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

Mecum Auto Auctions: 16.5 hours
Premier Lacrosse League: 16 hours
INDYCAR: 11 hours
