Nitro Posted January 13 Posted January 13 (edited) I stopped watching ESPN's NFL shows and switched to the NFL Network years ago. Very happy with the NFL products and on air personalities. GMF, GameDay, NFL Access are some of the better shows. ESPN will just kill it with their politics. Edited January 13 by Nitro 1 4 1 Quote

loyal2dagame Posted January 13 Posted January 13 The NFL cannot be so blind to not know that this is a Disney money grab to avoid paying rights to the league for games Quote

As part of a potential agreement, Disney-owned ESPN would take control of NFL Media, which includes NFL Network, and the league would receive equity in ESPN. For the long-term viability of ESPN aligning with the most powerful sports league would enhance its position as the network plans to move to direct to consumer by 2025. While the idea of an ESPN-NFL alliance has been mentioned before, discussions between Disney-owned ESPN and the NFL are far enough along that sources said that owners and the Players Association are being informed about the talks [...] The NFL has been trying to unload its network for years now. In its recent talks that resulted in its $110-plus billion deals with ESPN, Amazon, CBS, Fox, NBC and YouTube, the NFL searched for a buyer, but was unsuccessful. NFL Media consists of NFL Network, NFL.com, Red Zone, NFL Films and NFL+. Since ESPN covers the league thoroughly, there would be synergies if the two sides are able to reach an agreement. Disney/ESPN might be able to secure better carriage arrangements for NFL Network. ESPN has targeted 2025 as the most likely year it will go direct-to-consumer. It is still possible it could move up the date to end of this year. When it does, it plans on offering all its programming without a cable subscription. A subscriber could choose to pay for the service directly through ESPN’s app or would still be able to opt for the ESPN channels through a cable or satellite provider. There goes the NFLN right into the shiter 1 Quote

CSBill Posted January 13 Posted January 13 I hope not. The best thing on the NFL Network is the Red Zone. After that, it's all the same content, just different people. 1 Quote
