Boab 73 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 ESPN, the US broadcaster who has bought the rights to the SPL, goes live across Britain today. And those in charge have promised that there will be no "Americanism" used when discussing Scottish football. The network will use British commentators and have promised to copy previous formats that have been used to cover the SPL. "We think about being locally relevant," said Russell Wolff, vice-president and managing director of ESPN International. "The last thing we want is for people to go, Oh, American sports media company.' "We want them to go, Hey, that's my sports channel, in my country.'" ESPN has the rights to show 46 live Premiership matches and the new channel launches with Everton v Arsenal on August 15 the first game to be screened. "This is one of the biggest challenges we've faced," said Wolff. "We were starting from zero, no rights, no on-air talents, rebranding, affiliate deals, sponsorship, and going from zero to 100 mph in eight weeks." Ray Stubbs has been poached from the BBC to co-host broadcasts with Rebecca Lowe, who was at Setanta. The commentary team will include Derek Rae, the Scot who worked on ESPN's football coverage in the US for the last 12 years and Jon Champion, while Craig Burley is expected to be offered a role in the SPL coverage. However, Wolff is aware that ESPN, 80% owned by the Walt Disney Company, will still have to overcome a perception that an American network is unfit to muscle in on a British game. "I am sensitive to it," he said. "We will ensure that we treat this with the same respect that we've done everywhere we've gone in the world."

Steely 58 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 i'm still updating my dodgy box. Hope it picks it up Bit shite though that we are the champions and our 1st match aint on TV.
