Live NFL Network Broadcasts to Resume on Friday
June 19, 2012 - Arena Football League (AFL) News Release
CHICAGO - Live broadcasts of "NET10 Arena Football Friday" will resume this Friday on NFL Network, the Arena Football League office announced today.
NFL Network suspended live broadcasts of "NET10 Arena Football Friday" games on May 11 in favor of tape-delayed broadcasts due to labor uncertainty. The decision came in the middle of the third year of partnership between the AFL and NFL Network.
After the announcement of a multi-year agreement between the AFL and AFLPU on Sunday evening, Arena Football League action will now return to its regular timeslot at 8 p.m. ET on NFL Network. Details of the CBA will be released during this Friday's broadcast.
The Orlando Predators (2-11) will host the New Orleans VooDoo (6-7) in VooDoo Head Coach Pat O'Hara's return to "The Jungle" this week on "NET10 Arena Football Friday". All remaining NFL Network broadcasts will be aired live, culminating in AVITAE ArenaBowl XXV on Friday, August 10th.
