Super Bowl I This game is the only Super Bowl to have been broadcast in the United States by two television networks simultaneously (no other NFL game was subsequently carried nationally on more than one network until December 29, 2007, when the New England Patriots faced the New York Giants on NBC, CBS, and the NFL Network). At the time, CBS held the rights to nationally televise NFL games while NBC had the rights to broadcast AFL games. It was decided to have both of them cover the game. Each network used their own announcers: Ray Scott, Jack Whitaker, and Frank Gifford provided commentary on CBS; while Curt Gowdy and Paul Christman were on NBC. NBC did have some problems. The network did not return in time from a halftime commercial break for the start of the second half; therefore, the first kickoff was stopped by the game's officials and was redone once NBC was back on the air. NBC was also forced to broadcast the game over CBS' feed and cameras. In other words, NBC's crew had little to no control over how the game was shot (i.e. the camera angles). Super Bowl I was the only Super Bowl in history that was not a sellout in terms of attendance, despite the TV blackout in the Los Angeles area. Days before the game, local newspapers printed editorials about what they viewed as a then-exorbitant $12 USD price for tickets, and wrote stories about how to pirate the signal from TV stations outside the Los Angeles area.

It was on two channels at the same time, NBC and CBS. The NBC announcers were Curt Gowdy and Paul Christman. The CBS announcers were Ray Scott, Frank Gifford, and Jack Whitaker.
