Arizona Cardinals preseason games to be available on NBC locally

The Arizona Cardinals will be partnering with NBC channel 12 for the 2017 preseason.

From the team:

"Beginning with the Cardinals nationally televised Hall of Fame Game against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, August 3 at 5:00 p.m., all five Cardinals preseason games can be seen locally on NBC 12 News (KPNX-TV).

The Cardinals regular radio team of Dave Pasch (play-by-play) and Ron Wolfley (analyst) will be joined by 12 News anchor Paul Gerke (sideline reporter) to call the action. Paul Calvisi will join Wolfley and Gerke for the Denver broadcast on August 31.

In addition, the pregame and game broadcasts will be shown in the Tucson market on KTTU/KMSB-TV (FOX 11) and in the Las Vegas market on KVVU-TV (FOX 5).

All four Cardinals produced broadcasts will be replayed on Fox Sports Arizona during the week following each game.

On the radio side, Paul Calvisi (play-by-play) will be joined by former Cardinals defensive end Bertrand Berry (analyst) and azcardinals.com writer Darren Urban (sideline reporter) on the call for the Raiders, Bears, Falcons and Broncos games. Craig Grialou will handle the call for the Broncos contest. Each game can be heard on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM."

The growth and popularity of the Cardinals have made them appointment television, even during the preseason.

Also, during the home broadcast, both owner Michael Bidwill and General Manager Steve Keim will join Calvisi and Wolfley to discuss the current going ons within the organization.
