ESPN-NFL MEDIA DEAL
As reported by The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand on Friday, The Worldwide Leader in Sports is getting even bigger. ESPN will gain access to NFL RedZone, NFL Network, seven regular season games, NFL’s fantasy football business and potentially more in exchange for “billions” in equity.
The deal coincides with ESPN announcing their direct-to-consumer product, and it gives the network a leg up in carriage agreements due to now controlling NFL Network and RedZone.
