It has been rumored for a few weeks, but officially confirmed yesterday: Al Michaels, the legendary broadcaster, will be leaving NBC and joining Amazon. Michaels will lead Amazon’s Thursday Night Football broadcasts with Kirk Herbstreit.
For the past few years, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) had the rights to broadcast Thursday Night Football games, but 2022 will be different. This year, Amazon will have exclusive rights to the Thursday Night games, meaning that football fans will have to watch the games on Amazon if they would like to see them.
