Georgie56 3059 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 3 minutes ago, JTT said: ESPN has the major 4 sports leagues - NFL, NBA, MLB, & NHL, plus college sports. Is this the first time that one network has all of the major sports in recent years? ESPN/ABC has all four leagues for a time in the early 2000s.

WCAUTVNBC10 408 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I don't think this service is replacing the linear cable/satellite service, just running along side it. That makes more sense if the goal is to capture the cord cutters that ran away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5269 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I know Doris Burke is polarizing, but I like her enough. But listening to Doc Rivers 3 hours a night, up to 3 or 4 nights a week, during the postseason? Goodness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Newsroom 1149 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 A standalone ESPN DTC streaming service is officially launching next fall (or as soon as next August). It'll air feeds of ESPN networks and programming, and interactive features like stats and score. Yes, is different from ESPN+. https://deadline.com/2024/02/disney-espn-streaming-launch-date-bob-iger-1235818372/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll probably have an option to show betting info and game stats, sort of like how Amazon has an NFL StatCast feed for TNF. They would be dumb to bake that into the main feed itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be some exceptions there, like the ESPN channel simulcast of the National Championship, with radio views, although some are awful like that “Power Play on ESPN+” crap that’s just way too much. We don’t need that many games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
