In the Atlanta area, any TNT game involving the Falcons was simulcast on co-owned WTBS channel 17, which is the local version of TBS.

Unlike the Braves, Hawks and Thrashers, however, Ted Turner never owned the Falcons at any point in time (due to NFL ownership rules).

The Sunday night TNT halftime show was the first major network NFL broadcast to utilize a player statistics "crawl" at the bottom of the screen.

With Fantasy Football in its early stages of popularity, and the internet not being readily available to the general public, this was the only way for most fans to get updated Sunday player stats without waiting until the 11:00 p.m. or midnight sports highlight shows on CNN and ESPN.

In addition to the Sunday night games, TNT also presented an annual special, Super Bowl Television.

The program, which aired on Friday and Saturday night, mixed a preview of that season's game with entertainment segments.
