White House press secretary Sarah Sanders confirmed Sunday military service members overseas will be able to watch NFL playoff games after the American Forces Network resumed broadcasting, despite the government shutdown.

"Update: @DeptofDefense has informed us that AFN has been restored in most places. Glad our brave men and women can watch the game today," Sanders tweeted.

Earlier, Sanders shared an image sent to her by "a young infantryman serving in Afghanistan" of a TV screen with the words: "Due to the government shutdown, AFN services are not available."

The Pentagon promised Saturday to look for “creative solutions” to reinstate the network, which provides news, entertainment, sports and command information to military personnel, after it went dark following Congress' failure to reach an agreement on a continuing resolution to fund the government.

Several disgruntled military members complained privately to the Washington Examiner there was no apparent reason to end broadcasts because operations are largely run by uniformed staff, who are still at work during the shutdown.
