Watch Half Of The NFL Games Live

This coming weekend offers the rare chance for NFL fans to watch half of the scheduled games entirely. We have the Christmas Day game, followed by a triple header on Saturday, although the middle game requires Amazon Prime in order to view outside of the local markets. Then, it's usual three games available in each market on Sunday, and the finale of Monday Night football to wrap it all up. That is a total of eight opportunities to view an entire game, with 16 games on the schedule.

The Amazon Prime stream on Saturday will be the first stream for Prime of a game not being shown nationally, which has been streaming Thursday Night Football since 2017. The game will also be available on the NFL and Yahoo Sports mobile apps. In addition, Amazon Prime will stream the Jan. 10th Wild Card playoff game which will be produced by CBS. This Saturday's game will be seen in San Francisco on KNTV and in Phoenix on KSAZ Fox 10.

Meanwhile, the drought is over and football is no longer the only major sport still going now that the NBA season is underway. Many cable/satellite subscribers enjoy a free preview of the NBA package through December 29th, although not every carrier promotes this. If you are an NBA fan, it is worth checking to see if you can get every game for the next few days at no additional cost.

DETROIT: A huge Christmas present for 97.1 The Ticket, as the station gets a brand new multi-year contract as flagship station for the Lions after a five year absence. It appears that the ownership change (from CBS to Entercom) made a huge difference to the Lions, which reportedly left The Ticket after the 2015 season over criticism of the team on its talk shows.

The significance for the station is that, once again, it is home to all four major Detroit sports teams. Of course, with the delayed start of the current NBA and NHL seasons, the station is facing continuing conflicts for game broadcasts during April and May when the Tigers, Pistons, and Red Wings are all scheduled to be in full gear.


NASHVILLE: A blow to WRPT 102.5 The Game with the announcement that Floyd Reese has left his afternoon drive co-hosting gig after more than five years. The former GM of the Titans (and Oilers before their move to Nashville) for 16 seasons stated that he "decided to take a step back" while thanking station management. Jared Stillman remains as afternoon co-host, with the show now airing as "Stillman and Company" instead of "Stillman and the GM". As of press time, there has been no announcement about a regular replacement for Reese.


NEW ORLEANS: WWL 870 has its 4 to 8 PM show back to full throttle with the return (last week) of Kristian Garic as co-host along with Bobby Herbert. Garic, co-hosting for nearly three years, continues to host the studio coverage surrounding Saints broadcasts, as he has done for the past nine seasons. It was Garic who revealed that treatment for alcoholism was the reason for his nearly one month absence
