Al Michaels may be done in the “Sunday Night Football” booth, but he’s not leaving NBC just yet.
Michaels has been given “emeritus status” and will “continue to broadcast and contribute across NBC Sports’ high-profile properties,” the network announced on Tuesday. Among other things, Michaels is expected to work NFL playoff games on NBC and help with Olympics coverage again in 2024.
Michaels is set to take over calling “Thursday Night Football” broadcasts for Amazon Prime Video this season. Amazon is starting the first of its new exclusive deal for those games this fall. He’ll be joined there by longtime ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit.
