Football is just about back in full swing and just today NBC announced their broadcasting team for the 2016 season. Sunday night football is on a historic run as they have now gone 5 consecutive years being TV’s #1 primetime show.
This year’s crew will consist or legendary play-by-play voice Al Michaels. Cris Collinsworth as an analyst. Heather Cox and Michele Tafoya will be the sideline reporter.
It is good to note that NBC will not just do Sunday night football this year they will do Thursday Night Football weeks 11-16. This does not count the Thanksgiving day primetime game or the week 1 NFL Kickoff game between the Panthers and the Broncos. In total, NBC will broadcast 28 games in 2016.
