NAPLES, Fla. – Jan. 17, 2008 – As American sports fans prep for Super Bowl XLII Feb. 3, Sky Angel U.S., LLC, a national television provider of faith-based and family-friendly programming, becomes the latest to ink an agreement to offer the official network of the National Football League, NFL Network, as part of its new Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) channel line-up.
