Background
Week 17 matchups frequently carry playoff implications and heightened viewing interest, and the Packers’ home game against the Ravens is no exception. Lambeau Field remains one of the NFL’s most prominent venues, drawing both regional and national audiences. The NFL’s broadcast model combines national rights holders, local over-the-air partners and team radio networks to maximize reach while respecting home-market streaming limits.
Broadcast teams and established radio networks play a central role in delivering consistent game coverage across platforms. The Packers Radio Network spans 54 stations across Wisconsin and nearby states, anchored this season by flagship 95.7 BIG F.M. in Milwaukee. National radio partners such as Westwood One provide a single-feed option for listeners outside of local markets, preserving a simple alternative for traveling or remote fans.
Main Event (Broadcast Logistics)
Television: Peacock will carry the national television feed for the game. Fans in Green Bay should tune to NBC26 for over-the-air coverage; Milwaukee viewers can watch on TMJ4. The TV broadcast team listed for the telecast includes Noah Eagle (play-by-play), Todd Blackledge (analyst) and Kathryn Tappen (sideline reporter).
Mobile & streaming: NFL+ and Peacock’s apps provide mobile viewing where the platforms hold rights and where league rules permit live streaming. The Packers’ official channels emphasize that mobile availability follows NFL broadcast regulations, which can vary by market and platform.
Radio: The Packers Radio Network will air the team’s official radio call; Wayne Larrivee returns as the long-time play-by-play voice, joined by Larry McCarren and John Kuhn. Sirius subscribers can hear the broadcast on channels 82 or 225 and via the Sirius app. Westwood One’s national radio feed (John Sadak and Derek Rackley) will be available for listeners outside local markets.
Team streams and in-game coverage: Packers.com will stream the official radio broadcast to desktop users worldwide, while the Packers mobile app offers the feed within the team’s home market. The official radio pregame show is scheduled to begin at 5:05 p.m. CT. For fans who prefer text or community interaction, a live chat with Mike Spofford will provide game-day commentary and will begin at kickoff.
Analysis & Implications
Distribution mix and fan access: This matchup illustrates the layered nature of modern NFL distribution: national streaming (Peacock), local over-the-air partners (NBC26, TMJ4), league apps (NFL+) and traditional radio. That multi-channel approach increases access but also creates variance in availability depending on geography and subscription status.
Impact on local audiences: Local broadcast windows (NBC26 and TMJ4) ensure that fans without paid streaming subscriptions can still watch on over-the-air television within the designated markets. Radio remains a crucial accessibility channel in rural areas and for listeners on the go, underscored by the Packers Radio Network’s broad affiliate footprint.
Commercial and strategic considerations: Peacock’s national carriage helps the platform reach sports viewers during a high-interest week, while the Packers maintain first-party touchpoints through team streams and the mobile app. The arrangement balances revenue-generating national rights with fan-friendly local and team-controlled options.
Future trends: Expect continued emphasis on simultaneous multi-platform distribution, but with increasing attention to subscription friction and market-specific rights limitations. Teams and leagues will likely keep refining where they host premium content to retain direct fan relationships while honoring national media deals.
