AS Roma, NBC Sports Regional Networks Extend Media Deal For '15-16

AS Roma and NBC Sports Regional Networks have signed an extension to their media partnership, bringing the Italian club’s original programming to the U.S. for the '15-16 Serie A season. Per the partnership, two-hour blocks of AS Roma programming will air each week in six Comcast SportsNet markets (California, Chicago, Mid-Atlantic, New England, Northwest and Philadelphia). That includes “Roma Now,” a 30-minute lifestyle show focused on the team, and “Roma Match of the Week,” a full-replay of the club’s most recent match. The team previously had a short-term partnership with the regional networks for the final weeks of last season. The club’s first match of the season is Saturday.
