NFL Teams with NBC to Stream 17 Regular-Season Games
This is great news for us NFL fans. The NFL and NBC Sports are teaming up to offer some streaming football for free this season. According to SportsBusinessJournal.com:
The NFL will stream 17 regular-season games live this season, marking the first time regular-season action will be broadly streamed in real time in the United States.
Starting with the NFL Kickoff game on Thursday, Sept. 4, between the Washington Redskins and New York Giants, the league plans to stream NBC's prime-time schedule on NFL.com and NBCSports.com as part of a plan being engineered by NBC Olympics President Gary Zenkel and Brian Rolapp, NFL senior vice president of digital media.
This is pretty exciting news. While the NFL offered some streaming football on NFL.com last year, it was a combination of talk show and live cut-ins resulting in only about 50 percent of the game being viewable. Are you excited about the NFL and NBC deal? Leave us a comment.
