Why don't NFL use the Redzone channel more. Couldn't they use it for other games that are on during the week? Or use it as an overflow/alternate channel for when NFL has more than one game on at a time. It seems daft just have it for a few hours on a Sunday.
Why dont NFL have NFL Redzone 24/7?

The same reason that Sunday Ticket is only broadcast on Sundays. 
There are only two other days with NFL Football - Monday night and Thursday night one game each with a couple of exceptions. (At end of year there are a couple of Saturday games, Thanksgiving two games, opening Thursday two games) Monday night is an ESPN exclusive, far more available than the Red Zone channel anyway. Thursday night is already on Cable with the NFL network - more widely available than the Red Zone, and many Thursdays on free Network TV. There really isn't an overflow nor is the Red Zone more available than already exists.
Don't you worry..the greedy NFL will find away to expand its use..maybe cheer-leading during off hours
The local news or even ESPN Sportscenter re-plays those touchdowns along with re-caps of sports in general, and by that time there is no compelling reason to sit through every Red Zone replay on NFL Redzone when we already know the outcome of the game. It is not knowing if there will be a score that keeps sports fans on the edge of their seats. After we know who has won and lost and the scores, most people would rather watch a re-run of a sitcom before sitting through too many replays. But, it might cost NFL too much money, or more money than they want to spend, to make NFL Redzone 24/7. NFL is probably too cheap.
Simply put. The NFL doesn't need two 24/7 channels devoted to the league. All that would become is an overflow of previously broadcasted games.
They could use redzone for other camera angles on Sunday, Monday and Thursday night football games.

Except I'm sure ESPN would have an issue with that on Mondays... They want any and all eyes on their product and their product only.
