Fantasy Channel for NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX
Subs Provides Live Game-to-Game Coverage Each Sunday Afternoon With
In-Depth Fantasy Football Analysis, NFL.com Fantasy In-Game Stats,
Player Previews, Highlights and Key Player Updates
DIRECTV continues to step up its game for legions of fantasy
football players across the country with the DIRECTV FANTASY ZONE
channel, a live fantasy football show available exclusively to NFL
SUNDAY TICKET MAX subscribers every Sunday afternoon during the
coming NFL regular season.
The new fantasy channel will air on DIRECTV channel 704, right
next to DIRECTV’s popular RED ZONE CHANNEL, and will offer the same
fast-paced intensity, but is entirely devoted to fantasy football.
The DIRECTV FANTASY ZONE channel will provide timely game-to-game
fantasy analysis and statistics powered by NFL.com Fantasy along
with multiple, revolving on-screen tickers offering real-time
stats, highlights, projections and key player updates.
Hosting the show will be Kay Adams, NBC Sports and Rotoworld.com
analyst, and Dhani Jones, former NFL linebacker, who will serve up
fantasy football commentary and analysis throughout the full slate
of Sunday afternoon NFL games. The show will also feature fantasy
football expert John Hansen, well known as an elite fantasy
football analyst through his work on SIRIUS XM’s fantasy sports
radio and at FantasyGuru.com.
Rounding out the DIRECTV FANTASY ZONE team, Dr. Mark Adickes,
M.D., an acclaimed orthopedic surgeon and former offensive lineman
for the 1991 Super Bowl-winning Washington Redskins, will provide
expert analysis regarding injuries and their impact on fantasy
teams during the season.
“NFL SUNDAY TICKET on DIRECTV strives to provide NFL fantasy
players with even more content to help manage their teams. We’ve
added a variety of unique features to our fantasy offerings over
the years and creating DIRECTV FANTASY ZONE is the next logical
step,” said Daniel York, Chief Content Officer, DIRECTV. “Our RED
ZONE CHANNEL in NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX has been part of the sports
viewing experience for millions of NFL fans every Sunday. We
believe DIRECTV FANTASY ZONE will have no less of an impact for the
legions of fans who love fantasy football.”
Airing live from a New York City loft, the new fantasy channel
will showcase a bevy of “extras,” including weekly A-list celebrity
guest hosts and a “Fan Cave” environment for the show’s live studio
audience while they watch games and track their fantasy football
teams on NFL.com. The show will also feature its own kitchen and a
full-time, in-studio chef who will serve up gourmet game-day fare
for the DIRECTV FANTASY ZONE team and studio audience every
Sunday.
Included in the NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX package, which new DIRECTV
customers receive at no extra charge in their first year, DIRECTV
FANTASY ZONE further enhances the NFL SUNDAY TICKET experience. The
exclusive DIRECTV package is the only way to watch every
out-of-market game, every Sunday afternoon - all in HD, on TV, the
computer, smart phone or tablet. For more information on NFL SUNDAY
