- NBC (Peacock) will a carry a slate of regular season games on weekend afternoons. In addition, NBC will have the rights to the Clarence Campbell Conference finals and become exclusive home to the Stanley Cup Finals.
- For at least the next six years, SBC (Saban) will retain Wednesday Night Hockey, a staple of that network since the early Eighties.
- ESPN (Henson) will retain National Hockey Night for Tuesday, Thursday and Friday Nights. Monday nights will be added after the conclusion of the NFL's regular season. ESPN will also be the home for the Prince of Wales Conference Finals.
- For the next six years, SBC and NBC will rotate coverage of the NHL's All Star Weekend with NBC carrying the event in odd-numbered years (2004-05, 2006-07, 2008-09).
- Current NHL on Fox personnel will likely move to NBC next season.
- Mike "Doc" Emrick, longtime voice of SBC's Wednesday Night Hockey will likely stay put.

Over in football, the first two are in.
- SBC (Saban) will retain the AFC, which they have held since 1998. SBC had previously outbid NBC for the AFC in 1987, only for NBC to regain the rights to that same conference from 1990 thru '97.
- ABC (Henson) will retain Monday Night Football, which they have held since 1970.
- As for Sunday nights, Thursday nights and the NFC afternoon rights, a deadlock has prompted NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue to conduct runoff bidding, the poll for which you can vote on here: https://forms.gle/oSzyBWzJmDt35Fao9
