This Sunday, Westwood One Radio will have the opportunity to air four NFL games in a span of 13½ hours. Starting at 1 p.m. ET and running until 2:35 a.m. on Sunday, Westwood One will have an afternoon doubleheader followed by an evening twinbill.
Westwood One will offer Seattle at Indianapolis followed by Denver at Dallas on Sunday afternoon. Then in primetime, Westwood One’s Sunday Night Football game will be Houston at San Francisco and then San Diego at Oakland. The NFL moved Chargers-Raiders to late night on Sunday from its original 1:25 p.m. PT start due to the Oakland A’s playing in the MLB Postseason.
Here’s the press release and the announcing assignments for each game.
