NBC to Stream Live NFL Games Online This Fall
In a bid to provide more digital content, the NFL will stream 17 live, regular season games on NBCsports.com and NFL.com. This is the first time that NFL games have ever been streamed live. Football Fans Rejoice!
The video will be courtesy of the NBC broadcast feed, and will feature announcers Al Michaels and John Madden, two of the most respected announcers in sports. The NFL and NBC will likely split whatever online ad revenue emerges from the joint venture. We are sure there will be a lot of it.
Don't think you have to wait long for this to happen either. The season opener between the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins on September 4 will be the first game streamed live.
Nice. [Source: USA Today}
