With FOX sprinkling Saturday night games into their college basketball schedule, and their MLS coverage being reduced to secondary (although they only had like four matches on broadcast FOX to begin with so it can't be much) maybe a couple more primetime windows? Maybe weeks 2 and 5 (the one that was on FS1 and the one NBC had), plus which ever ones ABC has for the NBA playoffs. All would obviously be done by the time their MLB starts up Memorial Day weekend.
Also, much as FOX almost exclusively had Birmingham (only one they didn't was coincidentally WWE night) it would be the markets with teams so they don't get the laugher of having 100 there if they're lucky.
I don't remember what the ratings breakdown was but this could be in play.

NBC and FOX will likely both use more lead ins for the games, I think that's whet you are recallingherns wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 2:37 pmI forget who but I remember one of the league execs saying the game windows is something they learned from and are going to change so I could se USFL on prime time for sureMGB01 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 1:50 pm With FOX sprinkling Saturday night games into their college basketball schedule, and their MLS coverage being reduced to secondary (although they only had like four matches on broadcast FOX to begin with so it can't be much) maybe a couple more primetime windows?
