TV SPRTS; Flexible NFL Schedule Should Suit NBC
New York Times – Aug 1, 2006
toolsContainer –>. toolsRight –>By RICHARD SANDMIR Published: August 1 2006 You cannot examine NBC’s Sunday night National Football League schedule without sensing that after being away from the sport since the 1998 Super Bowl (you can’t really count the XFL and the arena league) it sought special aid to acquire the best slate of prime-time games in years. Anyone who has watched Dick Ebersol the chairman of NBC Universal Sports maneuver through the lympic baseball football and basketball rights landscape for the past 17 years would not be surprised if he had learned a spell or two from watching reruns of the witches on ”Charmed. ” NBC’s schedule is unlike any other ever given to a network because from Weeks 10 to 15 and on Week 17 NBC will be able to swap the game perched tentatively on its schedule for one now on CBS’s or Fox’s menus. The league will make the final choice 12 days before any game switch. The flexibility was part of what NBC acquired when the league moved what had been ABC’s ”Monday Night Football” package to Sundays and let ESPN take its cable games from Sunday nights to Mondays in prime time.
