When I traveled to Japan back 25 years ago, the TV would replay a football game in less than an hour. Of course, they didn’t show any plays where a team didn’t make any yardage. So on occasion, you would just see alternating punts/returns.
On the other hand, they would show the entire playoff baseball game. The American announcers would do the play by play. During the commercial breaks, the Japanese announcers would come on to talk about the game.
