So they have this headquarters for Redzone and it's pretty much one host consistently now (They flirted with two guys in rotation, but one dude is just way better). The whole broadcast, the studio just goes to the game where the team is most likely to score, usually when they're in the "Red Zone", which is the 20 yard line and in. So whatever game is most likely to score, they just go to that game, regardless of whatever else is going on. If you miss a big play that happened to score outside of 20 yards, they go and show you the replay anyway when there's a break. If multiple games are within the 20 yard line, they'll split the screen and show you both games, with audio of whichever game is more important, or is closer in score. Slightly subjective, but they do an amazing job with all that. If there are 4 games where a team is about to score, they will max out on their "Quad-box", where they will actually split the screen into fours, but that's pretty rare. The 10am window (Pacific) is really where it's at. Football is like train scheduling with their efficiency, and you can basically tune in at 10:01 and all games are kicking off almost simultaneously. You will probably have like 8-10 games at the same time and it's a ton of energy. Afternoon window will be scaled anywhere from 2-5 games depending on many variables I am not privy to. Afternoon games are real weird with some starting at like 12:15, but some later like after 1 for whatever reason.
They also end the broadcast with a Touchdown montage of every single TD of the entire day, so it's like this straight cut of every score of the day in one video that take a few minutes.
The only real drawback in my opinion, is that they're contracted for multiple games, so when they get down the final single game of the game, they have to call it and wrap up their broadcast. I don't know why this is, but if you only have Redzone, and the final game of the afternoon window (Before the final Sunday Night Football Game) is the only game still on, they will tell you you need to go watch it on whatever network is hosting it. That's when they'll wrap up with the TD montage and you're kind of on your own to know what happened at the end of the final game.
