Make sure ALL playoff games were televised locally AND start all evening games by 7:30 pm to catch new fans and future consumers.
Abolish score/news tickers during live broadcasts of games
Stop with the over-Twitterfication of broadcasts
Allow any person the ability to view every pro/college game they want no matter their location either with satellite or internet broadcast
Abolish all blackouts of replays, news, or magazine programs
More boxing on TV networks
Simulcast at least 1/3rd of MLB, NBA, and NHL games on local OTA networks
Abolish NFL blackouts
All playoff games on free national TV

Do what? There are 32 teams in the NFL. That is 16 games. So to have "national" coverage, you need 16 time slots.
Simple
ABC,NBC,CBS,FOX, ESPN, TNT,TBS, and NFL Network
That's 8 possible channels, when spread over Sunday afternoon double headers, Sunday Night and Monday Night it's more than enough slots to fill 16 games on non-bye Weeks.

Man...that would be awesome..but greedy a$$ corp. execs would never let it happen.
Whether or not this is related to the actual league or TV networks (or a combination of both), I'm not sure. I do, however, wish they would allow us to purchase a "season ticket" for just one or two teams. For example, if I'm in Georgia but want the Bengals and Seahawks in the NFL, the Nationals and Giants in MLB, the Heat and Bucks in NBA and the Leafs and Coyotes in NHL I wish I could get just one team rather than ordering the whole package. Those are just examples above but it would be nice.

For the nfl too. Lol.
Don't get me wrong I'd love to be able to watch them all at any time without Sunday ticket too.

Of course, any NFL fan would LIKE to have ST without paying for it. Just because it won't happen doesn't mean we can't dream.
Making all games available to everyone would severely hurt the channels ratings and ad revenue though. CBS and Fox don't want people to be able to turn another channel and be able to choose between 6 or 7 other games on a Sunday afternoon. The NFL's monster ratings numbers would be spread much more thinly across several different channels.
