Why cant the NFL network show games at noon and 3pm

[Mr210]

just like fox and cbs


have back to back on the nfl network during the same time and let people watch more games

 

[mastermind]

because CBS and Fox paid for the rights to those games

 

[Jplaya2023]

Because of what mastermind just pointed.

Also because Nfl network isn't a nationwide channel so they would get killed in ratings

 

[jadillac]

the NFL isnt exactly trying to compete against itself that much either

I was gonna make a post along these lines, not exactly this, but asking why is the NFL the most popular sport, but got the shyttiest TV coverage. How in 2012 there isn't doubleheaders on both CBS and Fox weekly? Meaning games on at 1 & 4 on both channels. I understand NBC having the Sunday night game and ESPN Monday night if that's how the negotiations were set up(I still think it's shytty), but it's crazy to me that you can turn on Fox or CBS during a time there should be a game on, and it's a fukking infomercial for a pressure cooker or some 80s flick with Danny Devito playing. What make's it more ridiculous is that it ain't like the NFL is on everyday of the week like the other sports, we should be getting as many games as possible on Sundays. I know some nikka gonna come in arguing talking bout then buy Sunday Ticket but not everyone even has that option and by being a Cablevision customer I just got the option to finally even have Redzone. NFL TV coverage is garbage considering ESPN spends 24/7 talking about it.

Because that means less money in their pocket from Fox, CBS, and DirecTv.

You gonna get to see 12 teams a week play this year. Thats over a 3rd of the league. Now explain how thats worse coverage than MLB where you really only see your local team and 1 game a week on TBS and ESPN. Worse than the NHL where people dont even know what channel the games come on? The NBA gives you volume but they give you volume of the same 6 teams all year.

Your whole complaint is about missing 1 game.

The way shyt is broadcast is usually connected to ratings and attendance. If your team is on and it isn't the game of the week, you run unopposed so that you're ONLY focusing on that game.

how is what I'm saying crazy, you think CBS and Fox both showing games at 1 and 4 is something that is unrealistic?

you just said the NFL has the worst TV coverage of any sport. Its just not true

Also because Nfl network isn't a nationwide channel so they would get killed in ratings

they're gonna get games every Thursday. Stop thinking everything is connected to that.

I'm speaking strictly of games shown, not talking about the sport 24/7 like ESPN does with their variety of shows. The NFL is basically on for 1 day out of the week and if you don't have NFL Ticket, which isn't even available to everyone, how many games are you actually getting to watch on Sunday without illegal links?

You get 6 games a week. Thats more than MLB and NHL. You dont even get that many NBA games until later in the season. You wrote that long ass post to complain about missing 1 game.

youre thinking from a fan perspective instead of thinking about it from a business perspective
