NFL Network is now using ESPN NFL Primetime highlights music
With ESPN now owning NFL Network, we’ve already seen plenty of crossover between the two networks. And that includes in the music for highlights. NFL Network and other assets are now under the ESPN umbrella in exchange for the league now owning a 10% equity stake in the worldwide leader. It’s fair to acknowledge that…
Since its acquisition by ESPN, NFL Network has integrated various aspects of its former identity, including the music used in its highlight packages. This change has been particularly noticeable on NFL GameDay during Week 1, where fans were treated to the classic tunes from the now-defunct ESPN show, NFL Primetime. The iconic tracks, previously featured on NFL Primetime, have added an extra layer of excitement to the highlight reels on NFL Network.
The show, which ran from 1987 to 2005, was a staple for NFL fans, with Chris Berman and Tom Jackson as its most recognizable faces. Despite its discontinuation due to a shift in broadcasting rights, NFL Primetime has made a resurgence as a streaming show on ESPN Unlimited. It returned in 2019 with the same beloved commentators, Berman, Jackson, and now Booger McFarland.
