NFL Network is an American television specialty channel dedicated to American football. It is owned and operated by the National Football League (NFL) and is also shown in Canada and Mexico. It was launched November 4, 2003, only eight months after the league's 32 team owners voted unanimously to approve its formation. The league invested $100 million to fund the network's operations. Beginning with the 2006 season, the channel began to broadcast eight prime time regular season NFL games, called the Run to the Playoffs. The NFL Network logo changed to match the new NFL logo, which premiered officially at the 2008 NFL Draft. Unlike the updated logo for the league, the NFL Network's new logo saw more subtle changes such as using a darker shade of blue and changing the "NFL" font to match that of the new NFL logo. The NFL Network works from studios in Culver City, California, near Los Angeles, and broadcasts their world-wide feed from the CNN Center in Atlanta, GA. Additionally, satellite broadcast company DirecTV offers NFL Sunday Ticket, a subscription package, that allows subscribers to watch most Sunday daytime regional games to the suite of services in the United States is exclusive to the DirectTV.
