"I think ESPN rightly wanted to own and operate and produce RedZone outright because of the galactic popularity of the show. But the NFL, for their reasons, wanted to retain control of the production of RedZone."
"I look forward to sharing the stories of four schools I already know and love — Oregon, UCLA, USC, and Washington — and am thrilled to reconnect with the schools I grew up watching."
“These honorees have used their platforms to change the world and make it more inclusive for marginalized and suffering communities, demonstrating incredible resilience, positivity and perseverance, and we’re thrilled to celebrate them at The 2024 ESPYS.”
This would be a great time to play into the nostalgia of your local sports market and have programming geared towards highlighting former players, coaches, broadcasters and more.
