A portable toilet can either be connected to

785-477: A basic package and a carriage fee of $ 0.61 per subscriber. Time Warner Cable and other major cable providers wished to place it on a sports tier. Cable companies felt that a channel with such marginal interest, few live games, and filler programming, would be tough to sell outside of the football season. In February 2008, The Wall Street Journal reported that the NFL had been in discussion with Disney executives over

942-591: A berth in the Bowl Championship Series . The NFL denied that request and would only offer the free preview if Cablevision and/or Time Warner Cable made the entire preview week available to customers. TWC then offered to carry the free preview on a digital tier. Cablevision, however, continued to refuse to carry any NFL Network programming other than the Texas Bowl. It even announced that Cablevision would put it on channel 14 (normally occupied by

1099-429: A brief introduction of the day, highlighting key developing stories, as teams are typically already lining up for opening kickoff. When the first kickoff takes place, Hanson will say "Seven hours of commercial-free football... starts now!" Coverage of the opening kickoffs and a cursory look at early drives that are being established are the initial focus. Coverage is normally shown in full-screen, with one particular game as

1256-416: A broadcaster-designated commercial break or other stoppage (such as timeout, instant replay challenge or an injury timeout), the feed will immediately switch to the next most-interesting game in-progress at the moment. Despite the network's commercial-free commitment, commercials are not completely avoided as sometimes the network coverage may take a break faster than expected, causing the first second or two of

1413-411: A certain size. The technical review consultation on increasing accessibility and provision of toilets for men and women in municipal and private sector locations outlined the context in a call for evidence to be submitted: There needs to be proper provision of gender-specific toilets for both men and women, with a clear steer in building standards guidance. In recent years, there has been a trend towards

1570-400: A commercial to air, before RedZone quickly cuts to another game, which usually includes Hanson jokingly playing off the brush with the accompanying commercial with some kind of snark. Additionally, broadcast network promotions of their programming (most notably CBS and Fox promoting their Sunday night primetime lineups) will be shown as a natural part of the coverage. If all games being held at

1727-438: A facility featuring toilets and sinks designed for use by the public, but "restroom" and "bathroom" are often used interchangeably for any room with a toilet (both in public and in private homes).

The RedZone Channel is available on most American pay television providers carrying the NFL Network, and

2041-411: A given moment are on a commercial break or in halftime, coverage will revert to the studio for brief commentary, replays, or statistical analysis by Hanson. In the "late" timeslot (when there are fewer games to choose from), highlight packages of selected "early" games may be shown during down times. As the 4:05/4:25 p.m. "late" games begin to arrive at their conclusions, coverage will narrow down to

2198-430: A given moment, the focus may shift to a team on a strong offensive drive, or an otherwise important game of the day. Despite the channel's moniker, a team does not have to be inside the red zone for the focus and coverage to shift to that game. During the latter portion of the season, extra sidebar attention may be given to teams fighting for playoff berths, and the respective status thereof. The "whip around" coverage also

2355-464: A high standard, although provisions were higher for men than women. Most have been closed as they did not have disabled access, and were more prone to vandalism and sexual encounters, especially in the absence of an attendant. A few remain in London, but others have been converted into alternative uses such as cafes, bars and even dwellings. In the early days of the colony of Hong Kong, people would go to

2512-514: A highly anticipated match-up. This controversy would pale in comparison to the final game the NFL Network would broadcast that season. In December 2007, U.S. Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts wrote a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell asking for the league to settle their differences in time for the New England Patriots - New York Giants game on December 29 that would be broadcast on Saturday Night Football . The game

2826-505: A lesser extent, in Southern European countries. In many of those countries, anal cleansing with water is also the cultural norm and easier to perform while squatting than seated.

2983-706: A lower scoreboard. During Week 12 coverage in November 2023, a fire alarm went off at the Inglewood NFL Network studio which interrupted a live redzone broadcast which results in Hanson and the RedZone production team being evacuated from the studio briefly leading to the RedZone broadcast to be fixed on the Bills vs. Eagles game from that week. The alarm later turned out to a false alarm and Hansen returned to

3140-647: A modest, honourable man to prepare to relieve nature in the presence of other people, nor do up his clothes afterward in their presence. Similarly, he will not wash his hands on returning to decent society from private places, as the reason for his washing will arouse disagreeable thoughts in people.” Historian Lawrence Stone contends that the development of these new behaviours had nothing to do with problems of hygiene and bacterial infection, but rather with conforming to increasingly artificial standards of gentlemanly behaviour. These standards were internalized at an early age. Over time, much that had to be explained earlier

3297-467: A multi-year deal to air Alliance of American Football games, broadcasting two games per week, most of them on Saturday and Sunday nights.

3454-529: A new contract. On July 30, 2009, NFL Network was made available to lower-tiered Comcast digital cable subscribers. NFL Network later filed a discrimination case against Comcast with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), claiming that since Comcast does not charge an extra fee for the sports channels it owns, Versus and Golf Channel , it considered Comcast's move to charge extra for NFL Network unfair. On October 10, 2008,

These problems continue for women and girls in all parts of the world. The practice of pay toilets emerged in the US in the late 19th century. In these spaces, public toilets could only be accessed by paying a fee. Sex-separated pay toilets were available at

3768-520: A portion of the package would air in simulcast on broadcast television, and CBS Sports would produce all games. Specific games would still be exclusive to NFL Network to comply with carriage agreements guaranteeing a minimum number of exclusive NFL broadcasts per-season. In 2016, NBC Sports also gained a portion of the package under a similar arrangement. Fox Sports took over the package from 2018 to 2022. With Amazon Prime Video taking over exclusive rights to Thursday Night Football beginning in

3925-415: A potential scoring result (touchdown or field goal). Meanwhile, the other games continue to be monitored, in case the need arises to switch to another feed at short notice.

As the games enter halftime, the coverage shifts over to games still finishing up

4082-496: A provider's own viewing app. Before the 2018 season , the app was one of the few exceptions where some form of access to NFL games is offered beyond Verizon Wireless subscribers due to that provider's mobile rights exclusivity (That season, Verizon-owned Yahoo Sports opened its live NFL streams to users from other mobile phone providers). Including the 18 Sundays of the NFL regular season , and as many as five special broadcasts during

4239-671: A public toilet in the United States is the Old School Privy . The American architect Frank Lloyd Wright claimed to have "invented the hung wall for the w.c.

4396-475: A range of people, including the homeless, disabled, outdoor workers and those whose illnesses mean that they frequently need to access a toilet. The decline of the great British public toilet is described by the Royal Society for Public Health as creating a “urinary leash” which restricts how far people can travel out from their homes. The lack of public toilets for females reflects their exclusion from

4553-487: A result, much of the network's highlights and recaps feature NFL Films' trademark style of slow-motion game action, sounds of the game, and sideline conversations between players and/or team staff. Both the network's site and app, were launched in 2004 (on NFL.com) and 2009, respectively.

On December 21, however, after New Jersey legislators threatened legal action, Cablevision changed its mind and indeed showed not only the game between Rutgers and Kansas State , but also

5181-826: A toilet on the steps of the California State Capitol. By the 1990s most US jurisdictions had migrated away from pay toilets. Until 1992, U.S. female senators had to use toilets located on different floor levels than the ones they were working on, a reflection of their intrusion in an all-male profession. While some public facilities were available to females in London by 1890, there were much fewer than those available to males. Toilets also were assigned strong moral overtones. While public water closets were considered necessary for sanitation reasons, they were viewed as offending public sensibilities. It has been said that because public facilities were associated with access to public spaces, extending these rights to women

5338-405: A very brief time shift – ranging from as much as 30 to 60 seconds – sometimes because another scoring play is unfolding elsewhere. Time shifting can also occur if the scoring play happened unexpectedly, and/or initiated from outside the red zone.

"Bathroom" is generally used to refer to the room in a person's home that includes a bathtub or shower while a room with only a toilet and sink in a person's residence is typically called a "washroom" because one would wash one's hands in it upon returning home or before a meal or a "powder room" because women would fix their make-up on their faces in that room.

9891-555: The "early" time slot that become blowouts are sometimes completely ignored (except for very brief replays of touchdowns to maintain the promise of showing "every touchdown from every game", or merely to fill time when other games are in commercial) Likewise a scoreless, or very low scoring game, will not garner much attention either until the end of the game if still tied. Furthermore, many fans still prefer to watch complete games. Other complaints include middling games without playoff or draft positioning implications being nearly pushed off

10048-508: The 16th century, which eventually led to a resurgence of public toilets. While it had been perfectly acceptable to relieve oneself anywhere, civility increasingly required the removal of waste product from contact with others.

As an act of protest against this phenomenon, in 1969 California Assemblywoman March Fong Eu destroyed

RCN Corporation , the 12th-largest cable provider in the U.S., stated that the league's deal with CBS and NBC "devalues its contract with the league’s in-house service."

If that were

As such a change would require a rework of the league's collective bargaining agreement, it was unable to fulfill that request and instead renewed its agreement with ESPN. On January 31, 2019, NFL Network signed

11461-400: The NFL may terminate our rights. As a result these networks may be removed from lineups as soon as 5/1." On April 10, 2009, it was confirmed that Comcast would remove the channel on that date due to failing to reach a carriage agreement. However, on April 30, 2009, NFL Network announced that it would continue to be carried on Comcast in the interim while both sides tried to reach an agreemenet on

11618-753: The NFL season since 2020, and NFL Red Zone airs in the UK in its entirety on Sky Sports Mix. Since the 2017 season, NFL Network is a part of the IPTV subscription service DAZN , which also offers NFL RedZone to German viewers. NFL Network is available on NFL GamePass Free Tier. NFL RedZone is available on the Pro Tier. The launch of the Thursday Night Football package led NFL Network to increasingly insist on carriage on lower subscription tiers of television providers; in particular, demanding carriage on

11775-506: The agreement after one season. Since 2019, NFL Network has annually carried the Black College Football Hall of Fame Classic , a college football kickoff game that features a matchup of two historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) on the Sunday before Labor Day . The HBCU Legacy Bowl , a postseason all-star game involving draft-eligible HBCU players, also has broadcast rights held by NFL Network. In

11932-553: The air, and since the early years of the channel he has purposefully planned out his eating and drinking schedule during the regular season to avoid any need for a restroom break, having boasted on Twitter on December 10, 2017 (that year's Week 14) about his first restroom break in four years of NFL RedZone coverage. It is not unusual for RedZone to switch between two or more games in quick succession, even between individual plays. Despite an effort made by producers to air all touchdowns live , some scoring plays are actually aired after

12089-482: The broadcasts. Collinsworth won the Sports Emmy for best game analyst for his work on the NFL Network telecasts. Dick Vermeil replaced Collinsworth for two games in 2006; Marshall Faulk and Deion Sanders replaced Collinsworth when needed in 2007. In the 2014 NFL season , the NFL established a sub-licensing agreement with CBS to increase the prominence of the Thursday Night Football package, under which

12246-484: The case, he said, those discussions would “take place privately with our TV partners.” On November 10, 2006, Comcast announced it would add NFL Network on its digital tier in time for the debut of Thursday Night Football . On August 6, 2007, Comcast moved NFL Network from the digital tiers to the Sports Entertainment Package . This led to a court battle between NFL Network and Comcast, with

12403-426: The channel in the last weeks of the season, with only cursory glances at highlights, fantasy stats, and scores for those match-ups. One source of criticism stems from RedZone potentially drawing viewers away from the traditional broadcasts on CBS and Fox , and likewise devaluing the commercial values for advertisers. In the 2021 NFL season , when Fox had 100% national coverage for the two late games during Week 3,

12560-674: The channel space for other purposes during its off-time. While the RedZone channel is only utilized for Sunday 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. (Eastern) games, in the unique instance in which Christmas Day falls on a Sunday, and the full slate of Week 16 afternoon games is switched to Saturday, the RedZone channel is activated for that Saturday afternoon schedule. RedZone is not on-air during Thursday night , Sunday night , Monday night , and any stand-alone Saturday night games, nor for NFL International Series games which are scheduled in an early Sunday morning timeslot. It also does not cover Thanksgiving games or postseason games . During

12717-665: The colloquial terms "the gents' room" and "the ladies' room", or simply "the gents" and "the ladies" are used to indicate the facilities themselves. The British Toilet Association, sponsor of the Loo of the Year Awards , refers to public toilets collectively as "away-from-home" toilets. In Philippine English , "comfort room", or "C.R.", is the most common term in use. Some European languages use words cognate with "toilet" (e.g. les toilettes in French; туалет (tualet) in Russian), or

12874-557: The colonial government built the first public flush toilet. In 1953, a fire broke out in Shek Kip Mei. After that, the government embarked on a major public housing project in Hong Kong including public toilets for residents.

Finally, in the 1970s, the government decided that one toilet for four or five families

13031-783: The company's sports tier. At that time, a court date had not been set. Four judges at the New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, ruled the language "concerning additional programming package was ambiguous and that neither party has established that its interpretation of the relevant contracts is a matter of law. " Comcast's deal with the NFL Network was set to expire on April 30, 2009. According to messages sent out to Comcast, Midco , and some Cable Systems customers with or without set-top boxes , NFL Network might be removed from some customers' channel lineups. The message said: "In spite of our efforts to continue carrying NFL Network/NFL Network HD,

13188-520: The conclusion of the coverage, an edited montage of every touchdown scored throughout the afternoon is aired. Until 2018, due to contractual obligations, RedZone was required to sign off no later than 8:00 p.m., even if a late afternoon game(s) was still in progress; this was due to avoid a conflict with NBC's Sunday night game broadcast. This was rectified in the 2019 season, such that any game that ends after 8:00 p.m. would continue airing on RedZone until its conclusion, provided that there

13345-460: The country (per NFL television rules) could simply switch to CBS or FOX to watch the game to its conclusion. After the broadcast day ends (≈ 8:00 p.m.) RedZone remains dark until the following Sunday. During the week, as well as during playoffs and off-season, a generic title card advertisement is shown, accompanied by music from NFL Films . However, cable providers may overlay their own tie-in title card. Providers are disallowed from using

13502-597: The country with Botswana in terms of access to toilet facilities. In the 1970s there were 50,000 coin-operated public restrooms in the U.S., but they were eliminated by 1980, and public facilities did not replace them. During the apartheid years in South Africa , public toilets were usually segregated by race. In Brazil , there exists no federal law or regulation that makes public toilets provision compulsory. The lack of public toilets across Brazil results in frequent acts of public urination. Massachusetts passed

13659-478: The culture, there may be varying degrees of separation between males and females and different levels of privacy. Typically, the entire room, or a stall or cubicle containing a toilet, is lockable. Urinals , if present in a male toilet, are typically mounted on a wall with or without a divider between them. Local authorities or commercial businesses may provide public toilet facilities. Some are unattended while others are staffed by an attendant . In many cultures, it

13816-453: The development of public toilets. Facilities for women sometimes had a wider emphasis, providing a safe and comfortable private space in the public sphere. The Ladies Rest Room is one example of the non-euphemistic use of the term: literally, a place to rest. Historically such rooms pre-dated the washroom and washrooms were added afterwards. Subsequent integrated designs resulted in the "women's restroom lounge". A notable early example of

13973-521: The early games and another for the late games. In Spain, starting in 2021 , NFL RedZone is broadcast in full on Deportes por Movistar Plus+ . RedZone has generally received favorable to positive reviews, and its product has been referred to as a form of new media . Some complaints deal with viewers not seeing equal coverage of all games across the league, the inability to see outstanding defensive team performances (outside of defensive scores), and emphasis on individual players instead of teams. Games in

14130-463: The entire free preview schedule. Time Warner had made a similar announcement only hours earlier. Suddenlink agreed on December 22 to carry the entire free preview for their customers in West Texas. The free preview did not lead to long-term carriage deals, and the standoff continued between all three cable companies and the NFL Network. 2007 saw fresh controversy about the NFL Network. That year,

14287-447: The expense of missing touchdowns in other games that just started. When each game is concluded, a final score alert will flash on the bottom corner of the screen to inform viewers. This is especially important for games that have not had a live look-in for many minutes. Periodically throughout the afternoon, producers keep track of and update viewers on the status of fantasy football statistics, and/or other statistical superlatives. With

14444-588: The facilities if the customer suffers from an inflammatory bowel disease or other medical condition requiring immediate access to a toilet. In the United Kingdom, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires businesses to provide toilets for their employees, along with washing facilities including soap or other suitable means of cleaning. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Approved Code of Practice and Guidance L24 , available from Health and Safety Executive Books, outlines guidance on

14601-678: The facilities was considered a social activity. By the Middle Ages public toilets became uncommon, with only few attested in Frankfurt in 1348, in London in 1383, and in Basel in 1455. A public toilet was built in Ottoman Sarajevo in 1530 just outside a mosque's exterior courtyard wall which is still operating today. Sociologist Dara Blumenthal notes changing bodily habits, attitudes, and practices regarding hygiene starting in

14758-414: The facility also features NFL Media's first outdoor studio and space to host studio audiences. At the 2008 NFL draft , NFL Network unveiled a revised logo that was updated to match the revised NFL logo introduced around the same time. Unlike the updated logo for the league, the NFL Network's logo included subtle changes such as using a darker shade of blue and changing the "NFL" lettering to match that of

14915-413: The fact that in the early 1900s through to the middle of the century up-scale restaurants, theatres and performing facilities would often have comfortable chairs or sofas located within or in a room directly adjacent to the actual toilet and sink facilities, something which can be seen in some movies of the time period. An example of this is the description of a "movie palace" which was opening in 1921 which

15072-531: The feed distributed in Canada to protect local rightsholders TSN and CTV 2 . NFL Network is also offered as part of DAZN 's NFL Game Pass service as of 2017.

15543-614: The first law requiring sex separation of public toilets in 1887. By 1920, this was mandated in 43 states. In jurisdictions using the Uniform Plumbing Code in the U.S., sex separation is a legal mandate via the building code . Various countries have legislation stipulating how many public toilets are required in a given area for employees or for customers. The Restroom Access Act is legislation several U.S. States passed that requires retail establishments with toilet facilities for employees to also allow customers to use

Major League Baseball produces MLB Big Inning ,

15857-524: The full seven hours. It is a direct simulcast of the American feed, with no commercial breaks, live coverage of both the early and late games and Hanson hosting. The major difference is that when there is only one Sunday afternoon game left being played, international viewers will be able to see it to its conclusion on RedZone , while domestic viewers will be switched immediately to the day's highlights to protect CBS/Fox and NFL Sunday Ticket still televising

16014-458: The game and stated that it was still working toward resolving issues with the NFL Network over additional coverage rights. The result of these arrangements was that viewers in the New York, Boston and New Hampshire areas could see the game on up to four networks. Also in addition, satellite provider Dish Network and radio companies Sirius XM Radio and Entercom , expressed dissatisfaction over

16171-422: The game. On game day, the RedZone channel signs-on at 12:55 p.m., US Eastern time. The countdown clock counts down the minutes and seconds until the start of the game coverage. As of December 6, 2020, the channel has featured 200 weeks of coverage since its debut. At 1:00 p.m. (Eastern) the RedZone program begins, and immediately dives into live look-ins across the league. Host Scott Hanson gives

When Thursday Night Football premiered, veteran television announcer Bryant Gumbel served as play-by-play announcer, with former Fox and current NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth serving as color commentator for

16485-501: The home markets of both participating teams, where the game is broadcast on a local station; in those affected areas, an alternate feed of NFL Network is shown instead with a different preseason game, documentary programming, or a previously aired game. Prior to 2014, NFL Network occasionally broadcast selected preseason games as special editions of Thursday Night Football , such as the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game between

16642-561: The largest comeback victory in Division I FBS bowl game history, with Texas Tech coming back from a 38–7 third-quarter deficit to win 44–41 in overtime. On April 14, 2007, the network televised the Nebraska Cornhuskers ' spring football game. The network again aired the Insight, Texas and Senior bowls in late 2007 and early 2008. In addition, it carried two games between historically black colleges and universities during

16799-589: The league's Thursday games, three Saturday games during the month of July, and then Friday night games beginning in September (after ArenaBowl XXIII ). NFL Network did not air CFL games during August as it carried a heavy amount of NFL preseason game broadcasts. In addition, NFL Network did not carry any playoff games, including the Grey Cup championship, as those games are all played on Sundays opposite NFL regular season games. Those games were instead broadcast on

16956-498: The league's franchisees who was against the NFL Network deal, noting the predatory structure required the league to pay the network a brokerage fee but did not allow the league to sell advertising nor share in any advertising sales the network sold.

17113-401: The league. Any time a team enters the red zone, they will cut-in to the team's live local radio broadcast to cover potential scoring action. Until 2014 (when it was replaced by the studio show NFL GameDay Live ), this audio was also carried on NFL Network during Sunday afternoon games, overlaid with textual scores and stats to avert any form of competition with the league's broadcast partners. In

17270-516: The league. The ticker is situated in such a way that it is superimposed over the respective tickers of CBS and FOX . On occasion, technical difficulties could prevent RedZone from showing certain touchdowns live. During Week 1 in the 2019 season, a technical issue with the CBS broadcast prevented a live look at a touchdown in the Kansas City Chiefs - Jacksonville Jaguars game; the touchdown

17427-415: The legalization of sports betting in several states beginning in 2020, it also points out the over–under and certain betting statistics provided by league partner Caesars Sportsbook .

17584-505: The local sewage system or store the waste in a holding tank until it is emptied by a vacuum truck . Portable composting toilets require removal of the container to a composting facility. The standard wheelchair-accessible public toilet features wider doors, ample space for turning, lowered sinks, and grab-bars for safety. Features above and beyond this standard are advocated by the Changing Places campaign. Features include

17741-579: The month on consecutive days on a thrice-daily loop on the RedZone channel space, due to the coronavirus pandemic leaving the network wanting of content not involving live studio shows for the safety of their staff, as their facilities in California and the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area were closed due to stay-at-home orders and to allow NFL Network's traditional Draft run-up shows to air. Another rerun of seventeen consecutive days

17898-548: The name of a Roman Emperor: vespasienne in French and vespasiani in Italian. Mosques, madrassas (schools), and other places Muslims gather, have public sex-separated "ablution rooms" since Islam requires specific procedures for cleansing parts of the body before prayer. These rooms normally adjoin the toilets, which are also subject to Muslim hygienical jurisprudence and Islamic toilet etiquette . Many public toilets are permanent small buildings visible to passers-by on

On Thursdays, Mondays and anytime NFL Network airs a game, NFL GameDay Kickoff begins two hours prior to the game, with NFL GameDay Live airing during the game (for Thursdays and Mondays), or Live Game coverage (if it's airing the game), with NFL GameDay Final airing after the game. NFL Network held the broadcast rights to the revived Arena Football League from 2010 to 2012. Starting with

18212-555: The network happened to hold the rights to some match-ups with major implications. The first came in late November when the one-loss Dallas Cowboys hosted the one-loss Green Bay Packers . Green Bay's Brett Favre was also having one of the best seasons of his career and would eventually lead the resurgent Packers to the NFC Championship Game . Most fans could not see the game because of carriage restrictions, more noticeable because it involved nationally respected teams in

18369-401: The network has provided coverage of the NFL draft since 2006; its coverage competes with that provided by ESPN and ESPN2 . It was simulcast in a co-production with Fox Sports for the 2018 edition , though this was only a one-year agreement as exclusive over-the-air broadcast rights moved to ABC for the 2019 edition, which saw ESPN produce a different broadcast for 'casual' fans. In 2020,

18526-440: The network moved its scoreboard graphic during these games so that the play clock and quarter indicator would be cut off by RedZone 's ticker . The decision was believed to be an attempt to encourage viewers to watch the game on their local Fox station instead. Initially, this prompted RedZone to overlay its own scorebox and time graphic. In 2022 , RedZone began to simply hide its ticker entirely when simulcasting Fox games with

18683-469: The network of malfeasance after he personally paid for one of his team's games to be televised only for the network never to carry it. Another league member, the Albany Firebirds , indicated that the network had refused to carry the games because the league had a number of small-market teams (including West Texas) that "scared (them) off." Oregon Blackbears president Patrick Johnson was among

18840-497: The network simulcast ESPN's coverage of that year's draft which was produced remotely from the basement of commissioner Roger Goodell ’s home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition to office and studio space,

18997-496: The network. The stations had already been scheduled to air the game, as per NFL rules. Greg Aiello, an NFL spokesperson, stated that NBC and CBS would not have agreed to present the simulcast without clearing the game nationally, including the aforementioned markets. WWOR came to an agreement with the network and showed the game along with WNBC and WCBS-TV (channel 2) in the New York City market. WCVB also would still televise

19154-447: The new league logo. During the 2012 NFL draft , the network debuted an overhauled logo resembling that used by sister network NFL Red Zone; the network also began to play down the "HD" branding used on-air, as the vast majority of cable providers currently carrying NFL Network transmit the channel's standard definition feed as a downscaled letterboxed version of the high definition feed. The logo, as with those of all NFL properties,

19311-737: The number of toilets to provide and the type of washing facilities associated with them. Local authorities are not legally required to provide public toilets, and while in 2008 the House of Commons Communities and Local Government Committee called for a duty on local authorities to develop a public toilet strategy, the Government rejected the proposal. In 2022 the UK Government Equality Minister Kemi Badenoch announced plans to make provision of single-sex toilets compulsory in new public buildings above

19468-459: The offseason breaks since the 2016 season, NFL Network has re-ran the previous season's RedZone presentations. During seventeen selected Sunday afternoons in the spring and early summer, all seventeen weeks of the regular season as seen on RedZone are re-aired, with editing for length and content and ad breaks inserted. The 2019 re-run of the season was compressed in April 2020 to air throughout

19625-454: The only game remaining is a regional broadcast (4:05 p.m. start) on the non-doubleheader network (and thus still be on the out-of-market NFL Sunday Ticket package), which has on at least one occasion led to the host unintentionally providing misleading information about that game's availability. International viewers are instead switched directly to the remaining game's network feed to its conclusion, irrespective of its competitiveness. At

19782-495: The owners of the league's 32 teams voted unanimously to approve its formation. Originally located in the Los Angeles suburb of Culver City , California , the league invested $ 100 million to fund the network's operations. NFL Films , which produces commercials, television programs, and feature films for the NFL, is a key supplier of NFL Network's programming, with more than 4,000 hours of footage available in its library. As

19939-564: The package beginning in the 2008 season, all of the games were branded as Thursday Night Football regardless of night beginning in 2009. Starting with the 2012 season , Thursday Night Football expanded to include a weekly game from Weeks 2 through 15 (excluding the Kickoff Game and Thanksgiving Day, which is held by NBC), as well as one Saturday night game during Week 16. As a result, every NFL team now appears in at least one timeslot-exclusive nationally televised game per-season. As with

20096-456: The past it featured more of a "carousel" type of format where reporters at each game would check in via telephone with the basic score, scoring plays and statistics, as most sports radio networks and stations that do not carry game play-by-play do. Similar to The Sunday Drive above, Learfield provides a whip-around radio service for college football that airs on Sirius XM 's ESPNU Radio service and Learfield's The Varsity Network app (and

20253-482: The possibility of partnering with ESPN to bolster NFL Network; one analyst suggested the possibility of NFL Network being combined into its lesser-viewed, but better-carried ESPN Classic channel.

The package included

20410-455: The primary focus for the moment. The coverage is a direct simulcast of the CBS or Fox broadcast feed and commentary, with only occasional and usually brief voice-over comments by Hanson as needed. Coverage sometimes switches to split-screen , with two, three, four ("quad-box"), five ("Penta-box"), eight ("Octo-box"), or as many as ten ("Deca-box") game feeds being shown simultaneously. Producers in

20567-483: The public sphere in the Victorian era . During this period, after leaving their parents' home, women were expected to maintain careers as homemakers and wives. Thus, safe and private public toilets were rarely available for women. The result was that they were often restricted in how far they could travel away from home without returning. Alternatively, they had to make do in the public streets as best they could. They often experienced sexual harassment as men tried to "sneak

20724-445: The regular season from 1:00 to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time (10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time ). RedZone provides "whip around" coverage of all Sunday afternoon games airing in-progress on CBS and Fox . Whenever a team enters the red zone , the coverage will switch full-screen over to the live feed of that game's television broadcast, and attempt to cover a potential scoring result (touchdown or field goal). The coverage

20881-416: The remaining games still ongoing. When the moment arrives at which there is only one game left being played, coverage will change depending on whether viewers are in the United States or outside the country. For those in the United States, they will be instructed by the host that they will need to switch to the applicable network to watch that game to its conclusion. This rule applies even in the rare event that

21038-458: The removal of well-established male-only/female-only spaces when premises are built or refurbished, and they have often been replaced with gender-neutral toilets. This places women at a significant disadvantage. While men can then use both cubicles and urinals, women can only use the former, and women also need safe spaces given their particular health and sanitary needs (for example, women who are menstruating, pregnant or at menopause, may need to use

21195-430: The ruling in favor of Comcast; the NFL Network later appealed the ruling. Comcast sent NFL Network a cease-and-desist letter to stop encouraging subscribers to drop their Comcast service. Comcast's carriage agreement with the NFL Network ended in mid-2009. On February 26, 2008, a New York appellate court reversed course on a May 2007 judgment that allowed Comcast to move the network from its second-most distributed tier to

21352-403: The second quarter, even if there are no teams in the red zone. Some noncompetitive games that would otherwise not be looked at may take the attention for a few minutes, in order to fill the broadcast with as much live football coverage as possible. As soon as better games start returning for the third quarter, second half kickoffs typically take a priority. If there are no teams in the red zone at

21509-677: The show continued to air through the 2019–20 NHL season . In 2024, as part of Sportsnet selling rights to Monday Night Hockey to Amazon Prime Video , the latter began airing NHL Coast to Coast on Thursday nights.

The show aired on ESPN2 and ESPN+ . A second iteration of NHL Frozen Frenzy aired on October 22, 2024. Whiparound programs have also been produced for professional soccer leagues. NBC Sports launched Goal Rush in 2016, providing whiparound coverage of

Alternatively, they may be within a building that, while privately owned, allows public access, such as a department store, or it may be limited to the business's customers, such as a restaurant. Some public toilets are free of charge while others charge a fee. In the latter case they are also called pay toilets and sometimes have a charging turnstile . In the most basic form, a public toilet may just be

21823-772: The street. Others are underground, including older facilities in Britain and Canada. Contemporary street toilets include automatic, self-cleaning toilets in self-contained pods; an example is the Sanisette , which first became popular in France. As part of its campaign against open defecation, the Indian government introduced the remotely-monitored eToilet to some public spaces in 2014. Public toilets may use seated toilets—as in most Western countries—or squat toilets . Squat toilets are common in many Asian and African countries, and, to

21980-513: The studio and the broadcast resumed normally. The alarm did not impact the Ravens vs Chargers game which took place at SoFi Stadium , across the street from the studio. The NFL RedZone channel should not be confused with the former nearly identical Red Zone Channel , a service that was included as part of DirecTV 's out-of-market sports package NFL Sunday Ticket , and was hosted by Andrew Siciliano . Despite their similar names and formats,

22137-413: The studio monitor all game feeds in-progress, and decide which game to feature at any given moment. NFL television rules are exempted for RedZone , and live look-ins of games that are subject to blackout are still allowed to be aired in all markets. Whenever a team enters the red zone , the coverage will switch to a full-screen live look-in of that game's television broadcast. It will attempt to cover

22294-410: The switch with some kind of segue, such as 'while we were watching that (play)...' to note it isn't live video). When the 1 p.m. "early" games are in the fourth quarter, the focus of attention begins to narrow down to one-possession games (games within 8 points); Hanson will additionally introduce the fourth quarter coverage as " The Witching Hour ; where wins become losses, and losses become wins". As

22451-589: The terms typically used on floor plans for residences or other buildings. Real estate advertisements for residences often refer to "three-piece washrooms" (include a bathtub or shower) and "two-piece washrooms" (only toilet and sink). In public athletic or aquatic facilities, showers are available in locker rooms .
