ESPN Removing BottomLine Ticker on College Football Games
Front Office Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- ESPN is removing its BottomLine ticker during live college football games across multiple networks, including ABC, ACC Network, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNews, and SEC Network.
- The network had previously eliminated the ticker for College Football Playoff games and major NBA and NHL postseason events.
- ESPN aims to create a cleaner broadcast presentation that focuses viewers' attention on the live action on the field.
- Score alerts will still appear at specific times during each quarter, along with updates near the score bug or screen corners to inform viewers about schedule changes.
- The change is intended to reduce screen clutter, relying on fans to check other game scores on their mobile devices.
