ESPN and the NFL are in advanced talks that would give league a stake in the network
https://nypost.com/2024/01/12/sports...y-in-tv-giant/

ESPN and the NFL are in advanced talks that could result in the league taking an equity stake in ESPN, The Post has learned.

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 owners and players need to be involved in the equity agreement because of the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the two sides that calls for them to share revenues. It is unclear of how an equity stake in ESPN would be accounted for in the CBA.

It still could take months for a deal to be finalized. Both ESPN and the NFL declined comment.

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.

ESPN currently offers ESPN+ as a separate add-on service, but it has more specialty programming, including one exclusive NFL game.

As it turns to direct-to-consumer, ESPN ideally wants a league partner and one of the top digital players, such as, but not limited to Apple, Amazon or Verizon, so it can leverage its content with the best distribution channels. In June, CNBC reported that ESPN held talks with the NFL, NBA and MLB.

ESPN currently pays the NFL around $2.6 billion per year for rights that include 25 games, highlighted by its weekly Monday Night prime time schedule.

The rest of them are interchangeable. Maybe bring Brandt on exclusively the day after Chiefs playoff wins
I'd say definitely keep Schraeger and Brandt. I haven't watched a ton of it, but Jamie Erdahl does a solid job from what I can tell. She had a pretty tough act to follow. That other dude they have on is awful and they should be working to replace before they re-launch in L.A.

Now we need NFL/Disney/ESPN to build the most advanced nicest stadium in the world in Orlando Disney World.

Can be the all-time host of the Super Bowl but can of course do concerts and other things.

I can't stand Erdahl. She always picks against the Chiefs and just seems to have some kind of hatred for Chiefs.

Hmmm would this mean we can have a Mahomes Star Wars movie? Find out that Mahomes is actually Yoda's ancestor!

Since James Palmer has became a de facto Chiefs beat reporter, ESPN should hire him to replace Adam Teicher.

For me that just adds amusement. Unless somebody is pressing a personal agenda like Mike Florio I have no problem with somebody who just picks/speaks against the Chiefs in pick-em segments, etc.

**** this. ESPN will create two super-divisions of teams that we are forced to watch including the Cowboys, Giants, etc. 80% of playoff berths and TV proceeds will go those top 6 teams. The rest of us can get ****ed. I’ve seen this movie with the ESPN-SEC and ESPN-B1G and no thank you.

East Coast Teams vs. The Field

Your new Super Bowl matchups. The Field will win 90% of the games by a margin of three touchdowns, minimum.

WTH is going on at NFL Network? Just fired a bunch of folks, postponing shows, etc.

I don't want to sit through basketball highlights to get to my football.

Moving to LA is what I think, but they are letting some folks go.
