XXV (1991), XXIX (1995), XXXIV (2000), XXXVII (2003) and XL (2006).

Super Bowl I was covered by both CBS and NBC. Super Bowl XLVII will be on CBS this February.
 
The New York Giants are the only team to have won a Super Bowl on all four US broadcast networks that televised the Super Bowl. XXI (CBS), XXV (ABC), XLII (Fox), XLVI (NBC). The Pittsburgh Steelers would have been the first but they lost to the Packers in Super Bowl XLV on Fox.

That's a great trivia question! Now if only MyTV, ION & CW get the righ----never mind.

Another thing: 2 of the 3 Big Games that NBC did under the Proud N (15 and 20) were from the Louisiana Superdome; the other (17, Miami/Washington) was from the Rose Bowl.
 
ANOTHER thing: Both of DAL's SB wins with Clint Murchison cutting the checks (6 and 12) were on the Eye (and both in New Orleans).

All three of the 'Boys Lombardis under Mr. Jones's ownership (27, 28, and 30) were won on the Peacock ("Nobody Beat the Cowboys!"), albeit in three different cities.

Bum Bright, otoh, got nowhere near the SB.

Both of CBS' most recent Super Bowls (XLI and XLIV) took place in Miami, and both featured Peyton Manning's Indianapolis Colts; the Colts split those Super Bowl games, with Indy beating Chicago in XLI, and New Orleans beating Indy in XLIV.
 
The 5 Big Game wins of San Francisco were in a somewhat alternating fashion of network coverage ("somewhat alternating" because while they did make an alternating pattern of the networks, they weren't all consecutive; 16 was on CBS, 19 was on ABC, 23 was on NBC, 24 was again on CBS, and 29 was again on ABC).
