Notes
- Former CBC affiliate, then E! and now CityTV affiliate CHAT-TV in Medicine Hat, Alberta did not air the 2008 game, because of Calgary CBC station CBRT-TV, as well as online through live streaming on the CBC Sports website.
- In August 2006, MLS and ESPN announced an eight-year contract spanning 2007–2014, giving the league its first rights-fee agreement worth $8 million annually.[44] This deal gave league a regular primetime slot on Thursdays, televised coverage of the first round of the MLS SuperDraft, and an expanded presence on other ESPN properties such as ESPN360 (now ESPN3) and Mobile ESPN. The agreement also placed each season's opening match, All-Star Game, and MLS Cup on ABC.
- Bad weather at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. led to a 57 minute long rain delay in the first half of the 2002 game. Consequently, because ABC had to broadcast World News Tonight at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, the rest of the game was switched over[45][46] to ESPN.
1990s
Year | Network | Play-by-play | Color commentator(s) | Sideline reporter(s) | Pregame host |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1999[47][48] | ABC ESPN2[49][50][51] |
Phil Schoen | Ty Keough | Rob Stone | |
1998[52] | ABC | Phil Schoen[53] | Ty Keough | Rob Stone[54] | |
1997 | ESPN | Phil Schoen[55] | Ty Keough | Bill McDermott | Rob Stone |
1996 | ESPN | Phil Schoen[56] | Ty Keough | Bill McDermott | Roger Twibell |
Notes
- The entire 1999 game was aired to ESPN2 as ABC aired a special news report on the search for John F. Kennedy Jr.'s missing plane.
- On March 15, 1994, Major League Soccer with ESPN and ABC Sports announced the league's first television rights deal without any players, coaches, or teams in place.[57] The three-year agreement committed 10 games on ESPN, 25 on ESPN2, and the MLS Cup on ABC. The deal gave MLS no rights fees but split advertising revenue between the league and networks.
