CBS Corp., owner of the most-watched television network, won rights to televise eight National Football League games on Thursday nights, bolstering a prime-time schedule that already leads the industry.
The games will be carried on CBS and simulcast on the NFL Network, the parties said today in an e-mailed statement that didn’t include financial terms. Jim Nantz and Phil Simms will be the broadcasters. The agreement is for the 2014 season with an additional year at the NFL’s option.
