Sunday NFL Countdown is a pregame show of all the NFL action for that week. The official name is Sunday NFL Countdown presented by IBM. The show airs on ESPN, ESPN HD, TSN and TSN HD from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eastern time every Sunday during the National Football League regular season.
It is very similar to The NFL Today on CBS and FOX NFL Sunday, which airs on FOX. The show's former names include NFL GameDay from 1985 to 1995, from 1996 to 1997, NFL Countdown and since 1998, Sunday NFL Countdown. In 2006, the program introduced new graphics and a new logo to resemble the network's Monday Night Football logo.
The show made its first appearance on TV in 1985 and Chris Berman has been the studio host for every one of those years, along with Tom Jackson who joined the program one year after its debut.
The show's awards include seven Sports Emmy Awards for Outstanding Weekly Show (1988, 1991, 1994, 1995, 2001, 2003 and 2006 seasons) and five CableACE Awards (1989, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995 seasons).
