## Television

[edit]

During preseason, most games are televised on MSG Western New York per a rights deal between MSG and the team owners Terry and Kim Pegula and simulcasted on Buffalo's ABC affiliate, WKBW-TV channel 7 along with the stations of Nexstar Media Group elsewhere in upstate New York. WKBW's agreement expires after the 2019 season, at which point WIVB-TV, as a Nexstar affiliate, will take over as the official broadcast home of the Bills. Since 2008, preseason games have been broadcast in high definition.

As an American Football Conference team, the majority of Buffalo Bills regular season games air on CBS, which is carried in Buffalo on WIVB; Thursday night games, any home games in which the opponent is from the National Football Conference, and any games the league arbitrarily chooses to "cross-flex" air on Fox, whose local affiliate is WUTV. Sunday night games, should the Bills ever be selected for one, air on NBC, whose Buffalo affiliate is WGRZ. The rights to Monday night simulcasts from ESPN expired after 2017; as of August, it is unknown what station has purchased those rights.

As of 2021, the broadcast team consists of Andrew Catalon or Rob Stone on play-by-play, Steve Tasker as color commentator, and Cynthia Frelund as sideline reporter.[2]
