The only network with two primetime NFL packages, NBC will utilize its "dual" SkyCam system to present a new primary-viewing angle for its coverage of THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL on Thursday, November 16 (Tennessee at Pittsburgh). Coverage starts at 7:30 p.m. ET with Football Night in Pittsburgh on NBC. NBC's Thursday Night Football schedule kicks off tonight with the Arizona Cardinals hosting the Seattle Seahawks. Coverage begins with Football Night in Arizona at 7:30 p.m. ET. Thursday Night Football will also be televised by NFL Network and Universo, and streamed live on Amazon Prime Video.
"We are excited to present a game with the majority of live-action coverage coming from SkyCam," said Fred Gaudelli, Executive Producer of NBC SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL and Thursday Night Football. "After pivoting out of necessity to SkyCam in the New England fog, we've been aggressively planning and testing with the intent of utilizing the system for a full game. Younger generations of NFL fans have grown accustomed to watching football from this angle through their love of video games. This telecast will have a look and feel akin to that experience. We'll still have our full complement of cameras and will revert to traditional coverage when situations dictate, but the primary viewing experience of the game will come from the SkyCam angle. Thursday Night Football has always been about technical innovation and new technologies, and this production will fit perfectly with that."Videos
