WCPO-TV has acquired local TV rights to the Bengals’ two Amazon Prime Video telecasts to go along with the two ABC/ESPN Monday Night Football games, giving the Scripps station four Bengals primetime games this year.
CBS affiliate WKRC-TV again will air the most Bengals games this season — eight — because CBS holds the rights to AFC game.
Fox affiliate WXIX-TV — the Bengals’ new flagship station for preseason games, Bengals Weekly and other team programs — gets only two regular season games at this point in time.
WLWT-TV will broadcast one NBC Sunday Night Football game this season through the first 15 games.
Times and networks have not been announced for the Bengals last two games — hosting the Broncos on Sunday, Dec. 29, and ending the season in Pittsburgh on Sunday, Jan. 5.
Fox 19, which has the local Bengals TV package — held for more than two decades by WKRC-TV — will air only two of the three Bengals’ preseason telecasts. WCPO-TV has the last preseason game: a simulcast of Amazon Prime Video’s Indianapolis-Cincinnati game Thursday night, Aug. 22.
“We are thrilled to be able to bring Bengals fans five primetime games this season,” said Jeff Brogan, WCPO-TV vice president and general manager, in a media statement.
