Title: ESPN & MLB Sign Huge New Deal Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 28, 2012, 10:12:27 PM I'm surprised at the size of the deal and ESPN still does not get the World Series. Bizarre.
Quote The ESPN sports network agreed to pay Major League Baseball $5.6 billion over eight years for a package of television and digital rights through the 2021 season, a deal that reflects the strong demand for live sports content. ESPN, a major profit driver for owner Walt Disney Co , will pay baseball an average of $700 million a year, three sources who asked to remain anonymous said on Tuesday. The sum is nearly double the fee the cable network pays now. http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/08/28/disney-espn-idINL2E8JSFKJ20120828 Title: Re: ESPN & MLB Sign Huge New Deal Post by: XBAMA on August 28, 2012, 11:34:24 PM with espn on-board , those MLB players should be

ESPN is THE sports channel so I think they almost have to get the contract. Plus, only ESPN could show so many games a week. They have to fill air time, what would they do all summer without baseball, show badminton from India? :dunno: |
