ESPN/ABC+ XFL advertising & promotion

[GregParks]

Just saw what I believe was the first XFL commercial during MNF.

Figures I zonked through it. Good to see but damn was it all in black and white?

Also I noticed: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN+, ABC, FX in that order bottom at the end.

It looks like ESPN+ is going to have games after all?

Danny Garcia has gone on record saying they'd be producing original content for the league. I'm guessing most of it and/or pre/post game shows will be on ESPN+

We'll see. But I won't be surprised if a few games are on there. I really hope not (nothing is) as I'm not getting ESPN+.

BTW good TD by Rams / Baker... but that tool Matt Gay misses PAT.

Good catch on that GP. Nice to see them take further advantage of that ESPN/ABC/MNF partnership. One thing XFL 3.0 is ahead on at least. I don’t recall any commercials in Dec. 2019.

The Mouse will screw you guys over like what they did to the CFL. Expect all your games on ESPN+, hidden and ignored by the network

No they won't. They had the XFL at the upfronts last spring, it's going to be staple programming for them. They've already aired a half hour draft special that drew better than 90% of the CFL on ESPN 2 games.

The XFL is a made for TV league. The CFL is not. Different things are treated differently.

ESPN will do a good job with XFL coverage.

ESPN shake up is the real mystery box.
