Television
During preseason, most games are televised on
MSG Western New York
per a rights deal between MSG and the team owners
Terry
and
Kim Pegula
and simulcasted on Buffalo's
ABC
affiliate,
WKBW-TV
channel 7 along with the stations of
Nexstar Media Group
elsewhere in upstate New York. WKBW's agreement expires after the 2019 season, at which point
WIVB-TV
, as a Nexstar affiliate, will take over as the official broadcast home of the Bills. Since 2008, preseason games have been broadcast in
high definition
.
As an American Football Conference team, the majority of Buffalo Bills regular season games air on CBS, which is carried in Buffalo on WIVB; Thursday night games, any home games in which the opponent is from the National Football Conference, and any games the league arbitrarily chooses to "cross-flex" air on Fox, whose local affiliate is
WUTV
. Sunday night games, should the Bills ever be selected for one, air on NBC, whose Buffalo affiliate is
WGRZ
. The rights to Monday night simulcasts from
ESPN
expired after 2017; as of August, it is unknown what station has purchased those rights.
As of 2021, the broadcast team consists of
Andrew Catalon
or
Rob Stone
on play-by-play,
Steve Tasker
as color commentator, and
Cynthia Frelund
as sideline reporter.
