Scott Hanson says he will remain host of RedZone Channel

Our Summary

The NFL's RedZone Channel, known for its "Seven hours of commercial-free football," has introduced commercials, prompting backlash from fans. Despite this change, Scott Hanson confirmed he will continue as the host through the 2026 season. Hanson, addressing concerns from viewers after an emotional season finale, assured fans via social media of his return. The future of RedZone Channel remains uncertain as the NFL and Disney seek regulatory approval for a deal that would integrate NFL Media into ESPN, potentially influencing RedZone's operations. The introduction of commercials could lead to decreased subscriptions, with the NFL potentially adding more ads to offset revenue losses. However, Hanson insists the channel will persist, with him at the helm.
