(From Sports Business Daily)
NBC announced DAN PATRICK will join the FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA SHOW studio show beginning on September 7th, the first Sunday of the 2008 NFL season.
The move reunites Patrick with KEITH OLBERMANN for the first time on TV since the end of their partnership on ESPN's SPORTSCENTER 11 years ago.
NBC Universal Sports and Olympics Chair DICK EBERSOL said the show will now feature "one host and three co-hosts," with BOB COSTAS remaining the host along with co-hosts Patrick, Olbermann and CRIS COLLINSWORTH.
Ebersol said of the set-up of the show, which runs from
7-8:30 pm, "Highlights that begin at 7:15 pm will be Dan and Keith. They'll do the highlights straight through until about 8 pm, with the exception of one segment that Cris and Bob will do somewhere around 7:30 to 7:40."
He added the mics for all members of the studio team, which also includes TIKI BARBER, JEROME BETTIS and PETER KING, will be open, allowing them to comment when they feel like it.
In addition to FNIA, Patrick will also be part of NBC's SUPER BOWL coverage when it has TV rights, as well as a member of NBC's OLYMPICS coverage beginning with the 2010 Vancouver Games.
