Flyers presence large on NBC hockey telecasts

Assuming everything goes to plan and the 2012-13 season begins on October 11, the Philadelphia Flyers will be beamed across North American television screens quite a bit thanks to the corporate synergy between NBC and Comcast.

Below is the schedule breakdown from a team release:

For the second consecutive year, the Flyers will open their season as part of a national TV broadcast on the NBC Sports Network when they host the Boston Bruins on October 11.  The Flyers will be featured exclusively on the NBC Sports Network on six additional occasions throughout the year.
