The amount of work it would take for every network to know every kicker and create a framework for showing that is a lot higher than for you to know your team's kicker, which odds are you already know anyway. Though it creates another marketing opportunity (Red Gold Red Zone, anyone?) so maybe it's just a matter of time.

ESPN (and sometimes Fox, I think?) will sometimes show a field mark like the AR first down line for a team's kicker's record kick (furthest kick they've made successfully in a game with this team). My brain tells me when I've seen it has most often been a Blue Line, so I guess it denotes the wider kick-scoring "Blue Zone" versus the field-scoring "Red Zone"?
