Peacock gets NFL exclusives

[Bob Jersey]

After the regular-season schedule was discovered to include a Christmas weekend game (Buffalo at L.A. Chargers) going only to the streamer, they've now also been awarded... a playoff game on Wild Card Saturday... both are in primetime, of course...

The Bills-Chargers matchup will include a commercial-free fourth quarter (other content will appear during the breaks, as Westwood One and the respective teams' radio outlets are not involved in the deal)

I was watching the Oilers-Rangers NHL game, which was an exclusive ESPN+ broadcast, last night and they mentioned that the third period would be commercial free. They took the usual breaks to dry scrape the ice and the broadcast stayed with the booth announcers. Maybe this is going to be a trend.

I watched the game in Canada on TSN, who has the rights to broadcast NFL in Canada (including the peacock and Amazon Prime games).     I recall seeing some extra filler content in the last quarter. Maybe I should rewind the tivo to check.

But now I'm wondering if TSN got screwed over on slots to air advertising in the Canadian market. Hmm.
