NFL RedZone from NFL Network is a "special" game-day exclusive channel owned and operated by NFL Network since 2009. It broadcasts on Sundays during the NFL regular season from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern (10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific). RedZone provides "whip around" simulcast coverage of all Sunday afternoon games airing in-progress on CBS and Fox.
RedZone is based out of the NFL Network studios and is hosted by Scott Hanson, and airs commercial-free. The channel prides itself on showing "every touchdown from every game," and is closely linked to Fantasy Football, reporting superlatives and tracking various statistical accomplishments throughout the afternoon. RedZone monitors coverage of the traditional Sunday afternoon 1:00 p.m. "early" games and 4:05/4:25 p.m. "late" games.
RedZone is offered by numerous cable providers, Dish Network, and Verizon Wireless smartphones, but specifically is not available on DirecTV, which offers its own version (Red Zone Channel hosted by Andrew Siciliano) as part of NFL Sunday Ticket.
The channel is similar in format and style to ESPN Goal Line, which debuted one year later.
On game day, RedZone channel signs-on at 11:30 a.m. eastern with the 90-minute pregame show NFL Fantasy Live. The talk show primarily focuses on fantasy football, and late-breaking news, and is hosted by James Koh, Michael Fabiano, Adam Rank, and Akbar Gbaja-Biamila. Unlike the game coverage, commercials are inserted during the pregame show.
