BW Online November 8, 2002 NBC Sports' New TV Game Plan Q: NBC walked away from broadcasting deals with the NFL, the NBA, and Major League Baseball. NBC Sports' Arena deal is part of a cost-conscious approach to programming that sets the Peacock Network apart from the three other major U.S. networks.

American Football League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The American Football League took advantage of the burgeoning popularity of football by locating teams in major cities that lacked NFL franchises, and by using the growing power of televised football games (bolstered with the help of major network contracts, first with ABC and later with NBC). In contrast to such entities as the All-America Football Conference, baseball's Federal League, the American Basketball Association and the World Hockey Association, the American Football League is the only league in North American pro sports ever to have merged with a major league and have all its teams continue to exist. Of all the leagues that have attempted to challenge the dominance of the National Football League, the AFL was the only one to be truly successful. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/American_Football_League   (3947 words)

Sports: NBC, AFL hope for mutual boost For NBC, it is a huge and possibly face-saving venture, considering it let the NFL get away in 1998, lost the NBA and Major League Baseball as well and lately has given viewers little reason for tuning in (unless, of course, you like ice skating, triathlons and skateboarding). NBC could give some stability to the AFL, which despite a long-time presence doesn't exactly brim with it; going back just five years, of the 14 teams in the league then, five remain as they were. For the AFL, NBC's exposure may be the watershed moment in a league desperate for one. www.sptimes.com /2003/01/31/news_pf/Sports/NBC__AFL_hope_for_mut.shtml   (522 words)

USATODAY.com - Bidding for the Olympics on TV But Webcasts of live events, such as major league baseball games, are being directed only to geographic areas where there are no conflicts with existing TV rights — a technique that could make the Web the place to watch the Games. And while Olympic TV tonnage is steadily expanding — NBC's outlets plan virtually round-the-clock coverage of next year's Summer Games in Athens — the new deal will likely give viewers even more access to the thousands of hours of competition in an Olympics. For next year's Summer Olympics in Athens, General Electric's NBC and four other GE-owned channels will carry about 807 hours of coverage — nearly quadrupling the total TV hours for the Atlanta Summer Games on NBC seven years ago. www.usatoday.com /sports/olympics/2003-04-21-tv-rights_x.htm   (522 words)
