AFL & NBC FAIL TO REACH EXTENSION AGREEMENT
NEW YORK June 30, 2006 - The Arena Football League and NBC Sports have
failed to reach an agreement to extend their broadcasting contract,
both organizations jointly announced today. The AFL will immediately
begin broadcast discussions with numerous organizations.
"NBC has been a great partner," said AFL Commissioner David Baker. "We
are forever grateful to them for exhibiting our game with the utmost
respect and integrity. We wish them well, but are also excited to
begin a new chapter that will continue our unprecedented growth."
Ken Schanzer, President, NBC Sports said: "Unfortunately we were
unable to reach an agreement. We've enjoyed our partnership with the
Arena Football League. It's a great game with great people. We wish
them all the best."
