ESPN killed live action remakes, they killed Star Wars, they killed Indiana Jones, they killed their animated division, they are starting to kill PIXAR and are starting to kill the Marvel Universe.
RedZone is next.
RedZone is next.
Very weird when they are negotiating tv rights indeedCONFLICT OF INTEREST MUCH?!?!
People got exactly what they wanted and forget why cable was created in the first place.
The only thing that's missing now is these companies locking people into long term deals.
Under the terms of these agreements:
- NFL Network, including both linear and digital rights, would be owned and operated by ESPN and fully integrated into ESPN DTC, alongside traditional pay television distribution, increasing accessibility and flexibility for consumers and promoting innovation in sports programming.
- ESPN would own broad rights to the RedZone brand and distribute the NFL RedZone Channel to pay TV operators for continued inclusion into their sports packages.
- NFL Fantasy Football would merge with ESPN Fantasy Football, creating the official Fantasy season-long game of the NFL and one best-in-class digital experience, driving innovation and enabling broader reach to meet global demand.
- In total, ESPN’s platforms will license an additional three NFL games per season to air on NFL Network as a result of today’s news. In addition, ESPN will adjust its overall NFL game schedule, with four games (including some from overlapping windows) shifting to the NFL Network, which will continue to present seven games per season.
- The NFL will continue to own and operate its retained media businesses including properties such as NFL Films and key fan-facing platforms such as NFL+, NFL.com, the NFL Podcast Network, the NFL FAST Channel and the official sites for the league’s 32 clubs. It will also continue to own, operate, and produce NFL RedZone, and retain the rights to distribute NFL RedZone digitally.
Pieces in bold are most interesting to me. Sounds like a lot of folks at NFLN could be out of a job, unfortunately. That’s just how these things go.
I want to understand how the swap of games between ESPN and NFLN will work. Which games are they talking…Sunday morning international games that NFLN has, shiitty ESPN doubleheader games, the good December games that air on NFLN?
STILL cheaper then cable

Some standout info…
- ESPN Obtains New Digital Rights In a Separate Agreement; The ESPN App will Provide Deeper Personalization with Enhanced Features and Functionality for NFL Fans; Agreement Also Expands NFL Content Available on Disney+
- ESPN and ABC (College GameDay) will each produce telecasts for Rounds 1-3 on Thursday and Friday—a staple of ESPN’s presentation since 2019. On Saturday, ESPN will continue to air Rounds 4-7, with ABC simulcasting the network’s coverage.
- ESPN can add other alternate telecasts across streaming platforms for Rounds 1-7.
- All offerings will be available on ESPN’s DTC service. Additional alternate NFL Draft presentations from ESPN will be available on the same streaming platforms, as will a new daily show dedicated to the NFL Draft. The new show, which will air on ESPN2 most days, will launch the day following the Super Bowl and continue through that year’s Draft.

Do y'all think this is good business or desperation? First you buying up the NFL Network and now you're acquiring rights to WWE PLE events? And don't forget Inside the NBA
