NFL Creates New Thursday Night Package

The eight-game programming slate's price tag could reach the $600 million mark

The National Football League is shopping a new package of Thursday night games that would add approximately 26 hours of prime-time action to the broadcast schedule.

The early-season, eight-game slate would set the table for the existing package of Thursday night games televised by the NFL Network in November and December. And while sources say the NFL hasn’t set a price, the new package could fetch as much as $75 million per game, or $600 million for the half-season run.
