NFL Football on NBC

R

radiolover78

I'm not sure if this was already talked about, but is NBC carrying some NFL football games or is it just local. Last night our local NBC affiliate was carrying the pre-season game with the Giants and Panthers. Does NBC, CBS, ABC, AND Fox carry some NFL football coverage through out the season now? Or does localism have anything to do with it? Joseph Gallant, can you answer this?<P ID="signature">______________

NFL preseason (save for the few games which air nationally on NFL-contracted networks) is strictly local affair. In the case of the NY Giants, WNBC is airing their preseason games. If you have NFL Network you can catch replays of these games; they will use the home team's feed in the first half then the visiting team's in the second half.
 
You may be a bit confused as WNBC has been airing the Giants games using the NBC Sports graphics package, but with a NBC 4 logo in place of the NBC Sports logo.

For example, in Green Bay, WFRV, a CBS-owned station, carries the preseason games using CBS-style graphics and music (with the Packers G replacing the CBS eye). This goes to other stations in the state - none of them CBS affils, incidentally.
 
Re: Network-Style Graphics On NFL Pre-Season Games

WCVB-5 in Boston (an ABC affiliate) does not use ABC or ESPN style graphics for their locally-broadcast New England Patriots' pre-season games.

The games are fed to several other stations in New England (including sister stations WMUR-9 Manchester and WMTW-8 Poland Springs/Portland), so WCVB's distinctive "5" logo does not appear in the graphics either.

Our Bengals preseason games are on our CBS affiliate, WKRC. They don't use CBS logos, only a little BTV, for Bengals Televsion.

Pre-season Cowboys games moved this year to KARK (Nex$tar owned NBC affl) for the Little Rock market, and Equity owned KWBF (WB) carries the Chiefs games.

So, are NFL pre-season games aired only locally?<P ID="signature">______________

Yes, except for those 11 games carried by the networks. See the link below.

I'm suprised that WMAQ is not doing this... They're airing / producing Bears pre-season games and have their own graphics package without NBC 5 branding, though, all the mic flags have NBC 5 on them and they tend to promote "Coming up tonight on NBC 5 News..."

What's funny has been watching them on WIFR-23 Freeport/Rockford, which is a CBS affiliate.

The Raiders and Chargers use the CBS-style graphics and music. However, in the case of the Raiders, the games are shown locally on KTVU/KICU, and not KPIX (who carries the 49ers and uses their own graphics package), and using the graphics from 2002. KCBS in L.A. carries Raiders pre-season games, and they may actually be the ones who are producing the games along with the Raiders. The Chargers-Rams game yesterday was shown locally on KCAL in L.A., and its originating station was KFMB (CBS). KFMB pretty much used the entire CBS package, except the CBS eye wasn't displayed on the scoreboard at the top of the screen. Usually, at least for the San Diego audience, KFMB's "Local 8" was displayed with the scoreboard.

You'll also notice that now the NFL Network is producing pre-season telecasts for selected teams as well, at least using the NFL Network graphics package. The Browns and Rams come to mind.

WALA-TV "Fox 10" (Mobile, AL) has aired the New Orleans Saints preseason games aired by Viacom/Belo's WUPL-TV "UPN New Orleans", with its logo, graphics, and promos unaltered. <P ID="signature">______________

Re: Network-Style Graphics On NFL Pre-Season Games

Columbus, Ohio started getting preseason telecasts for both the Bengals and Browns about five years ago. Throughout the 80s and 90s, we didn't get preseason games for either team on either radio or television. At that time, I believe Bengals preseason games were televised only in Cincinnati, Dayton and maybe one market in Kentucky.
But yes, I do believe that most preseason games are only aired in teams' local area of interest.

CBS graphics and music on local NBC affiliate

It was quite odd to turn on the Chargers broadcast here in Las Vegas. KVBC, an NBC affiliate, carried the local broadcast out of San Diego from the CBS affiliate there. All graphics featured the CBS Eye, and the music was most certainly CBS's NFL Today music as bumpers. I wonder if our local NBC affiliate has any ill feelings airing all of the CBS themed coverage? If I was the progammer....I sure as hell would!!

Same situation for the Packers--WFRV Green Bay (along with Milwaukee's WTMJ, a NBC station) produces Packers pre-season games using all the CBS graphics and music.

What's especially interesting about that is that WTMJ-Journal Broadcast Group owns the Packers radio rights as well. Both WFRV and WTMJ-TV are "official" Packers stations and create and air special "behind-the-scenes" approved Packers programs. (WTMJ got the TV rights to the Packers homecoming events after their two recent Super Bowl appearances) More interesting - Journal owns a different station in the Green Bay market, WGBA, and hasn't made a peep, possibly because they're getting network-quality work and semi-flagship status for a relatively low price.

I'm aware of that, I used to live in Milwaukee as a kid and still have family in the city. WTMJ Radio has had the Packers almost continously since the late 1920s. Hell, they the broadcast rights to every major sports team (college and pro) in the state of Wisconsin...talk about a stranglehold! I know that WISN-TV was the Milwaukee home of Packers pre-season football for years prior to WTMJ-TV.
