26CornerBlitz Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 @Ourand_SBJ NFL News: League sends out formal RFPs for Thursday night package - 2-years; heavy on the digital. SBD's story: http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/2015/12/16/Media/NFL-Thursday.aspx The NFL has told TV networks that it is ready to accept bids for the “Thursday Night Football” package that, once again, will be for just two years, according to several sources. The league last week sent formal RFPs to the usual TV partners and outlets -- CBS, ESPN, Fox, NBC and Turner -- that outlined the NFL’s plan to sell a one-year deal with a league option for a second year. The league also sent RFPs to several digital companies, like Google, Yahoo, Apple and Amazon, to stream the entire Thursday night schedule on a non-exclusive basis, sources said. The league’s initial plan would have the digital streams serve as a simulcast of the television production -- with the same ads and in-game production features.
