NFL Superbowl on UK TV???

Does anyone know if we're allowed to see the big buget commercials on BBC2?

I'm expecting something to be shown and I don't want to sit up for ages if it's not going to be shown at all.

For those of you with motorized dishes or fixed dishes pointing at 15w, the Fox coverage complete with commercials and halftime show is on the usual NFL feed frequency

bbc studio high in the stadium, jake humpreys, mike carlson and nfl legend rod woodson

Nice to actually have it broadcast from the US this year then - don't ITV usually just have a studio back in England?

How many people in this country even follow the NFL? We truly are becoming the 51st state.

Did he just say "Tomorrow O'Clock"?

Are we getting the same commentary here on BBC2?

Am confused what is on the red button and what is on normal bbc2 re commentary.

Nice to see the Beeb actually there and not in a studio in London, always adds to the atmosphere.

I think Jake Humphrey has become one of the BBC's top presenters and rightly so, he's good, come a long way since hosting CBBC

paul_hadley · 03/02/08 - 23:13

Interactive audio (on Freeview) can be either the normal BBC2 commentary, or the 5 Live commentary.

Red button is commentary from Radio 5, I think....like they used to do with the football (soccer!!! :rolleyes: lol)

Sorry if I'm being thick here, but the coverage is by the Fox Network? Not the BBC team in the box, I mean...

[Deleted User] · 03/02/08 - 23:16

nfl is on channel 5 2-3 times a week so naturally the superbowl is on bbc2.....

paul_hadley · 03/02/08 - 23:19

"BBC will be taking the World Feed pictures and commentary offered by the NFL. The commentary team will be veteran US broadcaster Dick Stockton and former All-Pro receiver Sterling Sharpe. The host broadcaster for this year's Super Bowl is Fox."

Glad the guy there tells us American Idol is the US version of Pop Idol.

Probably just delayed sound-system they have setup there. The same happens at concerts normally - it doesn't sync up.

Red Devil · 03/02/08 - 23:23

As for commentary, we'll be taking the NFL's world feed pairing of Dick Stockton and Sterling Sharpe, with Radio 5 Live's Arlo White and Greg Brady available on the red button.

So what is everyone going with.

Sky or BBC?

Sky for me

paul_hadley · 03/02/08 - 23:24

It says on bbc.co.uk that the game is being streamed online - I don't see a link at http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/american_football/7018632.stm unless I'm being blind?
