ESPN announced today that it has reached a deal with the New York Giants, New York Jets, New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Miami Dolphins for ESPN Radio to syndicate their games to out-of-market stations. The teams will continue to broadcast in their home markets through their official local stations.
ESPN NFL analysts Herm Edwards, Bill Polian and Damien Woody will each work several of ESPN Radio’s national broadcasts. Additional commentators and the complete schedule will be announced at a later date.
“Adding the NFL to ESPN Radio’s play-by-play mix, which already includes MLB, NBA, BCS, and the new college football championship starting in 2015, strengthens an already unparalleled and valuable lineup to advertisers, our affiliates and sports fans,” said Traug Keller, ESPN senior vice president, production business divisions. “We are excited to enter the NFL game business.”
