“Wednesday Night Rivalry” Continues On NBC Sports Network Tonight With Avalanche At Undefeated Blackhawks At 8 P.M. Et

March 6, 2013 By admin Leave a Comment

“The Blackhawks and their fans are in for a great spring season due to skill, heart, focus, and professionalism. They are a true must-watch team.” – Pierre McGuire

Friday Night Ice: College Hockey on NBC Sports Network Features No. 4 Maine at New Hampshire at 7:30 p.m. ET

NEW YORK – March 6, 2013 — Wednesday Night Rivalry continues tonight on NBC Sports Network featuring the Colorado Avalanche against the undefeated Chicago Blackhawks at 8 p.m. ET. The Blackhawks won a franchise-record 10th straight game last night by defeating the Minnesota Wild bringing their 2013 record to 20-0-3. The Avalanche will travel to Chicago to try and break the Blackhawks current record-setting streak.

Emmy Award-winning play-by-play commentator Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick, analyst Eddie Olczyk and ‘Inside-the-Glass’ analyst Pierre McGuire will call the game live from United Center in Chicago, Ill.

PIERRE MCGUIRE: “The Chicago Blackhawks are the real deal because of stars like Marian Hossa, Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp, and Duncan Keith. They have one of the best young leaders in all of professional sports in Jonathan Toews. The Blackhawks and their fans are in for a great spring season due to skill, heart, focus, and professionalism. They are a true must-watch team.”

JEREMY ROENICK: “Colorado has its work cut out for them. Perfect timing to get Ryan O’Reilly back in the lineup. They are going to need him and everyone at their best to beat a red hot Chicago Blackhawks. Colorado has been playing better as of late but can’t seem to get a break. I’m sure they would love to end the Blackhawks streak.”

NBC Sports Group Kicks-Off 2013 MLS Season This Saturday With D.C. United At Houston Dynamo

February 28, 2013 By admin Leave a Comment

41 Regular-Season Games this Season; 38 on NBC Sports Network and 3 on NBC

NBC Sports Network Coverage Starts at 8 p.m. ET

“What better way to kick off another MLS season than with two dynasties like D.C. and Houston. This will be fun.” – Kyle Martino

“D.C. definitely have a score to settle at BBVA Compass Stadium on Saturday.” – Arlo White

Wall-to-Wall Soccer Coverage During “Rivalry Weekend” on Saturday, March 16, with Two Games on NBC Sports Network, One on NBC, and Studio Coverage of that Day’s Entire Schedule of MLS Games

NEW YORK – Feb., 27, 2013 –The NBC Sports Group begins its second season of MLS coverage with a rematch of the 2012 Eastern Conference Championship when D.C. United faces off against Houston Dynamo this Saturday at 8 p.m. ET on the NBC Sports Network. D.C. United will travel to BBVA Compass Stadium to square off against the Dynamo who is currently riding a 25-game regular-season home unbeaten streak.

Additionally, D.C. captain Dwayne De Rosario will return to Houston after missing United’s 3-1 Conference Final (first leg) loss due to injury last season. A two time MLS Cup champion with Houston (2006, 2007), De Rosario and D.C. hope to stop Houston’s dynamic attack led by veteran Brad Davis.

COMMENTATORS: NBC Sports Group’s broadcast team of Arlo White (@arlowhite, play-by-play), and Kyle Martino (@kylemartino, “Between the Benches” analyst) will call the game from BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston, Texas. Russ Thaler (@RussThaler) will host the pre-game, halftime and post-game segments live from the game site, with contributions from White and Martino.

WHITE ON THE SEASON OPENER: “We kick off 2013 on NBC Sports Network with the same exciting match-up that ended our 2012 coverage in the Eastern Conference Final. In November, Houston’s quality and experience was too much in for an exciting but tiring D.C. United. Ben Olsen’s team is brimming with youthful attacking talent like Chris Pontius and Nick DeLeon, but can also call upon the experience and quality of Dwayne De Rosario and new signing Carlos Ruiz. Will Bruin has taken over the goal scoring mantle from Houston club legend Brian Ching, and in Brad Davis, Boniek Garcia and Ricardo Clark they have a hard working and very creative midfield.”

RIVALRY WEEKEND: NBC and NBC Sports Network will present unprecedented wall-to-wall coverage on during “Rivalry Weekend” on Saturday, March 16, during which the networks will cover all MLS games that day.

NBC begins the day with the New York Red Bulls vs. D.C. United at 12:30 p.m. ET, from Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J. NBC Sports Network will air two more games that day, beginning with Sporting KC vs. Chicago Fire at 3 p.m. ET, and the Seattle Sounders host the Portland Timbers later that night.

After calling the New York Red Bulls-D.C. United match, NBC Sports Group’s MLS announce team of White (play-by-play) and Martino (“Between-the-Benches” analyst) and Thaler (host), will travel to the new NBC Sports Group studios in Stamford, Conn., to host a studio “whip around” showcasing coverage of the rest of that day’s MLS games.

“Wednesday Night Rivalry” Continues On NBC Sports Network With Doubleheader

February 20, 2013 By admin Leave a Comment

Philadelphia at Pittsburgh at 7:30 p.m. ET followed by St. Louis at Colorado at 10 p.m. ET

NBC & NBC Sports Network Experience Viewership Increases

Friday Night Ice: College Hockey Action Friday on NBC Sports Network features No. 14 Yale at No. 1 Quinnipiac at 7:30 p.m. ET and No. 6 North Dakota at No. 10 Denver at 10 p.m. ET

NEW YORK – Feb. 19, 2013 — Wednesday Night Rivalry continues tomorrow on NBC Sports Network with a doubleheader featuring the Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers at 7:30 p.m. ET, immediately followed by St. Louis at Colorado at 10 p.m. ET.

The Penguins are currently first in the Eastern Conference with 22 points, while the Flyers are looking to gain ground (15 points). Last year, the Flyers eliminated their in-state rival, the Penguins, in the first round of the playoffs (4-2) in a series in which the two teams combined for 56 goals in six games. The Blues have won their last three games and look for another win against the Avalanche in this week’s Western Conference showdown.

Emmy Award-winning play-by-play announcer Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick, analyst Eddie Olczyk and Pierre McGuire (‘Inside-the-Glass’ analyst) will be live from Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Penn. John Forslund (play-by-play) and Brian Engblom (Inside-the-Glass analyst) will call the action from the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colo.

MIKE MILBURY: “Anybody that has seen the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers in the past knows that there is no love lost between the two teams. That means that fans will get a spirited effort from both clubs. On one side, you have Sidney Crosby, one of the most talented players in the league who is on quite a run right now, and on the other is Claude Giroux who single-handedly buried the Penguins last spring.”

BRIAN ENGBLOM: “The St. Louis Blues are a terrific, well-balanced team with a mobile defense and four amazing strong lines up front. Colorado is a young team that has been battling some injuries. Because of that, the special teams will be a big factor. St. Louis will be a favorite in this match up.”

ADDITIONAL GAMES

NBC Sports Network’s NHL coverage will continue on Sun., Feb. 24 with the Tampa Bay Lighting facing off against the Pittsburgh Penguins at 7:30 p.m. ET. On Mon., Feb. 25, the Dallas Stars take on the Nashville Predators at 8 p.m. ET, followed by Tuesday’s coverage of the Boston Bruins at the N.Y. Islanders at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Next week’s Wednesday Night Rivalry will feature another doubleheader with Washington at Philadelphia at 7:30 p.m. ET, followed by Detroit at Los Angeles at 10 p.m. ET.

VIEWERSHIP

NBC and NBC Sports Network are experiencing significant viewership increases this season. Through four games, the NHL on NBC is averaging 1.86 million viewers, up 39% over last year’s regular season, excluding the Winter Classic (1.34 million).

Additionally, through 13 NHL games this season, NBC Sports Network has averaged 462,000 viewers, making it the best start in network history*, and an increase of 39% over last year’s full regular-season average (332,000).

NBC Sports Group Celebrates “Hockey Day In America” Presented By Discover Card This Sunday

February 15, 2013 By admin Leave a Comment

Coverage Begins at Noon ET on NBC From New York City’s Trump Rink in Central Park

NBC Sports Will Tell the Story of America’s Passion for Hockey with Numerous Features Throughout the Day Across NBC and NBC Sports Network

NHL Tripleheader: Pittsburgh Penguins-Buffalo Sabres at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC; Los Angeles Kings-Chicago Blackhawks at 3:30 p.m. ET on NBC; Washington Capitals-New York Rangers at 6 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network

NEW YORK – February 12, 2013 - NBC Sports Group will celebrate the third annual Hockey Day in America by delivering nine hours of hockey coverage on NBC and NBC Sports Network, including numerous features that tell the story of America’s passion for hockey, weaved within an NHL tripleheader that features six U.S. teams.

Coverage begins Sunday at Noon ET on NBC with NHL Live originating from Trump Rink in New York City’s Central Park. Liam McHugh will anchor NBC Sports’ live pre-game and intermission coverage, and will be joined by analysts Jeremy Roenick, Mike Milbury and Keith Jones.

Following NHL Live at 12:30 p.m. ET, NBC and NBC Sports Network will deliver three games. NBC will broadcast a doubleheader featuring one Western Conference and one Eastern Conference matchup. In the early game, Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins will take the ice against Ryan Miller and the Buffalo Sabres. Then at 3:30 p.m. ET, the defending Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings will face off against the undefeated (10-0-2) Chicago Blackhawks. At 6 p.m. ET NBC Sports Network will conclude the Hockey Day In America celebration with an Eastern Conference matchup between Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals against Henrik Lundqvist and the New York Rangers. Both NBC broadcasts will be available online and via mobile through NBC Sports Live Extra and the NBC Sports Live Extra App.

NBC Sports will weave the stories of America’s affinity for hockey into and around its coverage of the three NHL games, which will include interviewing and highlighting American players. Among the stories scheduled to be told on Sunday:

Ice Hockey in Harlem

Ice Hockey in Harlem is a non-profit organization for youth that uses the sport of hockey to promote academic achievement, teamwork and character. Their motto is “Education is the Goal” and the organization has served the community for 25 years. The program is only open to those living north of 110th Street in Manhattan and there is a waiting list to enroll each fall. At the core of this non-profit organization are lessons that stick with the kids for life. Themes such as family, commitment, dedication and giving back are passed on to these local area children, which will help in creating a better future, leaders and role models.

Jack Jablonski’s Road To Recovery

Jack Jablonski was a promising ice hockey player for Benilde-St. Margaret’s high school in suburban Minneapolis. On December 30, 2011, a check from behind during a JV game left him paralyzed from the chest down. That same day, Jablonski’s boyhood idol, Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson had surgery to repair torn ligaments in his left knee. Jablonski and Peterson both faced grueling rehabilitation programs and seemingly insurmountable odds. Then something curious happened and they met during the summer. Jablonski naturally was inspired by Peterson and all the hard work he’d done to get back to the Vikings’ training camp. What’s surprising is that Peterson was deeply inspired by Jablonski as well and used him as motivation during his comeback, which resulted in one of the greatest years ever by a running back. Jablonski has also exceeded expectations, regaining some movement that his doctors never expected.

Hockey Hair

Skaters streaking down the ice with long, flowing hair trailing behind them has been a common sight at hockey games for decades. Unlike playoff beards, which are widely believed to have been popularized by Islanders teams of the early 1980s, the exact origins of hockey hair have never been adequately explained. Michelle Beadle and Jeremy Roenick will dive back into NHL history and explore the long legacy of Hockey Hair.

A Little Boys Winter Classic

During the NHL lockout this past December, eight-year old Christopher John thought of holding his own Winter Classic. Working with his parents and his teammates on the North Jersey Avalanche, John turned his dream in to a reality. The Avalanche took on the Long Island Royals at Central Park’s Lasker Rink on December 23rd. Along the way, John’s idea for a game took on greater meaning and served as a fundraiser for victims of Hurricane Sandy. New York Rangers LW Carl Hagelin and D Ryan McDonagh heard about the game and showed up at 8 a.m. to cheer the kids on. To date, the campaign has generated $25,000 for Hurricane Sandy relief.

Hockey Day in America is part of Hockey Weekend Across America. Launched by USA Hockey in 2008, Hockey Weekend Across America is a nationwide initiative to celebrate the game at all levels and to expose hockey to new audiences.

Hockey Day In America NHL Tripleheader

The tripleheader will begin at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC when the Buffalo Sabres host the Pittsburgh Penguins at First Niagara Center in Buffalo, NY. Gord Miller will serve as the play-by-play announcer for the game and will be joined by “Inside the Glass” analyst Joe Micheletti.

At 3:30 p.m. ET on NBC, the Los Angeles Kings travel to the United Center in Chicago Ill. to take on the Chicago Blackhawks. Veteran play-by-play announcer Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick will call the action and will be joined by analyst Eddie Olczyk. “Inside the Glass” analyst Pierre McGuire will report from the ice.

The Hockey Day In America tripleheader wraps up at 6 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network when the New York Rangers host the Washington Capitals at Madison Square Garden in New York, NY. Dave Strader will manage play-by-play duties for the game and Brian Engblom will serve as the “Inside the Glass” analyst.

The points system features 36 stakes races overall and 17 marquee events for 3-year-old Thoroughbreds that comprise a 10-week run up to the first Saturday in May.

“The Jockey Club is committed to bringing some of our sport’s best races to a national television audience, and we are proud to be underwriting the Road to the Kentucky Derby again this spring in collaboration with the NBC Sports Group and six racetracks,” said Ogden Mills Phipps, chairman of The Jockey Club. “Increasing the television presence of Thoroughbred racing is one of the fan development initiatives we have embraced over the past 18 months, and we will continue to aggressively cross-promote Thoroughbred racing not only on television but also on a variety of traditional and new digital media platforms.”

“These important prep races build excitement and interest in the Kentucky Derby and they also complement the NBC Sports Group’s coverage of the sport of Thoroughbred racing, which already includes long-term deals for the Triple Crown races and Breeders’ Cup as well as races from Saratoga,” said Jon Miller, president, programming, NBC Sports and NBC Sports Network.

Increased television coverage of Thoroughbred racing and the development of a new digital media strategy were among nine major recommendations identified in the major economic study of the Thoroughbred industry that was commissioned by The Jockey Club and conducted in association with the management consulting firm McKinsey & Company in 2011.

“Wednesday Night Rivalry” Continues On NBC Sports Network With St. Louis At Detroit At 7:30 P.M. ET

February 13, 2013 By admin Leave a Comment

“The Central Division has had the heaviest, fiercest and heated rivalries because of the toughness of the players.” – Jeremy Roenick

Friday Night Ice: College Hockey Action Friday on NBC Sports Network features No. 13 Boston University at Maine at 7 p.m. ET

Weekly Coverage in Addition to NBC Sports Group’s presentation of “Hockey Day in America” this Sunday

NEW YORK – Feb. 12, 2013 — Wednesday Night Rivalry continues tomorrow on NBC Sports Network when Central Division rivals, the St. Louis Blues and Detroit Red Wings, meet at 7:30 p.m. ET, live from Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Mich. The teams have already met three times this season with Detroit taking home two wins against the Blues, who defeated the Red Wings in the last game on Jan. 19. Currently, the Blues are just two points behind Detroit (15 points) in the Western Conference.

Emmy Award-winning play-by-play announcer Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick, analyst Eddie Olczyk and Pierre McGuire (‘Inside-the-Glass’ analyst) will be on-site for NBC Sports Network’s game tomorrow.

JEREMY ROENICK: “The Central Division has had the heaviest, fiercest and heated rivalries because of the toughness of the players. The division was by far the most physical in the NHL, and the Blues and Red Wings rivalry started to escalate in the late 90’s with the higher echelon of players coming to the forefront. That’s what I always enjoy watching, not only for the raw talent, but raw toughness.”

PIERRE MCGUIRE: “The Red Wings have embraced a grinding style that they apply with passion. Coach Mike Babcock has done a great job getting his players to buy in. Last year Blue’s Coach Ken Hitchcock got his players to buy into the same style. Can he do it again? If so, this game will be about hard hits, strong board play and excellent goaltending.”

MIKE ‘DOC’ EMRICK: “Fierce rivalries stem from being too familiar. Already the Red Wings and Blues have played three games in three weeks. 20 goals scored, misconducts with no suspensions have resulted in bad feelings. If you wear the Blue Note or the Winged Wheel, pictures on the dressing room wall of past matches and your ancestors who played in them remind you of what it all means.”

This Sunday, NBC Sports Group will celebrate the third annual “Hockey Day in America” by delivering nine hours of hockey coverage on NBC and NBC Sports Network, including numerous features that tell the story of America’s passion for hockey, weaved within an NHL tripleheader that features six U.S. teams. Coverage begins Sunday at Noon ET on NBC with NHL Live originating from Trump Rink in New York City’s Central Park. NBC Sports Network’s coverage that day will see the N.Y. Rangers host the Washington Capitals at 6 p.m. ET.

NFL Turning Point takes and in-depth look at the 49ers record-breaking comeback in the second half of the game and how the team recovered from a 28-6 deficit. In addition the episode reviews San Francisco’s final drive of the game that almost gave the 49ers the win. NFL Films examines San Francisco’s play calling, clock management and inability to score in the red zone with two minutes left.
NFL Films shines a spotlight on Ravens WR Jacoby Jones and his 108-yard kickoff return to begin the second half of the Super Bowl.
NFL Turning Point also explores the power outage in the building and how the unexpected 34-minute delay impacted both teams.

Each week NFL Turning Point is built around select NFL match-ups from the previous weekend, and focuses on the crucial “turning point” moments that ultimately defined the outcome of each game. The show features anatomy-of-a-play type segments and long form, Game-of-the-Week style narratives that includes the pre-game and post-game access, sideline sounds, jaw-dropping cinematography and incredible storytelling that is synonymous with NFL Films.
