BBC's NFL Highlights show will start on the 11th November under the name 'Race to Super Bowl 50'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/pro...nfl-highlights

Airs on BBC Two at 12:15am and is an hour long. Bit of a silly time to air when most people are in bed, I don't know if they will be showing repeats but if they do I imagine they will be showing at around 9am in the morning on BBC Two.

More leaning towards people recording it for the morning.

C4 had there highlights show starting around 11.30pm-midnight. It's been annoying no proper highlights round up show until Week 8.

Strictly true although it would be great if BBC Two did show a repeat at 9am on BBC Two after the first showing, still people can just record or catch up on iPlayer.

The latter I totally agree, what's the point of creating a highlights show if you ain't going to have a proper show in the first half of the season?

It seems strange and a slight waste of time, I know you have highlights across the Sky Sports networks but sadly they are individual game highlights and not a round up show.

Regarding your first sentence that is indeed still a late time but if I remember C4 did show a repeat of the first rounding at 7am?

EDIT: The press office is listing Mark Chapman presenting for the 17th November:

I assume he is presenting highlights every week then although I'm surprised they chose him over Nat.

There's a highlights package on sky on demand every week, quite good if you ask me. Just the key plays from every game with radio commentary no analysis. Lasts about 45 minutes.

Didn't they show Rugby League highlights repeated at about 11am on a weekday morning this year? Think they'll push the highlights quite prominently on BBC.co.uk/sport

Interesting its on a day later this year.

The Highlights Show is probably aimed at Iplayer users. I'll watch it via that

So Yahoo numbers were

33.6 million streams
15.2 million unique user streams
5 million + international unique user streams
15.2m is a fantastic figure for Yahoo which is higher than the average MNF game which is on cable, the NFL and Yahoo should do more of this, the stream was fantastic as well.

33.6m worldwide... I'm going to wrap that up in one word... phenomenal
Sports Illustrated ran a story castigating the NFL for being "somewhere between disingenuous and outright misleading" with the Yahoo numbers. Seems the NFL Head Office in New York is as prone to making up shit about their numbers as NFLUK.

Originally Posted by Sports Illustrated

The NFL swelled with pride Sunday with the technological success it had in distributing one of its 256 regular-season games on the internet through a partnership with Yahoo. That game, Buffalo versus Jacksonville in London on Sunday morning, drew a total of 33.6 million “streams,” according to Yahoo and the NFL, and 15.2 million unique visitors.

But what we learned later on Monday diminished the impressiveness of those statistics, and resulted in a bait-and-switch feeling to the original numbers trumpeted by the NFL and Yahoo. A stream actually counted if viewers stayed on the game for more than three seconds. And in order to buttress the overall numbers, Sports Business Journal reported, anyone who clicked on Yahoo’s web page once the game kicked off had the game start on autoplay, resulting in a “stream,” whether the visitor had any intention of watching the game or not. In other words, anyone who landed on Yahoo.com between 9:30 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. Sunday, unless he or she was remarkably nimble and could leave the site in less than three seconds after logging on, was counted as someone who “streamed” the football game. That lands somewhere between disingenuous and outright misleading by Yahoo and the NFL.

They may have technically been scheduled for Saturday at 3pm before broadcasters got to start moving things around. But there was no doubt from the moment the league picked those fixtures that they would be played on the Sunday afternoon.

As for the complexities of scheduling, if you truly do not think that the Premier League, or any league, does not factor in what else is happening on specific weekends then you are very naive
In the 2014/15 premier league fixture list, 30 of the 38 rounds of fixtures had top six teams playing each other, often multiple games in a round.

For me Sam Rosen sounds unrecognisable this afternoon

That superimposed end zone colour overlay is hilariously awful. Who on earth came up with that idea?

Sam Rosen does much less NFL now than he used to, he was a Fox regular for many years, but got bumped down the roster a couple of years back. Now he just does games in weeks when Fox have a large slate or like now where Buck and Burkhardt are on MLB duty

Sky cannot show something they do not have the rights to!
Understand how something works before you spout utter tripe!

As mentioned, BT has an exclusive deal with ESPN for ESPN-programming and the pre-game show is not part of the NFL deal so Sky would have to do a deal with ESPN but that will not happen as BT have exclusivity for ESPN programming!
Its been explained already...!!
Sky taking ESPN network feed tonight complete with half time show so looks like some sort of deal has been done...

Yes, I saw that Packers v Panthers games advertised on Pick today too. It is the third NFL game Sky have shown on their FTA channels. But every time I watch Sky's NFL coverage, a little part of me dies. Their coverage will turn many soft NFL fans completely off the game.

And to be balanced, the BBC are a disgrace, they red-buttoned the last NFL Wembley game when they have two vacant daytime channels (BBC Three and Four) that could have shown it.

Will it though? I know a lot of the hardcore lot over on the NFLUK forums get their knickers in a twist at the likes of Cadle, Reynolds and Cecil, but does the more casual fan care that much? Nothing to back this up other than the general vibe from where I work and from when I was at uni a few years back, but from my experience, people tended to find the Sky coverage a bit more welcoming, whereas the obscure references and in-jokes of Coombs and Carlson can go over the head of many viewers.

And to be balanced, the BBC are a disgrace, they red-buttoned the last NFL Wembley game when they have two vacant daytime channels (BBC Three and Four) that could have shown it.
BBC Three and Four aren't daytime channels though. At least live coverage was available to the majority in this country though - which is a heck of a lot better than what more 'mainstream' sports in this country have.

How many games will BBC show FTA with Twickenham and Tottenham plans?
Be interesting if all London games will be FTA as the schedule expands.
And which broadcasters take them on..

I much prefer his NHL commentary than his NFL commentary.

With 8 weeks of the season gone, here is the team breakdown of live games on television in the UK so far.

6. New England
5. Dallas, NY Giants and Philadelphia.
4. Buffalo, Carolina, Denver, Green Bay, Indianapolis, Kansas, New Orleans, NY Jets, Pittsburgh and Seattle.
3. Baltimore, Cincinnati, Detroit, Miami, San Francisco.
2. Arizona, Atlanta.
1. Chicago, Houston, Jacksonville, Minnesota, Oakland, St Louis, San Diego and Washington.
0. Cleveland, Tampa Bay and Tennessee.

Cleveland will feature this coming week on TNF. Tennessee and Tampa Bay will also be on TNF in weeks 11 and 15 respectively. Of the current division leaders Arizona rank lowest with two television appearances. They are scheduled for two SNF appearances. First at Seattle in Week 10, and their home game against Cincinnati in week 11 becomes the first game this season to be flexed by NBC replacing Kansas @ San Diego.

As usual NFC East teams feature highly in this list. They are still big draws for television audiences in America with ten of the sixteen NFC East team appearances occurring in TNF, SNF or MNF. The AFC East has had the most team appearances with seventeen. This figure is slightly higher due to three AFC East teams featuring in International Series matches. The AFC South has the least team appearances with six - one of which was Jacksonville in the second International Series game.

With regards to Sunday early and late games - the matches that Sky have some degree of choice over, twenty teams have featured in these matches. The breakdown is as follows;

(Early Game, Late Game)

3. Buffalo (2,1), Cincinnati (3.0), Dallas (0,3), New England (2,1).
2. Carolina (1,1), New Orleans (2,0), NY Jets (1,1) Philadelphia (1,1).
1. Early game - Chicago, Green Bay, Kansas, Pittsburgh.
1. Late game - Arizona, Baltimore, Denver, Miami, NY Giants, Oakland, St Louis, Seattle.
