Titans Preseason Football is a live game presentation of Tennessee Titans pre-season football games not shown nationally on network television. The program is broadcast on the Titans Preseason Television Network, a unit of ABC Television Network affiliate WKRN-TV of Nashville, Tennessee. As of August 2015, the program is sponsored by Nissan, Tennessee Lottery, and by Comcast/Xfinity. The program is a production of WKRN-TV and its parent company, Media General. [1]
History
The Titans Preseason Television Network was formed in 1999 after the football franchise moved to the then-new Adelphia Coliseum (later LP Field, now Nissan Stadium). WKRN-TV has been the flagship station of all pre-season Tennessee Titans preseason game broadcasts, with the exception of any preseason games broadcast nationally.
Currently, the games are called by WKRN sports director Cory Curtis. Former Titans running back Eddie George provides color analogy, and sideline reports are provided by Audra Martin, who also serves as a sports anchor at WKRN.[2]
