FOX is close to winning the broadcast rights for Thursday Night Football, outbidding CBS and NBC, sources told Bloomberg's Scott Soshnick and Lucas Shaw.
The new deal, which is believed to be higher than the $45 million per game that CBS and NBC paid last year for TNF, has still not been finalized.
The announcement of the deal could come as soon as Wednesday, sources told John Ourand of Sports Business Journal.
Despite falling ratings across the board for the NFL, networks again entered a bidding war for the rights to TNF. CBS and NBC paid a combined $450 million to air 10 games last season.
