Thursday open thread: What is the future of NFL broadcasting?

The 2023 NFL schedule set the Detroit Lions up for some time in the spotlight, though that spotlight will come from a few different places. Thanks to some love from the league in terms of primetime contests, the Lions will experience the whole gambit of television options, with games on FOX, CBS, NBC, ESPN, and Amazon Prime Video.

While shared TV packages are nothing new for the NFL, the element of streaming is causing a significant change. “Thursday Night Football” is owned exclusively by Amazon now, and this season a playoff game will live on NBC’s Peacock alone.
