American crews here.

The following information may be incomplete.

Notable items:

For the first time in eons, regular season coverage begins when the season starts, as opposed to picking up coverage well into the season.

Also for the first time since ever, for the most part, there is blanket playoff coverage, with a game featured almost each night. Previous seasons featured rather spotty coverage during the early rounds of the playoffs.
