With the N.Y. Giants’ opener set for tonight, MSG Networks, the team’s television home, has announced its new lineup of season-long Giants programming.

Hosted by Madelyn Burke, the exclusive postgame show will first air live on Monday night, September 14th, after the team’s opening week matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Burke will be joined on the postgame shows by a rotating group of analysts including Shaun O’Hara, Victor Cruz and David Diehl in the studio at the team’s practice facility, the Quest Diagnostics Training Center, in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The new programming lineup this year will feature the debut of the “Joe Judge Report,” which will give fans with tremendous insight into the coaching philosophy of the team’s new Head Coach. Hosted by Bob Papa, the show will feature Judge using the telestrator and providing viewers with unique, in-depth analysis of the team.

Airing every Friday night, the show will feature reporting from Burke and Paul Dottino and a panel of Giants experts including Howard Cross, Victor Cruz, David Diehl and Shaun O’Hara breaking down the team’s upcoming matchup with ten ‘must know’ topics. Each week, the show will also profile a key player or moment from the Giants’ 1990 Super Bowl championship season, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the team’s Super Bowl XXV win over the Buffalo Bills.
Starting this Sunday at 10:30am ET, the weekly programming will also include “Giants Chronicles, presented by Hackensack Meridian Health,” an award-winning documentary series that will give fans a great look back every Sunday morning at the classic games, moments and players from that storied 1990 championship season.
