The beginning of the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE's 100th regular season on THURSDAY (9/5) with the CHICAGO-GREEN BAY game also marks the 33rd consecutive season for WESTWOOD ONE as the exclusive network radio partner of the league. WESTWOOD ONE has the rights to a regular season package that includes MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, THANKSGIVING DAY, and the postseason, including the SUPER BOWL.
KEVIN HARLAN and KURT WARNER are back to call MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL for WESTWOOD ONE and will also call THURSDAY's game, with JAMES LOFTON filling in on some broadcasts, JIM GRAY returning as pregame and halftime anchor, and TOM BRADY and LARRY FITZGERALD back for weekly segments. KEVIN KUGLER and JASON TAYLOR will return to call SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL with ROD WOODSON and BRIAN GRIESE filling in at times. IAN EAGLE and TONY BOSELLI will again call THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, and SCOTT GRAHAM will be back as studio host for SUNDAY and THURSDAY night games.
The network will also offer special programming to commemorate the 100th season of the NFL, including a 100-part short-form series, "NFL 100 ON WESTOOD ONE," starting THURSDAY.
