Things will look different for NFL viewers at home this season. Sunday afternoons across America have started with seven magic words from NFL Network anchor Scott Hanson: "Seven hours of commercial-free football starts now." That's how the host of the popular "RedZone" program starts and brings football fans to the scoring action in every game across the league. Those seven words will change for the 2025 NFL season. Hanson confirmed on"The Pat McAfee Show" todaythat RedZone will no longer be commercial-free. Broadcasting shake-up:ESPN agrees to buy NFL Network, RedZone Channel; league gets 10% equity in return "When you see me on the air, we're going to hit the Octobox, we've got eight games in the early window taking you around all the different cities," Hanson said. "Then, when we get into it, 'ladies and gentlemen it's been more than 250 days since the first full NFL Sunday but we are back and seven hours of RedZone football starts now." Hanson explained that he is the host of the show and "the business folks handle the business and I have no say over elements that could or could not be in the show. I realize that might be a slight change to some of you but that's what the catchphrase will be going forward."
