Bowlen Says NFL Keeping Thursday-Saturday Package On Own Net
The NFL will keep the eight-game Thursday-Saturday TV package on NFL Network despite rumors that the league was “considering putting [it] up for rebid,” according to John Consoli of MEDIAWEEK. Broncos Owner and NFL Broadcast Committee Chair Pat Bowlen said that team owners “plan for the network to continue to air the games for the duration of the current rights deal, which expires five years from now.” Bowlen: “We’re not concerned about making more money on another TV rights deal. We want to create a year round football network.” Bowlen added that no team owner “had talked to him about putting the games back up for bid.” He said, “They realize we are building an asset, and that it is not going to happen overnight” (MEDIAWEEK, 4/23 issue).
