Regular season television coverage

From their inaugural season in 1966 until the end of the 1968 season, the majority of the Dolphins' games were carried on WSVN, as it was the Miami area's NBC affiliate (NBC carried the AFL/AFC package from 1965-97). In 1989, after NBC purchased CBS affiliate WTVJ (then channel four, later channel six, now on channel 50), NBC programming, and thus the Dolphins games, moved there. Prior to that time, WTVJ starting in 1973 aired sold-out Dolphins home games in which they played an NFC opponent (CBS had the NFC package to the time). From 1989 through 1993, those games would air on WCIX (channel six), which was bought by CBS.

In 1994, the NFC package moved to Fox, and WSVN (which became the Fox affiliate after the network purchases of WTVJ and WCIX) starting airing the Dolphins' interconference home games. In 1998, the AFC package moved to CBS, and locally, the former WCIX - by then known as WFOR on channel four.

WPLG was the local carrier of Monday Night Football games through 2005. When the Dolphins play, they now air locally on WSFL-TV.
