ESPN makes drastic change to college football telecast presentation
Regular season college football games will look a little different on ESPN this year.
ESPN is altering its approach to presenting college football games on television. The sports broadcasting giant has announced it will discontinue the BottomLine ticker that has been a staple of its coverage. This change is part of ESPN's ongoing effort to refine its sports broadcasts for better viewer engagement. ESPN's spokesperson explained that the decision is aimed at "creating a cleaner presentation that keeps the focus on the action on the field."
While the BottomLine will no longer appear during live games, viewers will still receive score alerts at the start of each quarter. ESPN also noted that the broadcast presentation will retain flexibility to inform fans of any disruptions, such as delayed kickoffs or games starting on alternate ESPN networks.
