Info

NBC Sunday Night Football is a weekly television broadcast of Sunday evening National Football League games on NBC that began airing on Sunday, August 6, 2006 with the pre-season opening Hall of Fame Game. Al Michaels serves as the play-by-play announcer, with Cris Collinsworth as the color commentator and Michele Tafoya as the sideline reporter. Fred Gaudelli and Drew Esocoff, the lead producer and director respectively, carry over their duties from ABC's telecasts of Monday Night Football. John Madden, the color commentator for the first three years of the program, retired prior to the 2009 season; Collinsworth succeeded him. ESPN, which aired Sunday night games from the 1987 through 2005 NFL seasons, took over Monday Night Football from sister network ABC starting in 2006. In the 2011–12 season, it was named the highest rated, most watched TV program in Nielsen ratings. In second place was American Idol, a show that had previously held the title of most watched TV program for eight consecutive seasons and eight straight years. Starting in 2012, under the new NFL television contract, a Spanish-language simulcast will eventually air on sister network Telemundo; currently like all networks with NFL television contracts, NBC's SAP channel features Spanish-language audio, though promoted by NBC as "provided by Telemundo".

NBC Sunday Night Football Audience Reviews

Dotbankey A lot of fun.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
ShelbyTMItchell NBC it is great to see football back. After not having it in 1998 anymore and then back on 2006. With the flex schedule meaning they can change a more important game for a less important game at the last second.Al Michaels and John Madden really were the team as now that Madden has retired. Cris Collingsworth is OK. But nowhere as good as Madden was and still is.But still the flex schedule was groundbreaking. As it is good that they do that in the nearly middle to end of the season where it really counts. ESPN Monday Night Football has ruined the ABC way of the show. Thank goodness for NBC Sunday Night Football to the rescue!
mm-39 Best darn football program on T V! Why because Sunday night has the biggest t v audience. At one time, Monday Night Football had the best broadcasters, production, games etc. So many people use to have Monday evenings off. Sadly, in today's 24 7 world many people work Monday evenings. Most people have Sunday evenings off, so the Sunday game has the highest ratings. For a guy like me who works almost every Sunday afternoon, and many Monday evenings Sunday night football is great. After Sunday dinner the game becomes a family event! I love the broadcast team, production and games. If there is a dog of a game listed or a more important game on Sunday Night Football will change the schedule for the big game to be on that time slot. I am a Patriot's fan so I will get my fill on Sunday Night Football. I give "NBC Sunday Night Football" a ten out of ten.
Danny Blankenship Finally after an 8 year vacation NFL football is back on NBC, and this time the peacock has struck gold! NBC this season airs the Sunday night games, the games are always the best many featuring division rivals, and teams with good records heading towards the playoffs. And the concept of the second half schedule being in flex is the greatest idea that a network could have came up with! No longer do you have to worry about late season games with teams with bad records that have no playoff shot, as NBC was given league permission to take in their opinion the best game away from one of the other two networks and air it on Sunday night. So no longer do you have to worry about seeing a bad game, plus the games are always meaningful and good. Before the game airs each week you have football night in America the studio show with the latest news and highlights of the games played that afternoon. The Studio show is great with veterans as host Bob Costas is never at a loss for words and Chris Collinsworth provides his best take on the league as always he knows his stuff, and Bettis and Sharpe seem OK as newcomers. Another great move by NBC was the broadcast team that they have chosen to call the games the best in the business as Al Michaels and John Madden at the mike enough said. Michaels and Madden have out worked everyone and their knowledge of the game can't be matched. As for the sideline reporting it is good with the informative and elegant Andrea Kremer who was an ex ESPN reporter, the broadcasters working together are just great and they make Sunday nights enjoyable. NBC has the best football games going today it now puts Monday Night Football to shame, so don't miss Sunday nights.
