24994J 5585 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I'm okay with the lack of movement. Booger in the booth will be better than on that silly sideline rig, and is an improvement on Jason Witten.

Not to take away the spotlight from Rachel Nichols and Maria Taylor. However, both ladies are excellent in sideline reporting. But in studio I'm not 100% solid on that.

Viper550 291 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 ACC Network launched; I noticed from the clips that their studio insert graphics are different from the existing stock ESPN graphics, plus these motion graphics can be best described as "weirdly satisfying". 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16616-the-espn-thread/page/4/#findComment-231276 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it. It feels as satisfying as the 2010-2012 NBA on TNT graphics the way that the teams/localities are presented.

I could understand if a) the performance was live and b) it was scheduled during a more 'interesting' MNF...if one could look at the schedule + point out any sexy matchups that is. Every week though, taped? It just made it a more awkward overtly promotion of genesis than needed, let alone fuel more criticisms of ESPN stretching beyond sports, despite the 'E' in its name.

Viper550 291 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Is ESPN basically finding some way to change its scoreboard every season?

Spintech33 126 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 ESPN ACCN is getting a channel change through Verizon FIOS... On or after 12/7/19- Which is the ACC Football Championship game new channel will be 571 (HD), and 71 (SD) from previous channel 829(HD) thus moving the goal line channel to 829 from 71 (SD) and 571 (HD). This here makes total sense. Now most of the ESPN channels are on one block! Now if we can get ESPN+ on cable instead of being streaming only... Information reported first by: DSL Reports.
