oldschooler Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 The National Football League reached agreement with [url="http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/TWC:US"]Time Warner (TWC)[/url] Cable Inc. to carry the league-owned NFL Network and RedZone Channel, a person with direct knowledge of the situation said. The multiyear accord may be announced later today, according to the person, who was granted anonymity because the contract hasn’t been signed. New York-based Time Warner, the second-largest U.S. cable company with about 12 million subscribers, had been the only major cable provider without the NFL Network. It isn’t known when the channels will appear on Time Warner systems, the person said. The agreement comes about a month after the most-watched U.S. sports league reached agreement with Cablevision Systems Inc. to carry the two channels. NFL Network airs 13 primetime regular-season games. RedZone is a game-day network that shows touchdowns and important plays inside the 20-yard line. NFL Network will carry the [url="http://topics.bloomberg.com/cleveland-browns/"]Cleveland Browns[/url] at the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 27. Time Warner spokeswoman [url="http://topics.bloomberg.com/maureen-huff/"]Maureen Huff[/url] declined to comment. NFL spokesmen [url="http://topics.bloomberg.com/brian-mccarthy/"]Brian McCarthy[/url] and Dan Masonson didn’t immediately return e-mails and phone calls seeking comment on whether an agreement had been reached. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-09-21/nfl-said-to-have-deal-with-time-warner-for-nfl-network-redzone.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go back and forth between all the games covering teams that are in the red zone trying to score. The best part of all the games. They show highlights, split screens when there are multiple games in the red zone and give you good commentary on all the exciting things going on during the day. Good get for cable.
