SDHIll1980 103 Posted May 5, 2024 Share Posted May 5, 2024 10 hours ago, Georgie56 said: ESPN is reportedly close to a deal with NFLN. 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. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16616-the-espn-thread/page/9/#findComment-296971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 291 Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 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) 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16616-the-espn-thread/page/9/#findComment-298778 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3307 Posted August 29, 2024 Share Posted August 29, 2024 The SEC on ABC will use a revamped version of the early 2000s ESPN College Football theme.

Viper550 291 Posted November 6, 2024 Share Posted November 6, 2024 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 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16616-the-espn-thread/page/9/#findComment-301454 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
