🏈 ESPN MegaCast to Provide Multiple Viewing Options

[sean]

Alabama football fans watching Monday's national championship game between the Crimson Tide and Georgia will have a number of options for viewing the game courtesy of ESPN's MegaCast.

ESPN's fifth national championship MegaCast production will be its most comprehensive to date, offering 20 productions of the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday, Jan. 8, at 7:17 p.m. CT from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Fans can watch the traditional telecast on ESPN or choose to sample the alternate productions across 10 additional ESPN platforms: ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, ESPN Classic, ESPN Goal Line, SEC Network, ESPN Deportes, and multiple options on ESPN3. ESPN Radio and ESPN Deportes will also broadcast the game on the radio. The record-setting number of MegaCast productions is up from the 14 offered last year and all 20 are available on the ESPN App.

ESPN will have more than 110 cameras inside the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, including utilizing more than 80 for the College Football Playoff National Championship. ESPN's state-of-the-art production will feature two never-before-used camera angles for a national championship game: First-and-10 marker cam and the Dual SkyCam System.

The first-and-10 cam is a camera inside the first down marker, providing viewers a look at the line to gain. ESPN first utilized the unique camera angle at the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Allstate Sugar Bowl. The Dual SkyCam System uses a second SkyCam, positioned higher than the traditional SkyCam, providing viewers two different vantage points from, typically, behind-the-offense. Both of the SkyCam's individual feeds will be available as part of the MegaCast production.

While the Rose Bowl was playing. I try watching the game that way! I guess I'm old school, I couldn't handle most of the ones talking.
So I guess we will be listening to these guys Monday Night?

i always watch the normal broadcast, but have Eli and Phil on the radio with the tv muted. the radio is always about 7-10 seconds ahead, but i put up with it 'cause i love their broadcast vs anyone else's.

The bottom line for me is that RichRod is not a good coach even without all the drama. Keeping him around is like keeping Marvin Lewis at Cincy. That owner must have a masochist complex. Culturally there are not many places he has proven to be a good fit. The fact his defenses always rank in the 100s was a guarantee he wasn't bringing back "Desert Swarm."

interesting that the radio would be ahead of tv...but the delay is for video control in case they have to cut something out...i guess
