Explore Research Question

I want to explore the contracts which tv networks dealing with the NFL have to work with and why the games are appearing on cable and satellite channels instead of local channels. The idea to appear on cable channels like espn and nfl network creates limited viewing but others might argue that the NFL will compromise its viewership for the amount of revenue. The NFL should be shown on local channels like nbc, abc, fox, and cbs, instead of espn and nfl network.

I know very general information about the networks and the contracts which they have with the NFL but i do not know the extent to which these contracts control the what channels show the games.
