CBS Sports began televising National Football League games in 1956. From 1956-1967, CBS assigned their commentating crews to one team each for the entire season. Beginning in 1968, CBS instituted a semi-merit system for their commentating crews. Following the 1993 season, the NFL on CBS television program went on a four-season hiatus. CBS lost the rights to cover the National Football Conference to the Fox Broadcasting Company. However, CBS gained the American Football Conference package from NBC beginning in 1998. The names of the play-by-play men are listed first while the color commentators are listed second.
