Story Highlights
Seen on Screen provides a roundup of the current sports programming landscape as networks deal with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. In this week's edition, major networks like NBC Sports, Fox Sports, and ESPN are combating the silence of no live sports with previously-released, taped, or archival content. Many networks have also continued producing live studio content - often with on-air talent located remotely.
With many sports returning to play while others continue their seasons, NBC Sports presents a packed early summer slate across its three national TV networks - NBC, NBCSN and GOLF Channel.
From tomorrow through July 31, the three networks will combine to present 551.5 live event coverage hours (including pregame and postgame shows) - for an average of 12 live event hours daily over the 46-day stretch.
Following are the sports with the most live event coverage hours across NBC, NBCSN and GOLF Channel from June 16-July 31:
Golf: 211 hours
Premier League: 196.5 hours
Horse Racing: 39 hours
NASCAR: 26 hours
Mecum Auto Auctions: 16.5 hours
Premier Lacrosse League: 16 hours
INDYCAR: 11 hours
Among the highlights of NBC Sports' live event coverage through July 31:
NBC Sports presents the world's finest horse racing, including the 152nd Belmont Stakes (Sat. June 20) and the Royal Meeting from Ascot, U.K. (June 16-20), followed over the ensuing weeks by Breeders' Cup Challenge Series races.
