Quote:I don't follow.  More NFL coverage = more advertising money.  They want more prime coverage of the NFL and longer games help achieve that.
They have schedules and they have advertising rates that are based on 3 hours.  Once a game goes beyond that, they're cutting into other programming that they've also sold advertising for.  This is especially true for the network that has the double header each week. 

 

The networks don't like to delay their schedules.  Longer games don't mean more revenues. 

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
