In addition to closing the $8.5B MGM deal to boost Prime content:
“Legendary NFL play-by-player Al Michaels is in agreement with Amazon Prime Video to lead its booth when it begins its exclusive coverage of “Thursday Night Football” in the fall, The Post has learned.
Michaels’ partner will be ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit. An official announcement could come as early as this week.
Amazon declined to comment.
Michaels is expected to sign the contract shortly, after several months of negotiations. Michaels, whose contract is for three years, will be paid near the Joe Buck neighborhood, according to sources.
Buck signed a five-year, $75 million deal with ESPN to join his longtime partner at Fox, Troy Aikman, on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.”
