NFL Network is in cost-cutting mode, as they're laying-off some staff, including many on-air personalities, plus cancelling Total Access.  If ESPN takes over NFL Media, then more than likely NFL Live will take over as the Shield's "show of record".  Also, because NFL Media is now currently based across the driveway from SoFi Stadium, it would also potentially give ESPN a second Los Angeles-area studio facility to operate from, if necessary.

 

This has been rumored for years.

ESPN posted a sizzle reel focusing on the new SEC on ABC package, and I think we're definitely getting a new ESPN College Football scoreboard. It's interesting, giving me the more compact vibes of the basketball one at least. I can't see them being exclusive to SEC games (the existing package, except for the scoreboard, aged pretty well)

The SEC on ABC will use a revamped version of the early 2000s ESPN College Football theme.

Turns out that new scorebug, graphics and music are exclusive to the SEC; all other coverage will continue using the existing 2020 graphics and music.

A promo for the CFP rankings show has a logo that follows the same "shield" template as the SEC on ABC. Though except for the bracket graphics (which used a completely different style of graphic to anything else), the current studio graphics were otherwise out in full force

Reminiscent of what happened at CBS regarding the Jaguars/Chiefs Week 1 NFL game back in 2019, ESPN suffered a malfunction of their own during the Auburn/Kentucky College Basketball game earlier today.

More like the 2008 Chargers/Bills game where the power went out & CBS missed loads of action since Chiefs/Jaguars 2019 Week 1 happened when the game was winding down around the 2-minute warning. ESPN/ABC lucked out in the fact that Auburn dominated the 2nd half & it wasn't an exciting, close game at the end. Turned out to have an effect on the game as the refs weren't able to do a replay review on one play, although I'm sure they could've also considered maybe taking video from the arena itself with the jumbotron. I'm sure hockey fans were happy considering if it weren't for this technical issue, they'd probably be scrambling their remotes looking for ESPNEWS to see the start of Bruins/Penguins because AUB/UK dragged out.

Say goodbye to "Sportscenter...from Los Angeles". L.A. based editions of SC will shutter by May with All SC editions fully based in Bristol again:
