We knew that with YouTube TV taking over with Sunday NFL Ticket DirecTV might not have the same football offerings in 2023.
Fear not, at least when it comes to RedZone, the Sunday show that gives you all the scoring highlights and end-of-game drama hosted by Scott Hanson. DirecTV agreed to carry NFL Network and NFL RedZone.
But there’s something there that’s a bummer if you were a fan of the original Red Zone channel that DirecTV carried, hosted by Andrew Siciliano.
They did more than 300 shows before Siciliano said goodbye after 17 years. So with this news, some NFL fans mourned the official loss of the OG Red Zone channel:
Personally I always preferred the Andrew Siciliano version of Red Zone and considered it one of the best reasons to get DirecTV's Sunday Ticket. That version is no more, and starting in 2023 the Scott Hanson cable Red Zone is the only Red Zone available. https://t.co/UEOcnM6928

The @AndrewSiciliano redzone was 1000x better. Sad day. Rip

Great news that DirecTV will have Red Zone for me finally on regular package. Sad we don't get @AndrewSiciliano hosting it any longer.

Will miss the OG Andrew Siciliano but at least it will be available. Now the big question: How much will it cost? https://t.co/SG6nPIin0Y
