Fox will reportedly be a new home for Thursday Night Football next year, taking over from two seasons of split custody by NBC and CBS. Bloomberg initially reported that the network was close to a deal, and John Ourand of Sports Business Journal followed up:
As Ourand notes, the digital streaming rights for Thursday nights—which were held by a certain Seattle-based company last year—are still up for grabs. Fox has reportedly offered to pay more than the $45 million per game paid by CBS and NBC.
Thursday night games, regardless of network, look to remain generally bad.
