Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) November 25, 2014 -- RCN, an industry-leading competitive provider of high-speed Internet, digital TV and phone services, announces today the launch of NFL Network and NFL RedZone TV Everywhere applications. RCN Digital TV customers who receive the networks as part of their cable service can now utilize the “Watch NFL Network” application to view NFL Network and NFL RedZone anywhere in the United States on Internet-connected computers, tablets and Xbox One.
With “Watch NFL Network,” RCN TV customers can view live streams of NFL Network and NFL RedZone programming and see every touchdown in every game on Sunday during the regular season.

“NFL Media continues to distribute our great content to as many fans on as many platforms as possible,” said John Malkin, VP Affiliate Distribution for NFL Network. “Extending ‘Watch NFL Network’ availability to RCN subscribers falls squarely within that goal.”
