Why is Sky not showing Steelers/Bengals this weekend ?

[lasvegasman]

Just to let everyone know I recieved a reply from Viewer relations today . The reply states " contactual rights " as the reason for not showing the game . Not a very satisfactory answer without any further details and poor communication to their own website which was advertising the game as still being shown as late as Friday when they should have been aware that they would not be showing the game . Hopefully there is no repeat this weekend .

Further details may be of a commercially sensitive nature, so would be breaching any non disclosure agreement

Hi, everyone 👋🏽

I thought it best to communicate a message on behalf of Sky Sports for better visibility:

Unfortunately, this had to be removed from our schedules due to a contractual rights issue as we are limited to the number of games we can broadcast. Appreciate that this is frustrating and we will pass your feedback on to our Sky Sports NFL team for their awareness.

Thanks.

Thank you for the reply , I appreciate the clarity . I was worried that another broadcaster had the rights like on Christmas day with Netflix . Sky does a great job of covering the NFL as well as the excellent coverage of NCAA Football and Basketball . Long may it continue .
