WSJD Joins WW1 To Present Great Postseason NFL Games

With all live sports still on hiatus, WSJD and Westwood One will offer a series of re-broadcasts of some classic contests in NFL postseason history, as well as some of the greatest Super Bowls of all-time. Each game will feature play-by-play as it aired originally, but edited down to minimize stoppages. Where possible, each game will feature interviews or other comments from some of the players and coaches that were involved in the contest. Other times, the broadcasts will feature NFL100 content to celebrate the first century of the NFL.

There will be fourteen “great postseason games” scheduled for rebroadcast on Thursday and Monday nights, beginning on Thursday, April 9th and continuing through Thursday, May 28th (There will not be a game rebroadcast on Thursday, April 23 due to the NFL Draft that evening). Each Monday night will feature a different Super Bowl broadcast, while each Thursday night will feature another postseason game from Westwood One’s archives that isn’t a Super Bowl.

Airtime for each broadcast will be 7:00 PM.

One of the games to be replayed will be the first Super Bowl ever--between the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs. This will mark the first time the national radio broadcast will be aired in its entirety since the game was played on January 15, 1967. Some of the other Super Bowls to be rebroadcast in this series include Super Bowl XXIII (49ers vs. Bengals), Super Bowl XLII (Giants vs. Patriots), Super Bowl LI (the only overtime game in Super Bowl history) and the most recent one, Super Bowl LIV, won by Kansas City.

Playoff games that will be aired over the next several weeks include, the 1992 AFC Wild Card Game, when the Buffalo Bills overcame a 32-point deficit to defeat the Houston Oilers; the highest scoring game in NFL playoff history, a 2009 Wild Card Game between the Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals; and the 2006 AFC Championship Game—one of the many postseason battles between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
