==Broadcasting== The game was broadcast in the United States by [[NFL on CBS|CBS]] with [[Play-by-play|play-by-play announcer]] [[Ray Scott (sportscaster)|Ray Scott]] and [[color commentator]] [[Pat Summerall]]. [[Jack Whitaker]] hosted the pregame show, and [[Tom Brookshier]] conducted locker room interviews post-game. Although Tulane Stadium was sold out for the game, unconditional [[blackout (broadcasting)|blackout]] rules in the NFL prohibited the live telecast from being shown [[WWL-TV|in the New Orleans area]]. This was the last Super Bowl to be blacked out in the TV market in which the game was played (the NFL allowed WWL to air the game on tape delay at 11:30 that night). The game was not blacked out in [[WAFB|Baton Rouge]], which was blacked out during Saints home games. The following year, the NFL allowed [[Super Bowl VII]] to be televised live in the host city ([[KNBC|Los Angeles]]) when all tickets were sold. In {{nfly|1973}}, the league changed its blackout policy to allow any game to be broadcast in the home team's market if sold out 72 hours in advance. The blackout rule has been suspended since {{nfly|2015}}. This game was featured in the movie ''[[Where the Buffalo Roam]]'' where the protagonist character [[Hunter S. Thompson]] is sent to cover the game by ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine, although the host site set in the movie is [[Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum]] (site of [[Super Bowl VII]]), not [[Tulane Stadium]]. Except for a portion of the Cowboys first scoring drive and the Dolphins only scoring drive (both drives ended with field goals), the complete original broadcast exists. ===In popular culture=== This game was featured in the movie ''[[Where the Buffalo Roam]]'' where the protagonist character [[Hunter S. Thompson]] is sent to cover the game by ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine, although the host site set in the movie is [[Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum]] (site of [[Super Bowl VII]]), not [[Tulane Stadium]].
