Commercial-free football is gone, and perhaps Scott Hanson is next.

The RedZone host, famous for the scoring-focused Sunday program during the regular season, might leave as Hanson is apparently being pursued by NBC, an NFL broadcast partner.

Hanson, 51, is entering the last season of his contract as host of RedZone, and negotiations have stalled, according to Front Office Sports.

Hanson had previously collaborated with NBC during the 2024 Olympics where he worked on the show “Gold Zone,” and rumors suggest NBC aims to bring back the program for the 2026 Winter Olympics.

It is unclear what Hanson’s role with NBC would be, although, Front Office Sport said it would be “wide ranging.”

NBC recently acquired NBA rights, beginning in the 2025-26 season.

If Hanson decides to leave RedZone coverage, Andrew Siciliano, who hosted DirectTV’s RedZone broadcast as recently as 2023, is the most probable candidate for his replacement.

During the 2024 season, RedZone removed the “commercial-free” aspect of the program, although it appears there is an impasse over whether that added revenue will help pay Hanson’s salary.

Hanson issued an apology during Week 15 for still advertising that the show was commercial free, even though it was not.

“Hey, everyone. As we kick off a great football weekend, I just wanted to take a quick second and apologize for using the commercial-free catchphrase at the top of last show,” Hanson said on Dec. 22. “I was conflicted about it beforehand. I had a tough decision to make, and I made the wrong decision, and I’m sorry. I try to be the best host I can possibly be. What we have shared together and what we have seen and experienced together for 16 seasons on NFL RedZone is unlike anything else. I love it. I hope to do it for 16 more years. But being a great host means being accurate, being truthful, and having integrity. And so I hope you consider accepting this apology.”

The show is produced by the NFL, with help from the NFL Network, and has been running since 2009 with Hanson as its host since its inception.
