Talk:NFL on Fox

Untitled

2002 Guest Hosts During the first few weeks of the 2002 season, the in-studio lineup was originally supposed to be JB, Terry, Howie, and a fourth "guest" host which would change each week. Jimmy Johnson was in in week one, but at least one or two other weeks featured a different guest. By October, FOX decided to keep Jimmy in as a permananet fourth member again, instead of changing it each week.

Question is, does anyone know who sat in as the guest in Week 2, Week 3, etc. in 2002, or if there were that many. Doctorindy 20:38, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Tech bugs

• You know what they did at the beginning of the 49ers @ Broncos game? They used the FSN score banner w/ NFL on Fox logo. Is this happening to anyone else, or do they do this sometimes? WizardDuck 21:30, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

No, it was only for that game. If you watched the game throughout, they were talking about technical difficulties due to the recent snowstorm. There was no first down line, weird camera angles, and of course the FSN score banner in that televised game. --J. Nguyen 05:50, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I found a screenshot of it, and why it happened, the production truck got stuck on I-70 due to the Denver snowstorms closing it, so FSN Rocky Mountains helped produce the game. Also, I do have a screenshot of the game in "FSN graphics mode"... ViperSnake151 14:06, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Strahan

Who did Michael Strahan replace on the OT? He isn't mentioned in the article. Cheers,⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ((⊕)) 00:02, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

History

2009 On Novemeber 8th, 2009 Nfl on Fox will air its first ever live-on-location show from Afganistan and its first ever 2 hour pregameshow. This was mention during the post-game show and is important for the history of Nfl on Fox.--Cooly123 01:04, 2 November 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooly123 (talk • contribs)

Change to the Fox Box for 2010

Fox changed the play clock location from the Patriots/Falcons exhibition game. As you can see, these links put the new play clock.

The OT

We need a seperate article for The OT. 68.44.179.54 (talk) 02:36, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Digital on-screen graphics

This article does a great job explaining the history of the digital on-screen graphics that Fox has had over the years. However, we have no visual examples to show what these graphics look like. Without visual examples, this section is pointless. Low resolution examples need to be uploaded using File Upload Wizard and shown in this section to ensure accuracy of what the graphics look like. Thank you.

NFL on Fox or Fox NFL?

Are the hosts still calling the show "NFL on Fox" this season? I've noticed the on-screen graphics (during replays) now say "Fox NFL" instead of "NFL on Fox". I wonder if they're shifting toward a change of branding. - Demokra (talk) 02:57, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

@Demokra: I would say that the official show title is still the NFL on Fox and not Fox NFL. My source is per the property's Facebook page: Facebook.com/NFLonFOX. So, I am requesting comment from other editors. I believe the article title should be changed to NFL on Fox, but I am unable to unilaterally move it myself. My goal is to reach WP:CONSENSUS with all other interested editors involved regarding this topic. Please feel free to reply to this comment. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 17:00, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

The logo and announcements have called it Fox NFL (and that is what the logo says and other Fox Properties call it Fox NFL that’s why I would say keep it at Fox NFL) Hoopstercat (talk) 00:49, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

@Hoopstercat: Bullshit. The official name is still NFL on Fox, per the references given. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 03:57, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

@Charlesaaronthompson: Yeah but on air they call it Fox NFL (and the logo means it that way too) Hoopstercat (talk) 13:24, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

@Hoopstercat: Yes, but that's where you are wrong. While the logo lists the Fox network at the top, secondary sources such as IMDb & YouTube TV name the network's broadcast coverage as NFL on Fox. Sources are per here & here. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 20:29, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

@Charlesaaronthompson:Well the first source is an old Fox NFL logo and one reason it should be Fox NFL is also their pre-game shows respectively are titled Fox NFL Kickoff and Fox NFL Sunday (and that’s what TV listings list) so it should be Fox NFL under the chain Hoopstercat (talk) 21:49, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

@Hoopstercat: OK. How about this URL reference from Fox Sports' YouTube channel? Source is per Fox Sports' YouTube channel, and the title of this video is "Is the Cowboys' season already over? The 'FOX NFL Sunday' crew discusses | NFL on FOX". Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 22:20, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

@Hoopstercat and Esolo5002: OK. What would I need to do to persuade or prove to both of you that the correct branding title is indeed "NFL on Fox", and that the article & talk page should be moved back to where it was previously (as "NFL on Fox")? I mean, there's this article from SportsVideo.org that clearly spells it out as "NFL on Fox" and then there's the press website from Fox Sports itself where you can download the logos that says "NFL On Fox" (that source is found here). Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 18:42, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

@Charlesaaronthompson: I would recommend a full move request with all the sources you can find. Esolo5002 (talk) 18:54, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Ok here’s my opinion on this if we are talking game coverage of any Fox sports properties it’s ‘ name of sports' on Fox but if we are talking about the property itself (as a whole including pre game) then it’s Fox ‘name of sports property' Hoopstercat (talk) 00:32, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

@Hoopstercat: Respectfully, I disagree. I feel like all Fox Sports articles on Wikipedia should follow the established conventions of other sports broadcasting articles on Wikipedia (such as NFL on CBS, Major League Baseball on TBS, NASCAR on NBC, et al.) and follow the conventional "league/sport" 'on' "network" format. Just because the network lists its on-screen network logo first does not mean that the articles in question should have the network name first. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 01:28, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

If you go to titantv.com, tvguide.com, etc., FOX lists the programming on all TV guides as FOX NFL, same goes for if you Google it – the website header says FOX NFL. It could very well be that they’re changing it, taking one step at a time. You could always seek requests for comments and get a consensus. Until then, I’d refrain from moving the article title. Corky 05:17, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

@Corkythehornetfan Would you be willing to provide a clear and direct source from TitanTV.com or TVGuide.com that explicitly says "Fox NFL" instead of "NFL on Fox"? Near as I can tell, both sources just say "NFL Football". Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 20:38, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

@Charlesaaronthompson: Unfortunately, there isn’t a direct link because the URL doesn’t change when you change the date or time but TitanTv definitely says FOX NFL (date) so for example, it’d say FOX NFL Sunday. It’s pretty clear. TV Guide does the same thing. The only network that says NFL Football is CBS… Corky 06:14, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

I agree however we should still put the other name ‘network’ ‘sport/league’ in the also as (so other people could understand) Hoopstercat (talk) 11:25, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

@Hoopstercat We already do that. The first sentence in the main article reads "The NFL on Fox (also known as Fox NFL)... Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 02:17, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Joe Buck?

>If Joe Buck is the commentator, except for the sponsor segment, the NFL on FOX theme will never play at the half, end of the game, or before a commercial break. However FOX Deportes still plays the NFL on FOX before a commercial break and usually at the end of quarter.

This is very random. Is there some explanation for this? TheHYPO (talk) 06:05, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

The person who edited this doesn't have a credible source, but it does seem to be right. Whenever you watch an NFL on FOX game where Joe Buck isn't doing the commentating (except Sunday Week 1 and TNF Week 4), you can hear the NFL on FOX theme going into halftime and the end of the game. Contrasted to Joe Buck, you really won't hear it often, and you will never hear it on TNF on FOX (except week 4). Domino's pizza stat: When it's Joe Buck, it plays random music and then after that, it's NFL on FOX compared to other commentators, it's all NFL on FOX at the end of the game.

So overall, it will be extremely hard to cite this, so really only the people who notice will understand. Can I Log In (talk) 13:55, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

It's also incredibly trivial, and frankly dubious as hell. Why TNF week 4? Seems to me that people are seeing a pattern that doesn't actually exist. oknazevad (talk) 15:31, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

OR tag

The whole article is rotten with original research, but the detailed history of broadcast teams and graphics packages is completely unsourced, and probably can be trimmed down, since it's not especially encyclopedic. --fuzzy510 (talk) 05:13, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
