Sunday Night Football
Sunday Night Football is a weekly television program on NBC that allows you to watch the Sunday evening National Football League games. The first program was telecast on Sunday, August 6, 2006. At present, the program stars Jerome Bettis, Tiki Barber, Dan Patrick, Cris Collinsworth, Keith Olbermann, Bob Costas, Andrea Kremer, and John Madden. The program runs for at least three hours, but the running time may get extended by the time the game is concluded.
Flexible-Scheduling System
Before August 6, 2006, ESPN used to air these Sunday Night Football programs. They aired these Sunday games from the 1987 through 2005 NFL seasons. This NBC television program is the beneficiary of the league’s new flexible -scheduling system. NFL has the flexibility to choose games to air on Sunday night from the final seven weeks of the season.
Theme Music And The Theme Song Of The Show
The instrumental theme music for Sunday Night Football has been composed by Academy Award winner John Williams. The broadcast also has a theme song, which was first sung by Pink, but in the 2007 season, the country singer Faith Hill replaced her. Different lyrics have been used for the song depending upon the occasion. Some of the lyrics include ‘Waiting All Day For Sunday Night’, and ‘Waiting All Year For Opening Night’. This theme song resembles the Joan Jett song "I Hate Myself For Loving You".
Scoreboard, Logos, And Graphics
The scoreboard, logos, and graphics of Sunday Night Football have been designed by Troika Design Group. The NBC’s show uses the same bottom line scoreboard that Monday Night Football used in the 2005 NFL season.
The 2008 schedule started on April 15. The timing for Sunday Night Football is 8:30 pm, but sometimes, the show starts at 7:00 p.m. - it recently happened on September 4 for the NFL Kickoff Game between the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants and Washington Redskins.
