Had the 2011 game been played, it would have aired on NBC and featured Al Michaels on play-by-play, Cris Collinsworth on color commentary, and Michelle Tafoya reporting from the sidelines.
In 2007 and 2008 the game was broadcast live in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland by Sky Sports. ESPN America (formerly North American Sports Network) broadcasts the game in the rest of Europe. It was not shown in 2009 because of a dispute between Sky Sports and the NFL over TV rights.
Starting in 2006, it was moved to Sunday night, coinciding with the new NBC Sunday Night Football television package. The 2007 game was telecast on NFL Network as NBC was intending to televise the China Bowl game in Beijing, China (a game which was postponed to 2009 and later canceled).
Bill Flemming filled-in for Frank Gifford on play-by-play for the 1984 game because Gifford was busy covering the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles for ABC.
Beginning in 1971, the Hall of Fame Game was televised as part of ABC's Wide World of Sports package on Saturday afternoons. This practice would continue until 1998.
Westwood One owns national radio rights; it is the only exhibition game to air on a nationwide network. Each team's radio network is also allowed to broadcast the games (albeit usually with fewer affiliates since exhibition games are traditionally much lower priority to non-sports and non-flagship stations).
