It's official: Wimbledon and ESPN have signed a twelve-year contract. NBC had the Wimbledon contract for 43 years, and showed only some of the big matches live in all time zones. Viewers in the USA will now be able to watch matches live, and those whose ISPs provide ESPN3 will continue to have access to a wider variety of matches.
NOW the question is....will they show the Wimbledon final on regular ESPN or put it on ESPN2?

The contract is for both ESPN and ESPN2.
ReplyDeleteyeah, i realize that it's usually ESPN2...just curious to see if they would put Wimbledon on ESPN instead ESPN2
ReplyDeleteThey've already said they're going to use ESPN, also, so there's a chance they'd put the final on ESPN.
