Report: Fox submitted the highest bid for NFL’s Thursday Night Football, while ABC opted not to bid

  • According to Sports Business Journal, only three networks -- Fox, CBS and NBC -- made a bid for the Thursday package. Fox’s bid was higher than the combined NBC-CBS bid, which was lower than what the two networks submitted last year. ESPN was expected to submit a bid to air games on ABC, but apparently the two networks couldn’t find a profitable business plan.
