An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving Cynopsis
Good morning. It’s Wednesday, November 19, 2008, and this is your first early morning briefing. Tonight’s Finales: ~ MORE GOOD STUFF ~
ESPN and the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) announced a firm four-year agreement was settled between the two, allowing ESPN to have exclusive TV, radio, digital, international and marketing rights for 15 BCS bowl games beginning January 2011. The deal covers the Fiesta, Orange and Sugar Bowl games each season and the BCS National Championship Game for three years starting 2011. This deal, at a reported $125 million per year, marks the first time these major bowl games will air on a cable network versus a broadcast network. FOX most recently aired the bowl games and earlier this week declined to match ESPN’s offer. ABC currently holds the rights to the Rose Bowl through 2010 and sister network, ESPN has not verified if it will take over the Rose in 2011. Specifics of the new ESPN/BCS deal include:
