WESTWOOD ONE PRIMETIME NFL FORMATS
As in past seasons, there will be different formats depending upon the game:
---Monday Night Football will use Format 'A' this season. The Opening Night Game (9/8/11) and the Pro Bowl will also use this format. There are 17 minutes available for station sale in Format ‘A’.
(The Monday Night doubleheader in Week 1 (9/12/11) will both use the same format,
but because the two broadcasts will overlap, Game Two will be joined in progress as soon as Game One ends on Channel ID ‘1’/ Channel name ‘SPORTS 1’. A clean feed of Game Two will be fed on Channel ID ‘3’/Channel name ‘SPORTS 3’ for those not taking both games. Similar to a WW1 Sunday afternoon doubleheader, if you are taking only the first game, there will be an optional cutaway at the end of the broadcast. If you are taking both, then at the conclusion of the first broadcast, the talent will pause two seconds before then throwing to the second game. Game Two announcers will welcome in the Game One audience and alert stations as to the next commercial break (likely to be in the 1st quarter).
---Sunday Night Football games will use Format 'B'. However, please note, that even though
the Christmas Night game will be played on a Sunday night, it will follow Format ‘C’,
NOT Format ‘B’. (Other than Christmas Night) Sunday Night Football begins each week at
7:30 PM ET with NFL Sunday, a complete wrap-up of all the day’s scores and highlights.
There are 19 minutes available for station sale in Format ‘B’.
---Thursday & Saturday Night Football games will use Format 'C'. The Christmas Night game will
also use this format. Please note that even though the Opening Night Game will be played on a
Thursday night, it will follow format ‘A’. Also, even though the Thanksgiving night game is part
of a special holiday tripleheader, it will follow the normal Thursday night format.
There are 15 minutes available for station sale in Format ‘C’.
---Wildcard and Divisional playoff doubleheaders will utilize Format 'D'. The first game of
each doubleheader contains 14 minutes of local inventory. The second game has
13 minutes available for station sale.
---Conference Championship Sunday will have a different doubleheader format---Format ‘E’.
The second game has 13 minutes available for station sale.
---Thanksgiving Day will utilize a doubleheader Format ‘F’. Local inventory for this
doubleheader is 14 and 9 minutes respectively. Thanksgiving Night will be considered
a normal Thursday night game this year and has its own regular format.
---Super Bowl XLVI will have a different format than all of the aforementioned ones and will be
announced at a later date.
