Although to be fair, the exact details of how the games will be broadcast, and the announcing teams and general presentation has only just been announced.
It's worth noting that NBC's "special contributor", Gary Lineker, is the main sports presenter on the BBC. He presents "Match of the Day" the BBC's long-running Saturday night highlights programme. I note that NBC Sports Network will also air a "Match of the Day" and "Match of the Day 2" as per the BBC. But these programmes look shorter than the BBC versions, so I assume it's just branding that will be shared. (Shared branding is a two-way street, Sky Sports has strongly branded Monday Night Football - the football being a different sport even to the one ESPN viewers are familiar with) Adam On Wed, Apr 17, 2013 at 9:39 PM, Joe Hass <[email protected]> wrote: > This was announced in October: > https://groups.google.com/d/topic/tvornottv/C4W-0xLREjI/discussion > > On Wed, Apr 17, 2013 at 3:26 PM, Tom Wolper <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Starting August all 380 games of the EPL season will be broadcast on NBC >> channels.
