So what exactly does Red Zone give you or show? Is it like a studio show that shows highlights of scoring plays right after they happen?
It's basically a studio show with 1 commentator who shows you all the "action" as live as they can make it. Usually, that translates into red zone chances and they will show every TD of every game. If there are 2-4 games with scoring chances, they'll split the display and show both, etc. While showing the live stuff, they usually switch over to the real commentators for that game, such as the CBS/FOX guys.
There are no commercials so they're basically showing live games or as close to live as possible the entire time from 1PM-7PM Eastern or whatever it works out to. If every single game on is in commercial, they'll show previous highlights so it's not total nonstop action but as much as possible. There are more lulls in the afternoon games since there are fewer games so they might end up showing regular action, like drives from a team's own 20 after a kickoff or something. But for the early games, it's essentially tons of red zone/scoring live action for 3 hours.
It's pretty good for today's ADD generation and for keeping track of fantasy stats if you're in a league.
It is kind of nice because it's all the interesting plays for all the games. The only downside is that it's rather expensive. I saw 50/month with my provider.
