We'll find out at 10pm but I believe Sky Sports 3 will be taking the NBC presentation minus the adverts. That was my point...nothing confirmed though...just something I heard. Just out of curiosity, what year was the power cut at the stadium...2012? I remember watching BBC One I think it was and they took the American feed due to this. It went on for a good hour if my memory serves me right.

Am looking forward to watching the nbc stuff - don't usually get to watch it as their games are on far too late during the regular season!

I watched the opening 15 minutes of the NBC pre game show and it was pretty tedious - they are stringing it out for 5 and a half hours until kick off so its just endless padding and adverts. I'll probably tune in about 10.30pm to watch the last minute build up.
Slightly geeky but I wonder what NBC's superbowl intro will be. 3 year's ago they just did a special version of their usual annoying Sunday Night Football intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5oIkGzzOwU Last year Fox did this short and sweet version of their transformer stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSXd7O5bjpo And the year before CBS delivered something pretty impressive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQGB2iy6pDc |

Before the Super Bowl starts, does anyone know if the AFL is being shown in the UK? Not looking forward to the football drought.

Lol, ok who had the first mention of Wembley at 2 minutes in the over/under on Sky Sports? Some irrelevant reference during the intro by Cadle.

As in, I assume it will be the normal NBC commentary on both Sky sports 1 and 3 - the same thing on both channels. The only difference in the game coverage will be the pre/post match studio stuff - but I doubt sky are showing the NBC studio stuff today?
And Sky have never taken much interest in extensive post-game coverage. With the game ending around 3am on a workday the live audience that would keep watching would be too small to justify it. They have not even scheduled a return to the NFL Network's programming for that, but just some Football Life episodes as filler. A few minutes around the half time show and trophy presentation, which would amount to the difference whilst Sky's own studio coverage is on air, would not justify the cost of rights and a producer. |

HD quality on Channel 4 is questionable...

Random q - do we in the UK, have the most comprehensive NFL TV coverage outside of the U.S. and Canada? (Excluding nfl network countries)

Why not? It isn't as though there is a boatload of live sport options they could otherwise show. What is on SS2, 4 and 5 presently? |

For the same reason as the darts final and some European soccer matches. Because not everyone can receive SS3 or SS5. So why needlessly require people to change channels or deny others the chance to watch just to show low rated filler programming.
Darts was different as SS3 was renamed SS Darts so had everything on there but was not available on BT Vision/Talk Talk etc so made the final available on SS1 as well. |

What I'm saying is SS1 is universally available on all Pay Platforms. SS3 isn't so this game should only be on SS1. Cost-cutting by $ky... And to be fair, Channel 4 are taking NBC too so it makes you wonder how many viewers are watching SS1/3? |

So by your analogy they should show the SuperBowl on SS1, 2, 3, 4 and 5? Why not F1 and maybe Sky Arts 1 and 2 while we're at it?

I wish the rolleyes icon still existed, I hate this. Sky are a business, not a charity. Why shouldn't they seek to maximise profits?

Well, as it's been explained now that NFL took over SS3 it makes sense now to show the game and allow other non-Sky viewers to see it in SS1. Shame no-one mentioned that before (as I'm not an American Football but and just observed a waste in duplication) |

Just for the record, I am no Sky fanboy, I have no vested interest one way or another aside from being a paying customer.

"Sky Sports 3 will be taking the NBC presentation minus the adverts"
So what is the point of that then? It's only reason I'm watching! been some good adverts so far. Watching NBC on a live stream (WITH adverts) |
