Fox Sports gets ‘Thursday Night Football’ for 5 years

[Denver Native (Carol)]

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Fox and the NFL have agreed to a five-year deal for Thursday night football games.

Those games previously were televised by CBS and NBC, two of the league’s other network partners.

But Fox announced Wednesday that it will televise 11 games between Weeks 4 and 15, with simulcasts on NFL Network and Fox Deportes.

Fox, which has the Sunday afternoon NFC package, will produce all of the games.

Correct answer. For all the doom and gloom about NFL ratings, they still pull in bigger numbers than anything else on TV and the crazy price being paid to broadcast them shows that there is still great demand

Are the games going to be on Fox or some Fox cable channel?

I carefully read the article & didn't see any indication that it would be on one of the cable Fox networks.
