CBS, NBC will share Thursday Night Football

This is good for me - the more Football we air the better for my sales staff!!

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/02/01/cbs-nbc-will-share-thursday-night-football/

Under the new deal, CBS and NBC will air five Thursday night games apiece in 2016-2017.

CBS has aired eight Thursday night games a year for the last two years. NFL Network has simulcast those games and had exclusive rights to the others. Under the new deal, NFL Network will have an exclusive eight-game package that includes Thursday night games and late-season Saturday night games in addition to continuing to simulcast the CBS and NBC games.

Channels I need to avoid on Thursday night.

Actually, the Thursday games were ok...but God, every MNF game this year stunk.

I think ever since ABC moved the games to ESPN they got progressively worse. It was like the NFL was punishing ESPN or something . . .
