The British Broadcasting Corporation has agreed a deal with the NFL to broadcast live American Football matches throughout this season, a first for British radio.  The programme will air every Sunday evening from 9pm UK through until 12:30am UK and will be presented by Arlo White.

Along with live commentaries, the show will also include interviews and the latest NFL news.  Mr White will be joined by American Football journalist Neil Reynolds and american sports broadcaster Greg Brady.

The show will air on the BBC's digital only sports network, Five Live Sports Extra.  Jonathan Wall, Commissioning Editor, Radio 5 Live, says: "We're really excited to be broadcasting the first weekly live NFL programme on British radio, further expanding our sports portfolio on 5 Live Sports Extra.  We've had a great listener response from our previous NFL Wembley and Super Bowl commentaries, so we hope this new weekly show will prove equally popular with the UK's legion of American Football fans."
