Probably the best part of DirecTv's Sunday package is the Red Zone Channel. Well, it looks like NFL Network is now going to offer it too
When the NFL extended its contract with DirecTV, the league secured the ability to eventually sell the Red Zone Channel to any interested cable companies.
When the NFL extended its contracts with FOX and CBS, the league secured the ability to do so right way.
And so, per John Ourand of SportsBusiness Journal, the league has created RedZone, a cable-specific corollary to DirecTV's Red Zone Channel.
RedZone will be produced by NFL Network, and it will originate from the league-owned broadcast operation's studios in Los Angeles.
Per Ourand, it debuts Week One, and Scott Hanson of NFLN will serve as the host. (Andrew Siciliano hosts the DirecTV version of it.)
To date, only Comcast has purchased RedZone, which will feature a series of live look-ins to the Sunday afternoon games.
