"Launching on Amazon Fire TV marks an important step in scaling our audiovisual distribution and unlocking new commercial opportunities across connected TV."
McMurphy reports that Benetti will leave ESPN for FOX Sports and become the voice of the network's No. 2 college football broadcast team alongside Brock Huard.
Benetti, who is with ESPN now and is voice of the Chicago White Sox television broadcasts as well as Peacock's MLB Sunday Leadoff game, would join Brock Huard in the booth.
"Benetti is entertaining to watch. Whether you’re an old school follower of baseball and feel that batting average is still important, or a newer, metrics fan, he can appeal to you."
"I do want people to know that watching baseball through a different prism is a good thing. It’s always a good thing. Let different people comment on the game every once in a while."
