ESPN and SEC Strike a Monster Deal

ESPN Regional Television, the new over-the-air syndication home for Southeastern Conference programming, and the SEC announced on Tuesday a regionally-syndicated college sports package that will air in more than 73 television markets, along with the branding of the syndication package as the SEC Network – all part of the groundbreaking 15-year agreement between ESPN, Inc., and the SEC.

So what does this mean?

Within the 9 state footprint of the SEC network, it would air on the over-the-air stations of the SEC event. In areas that don’t fall inside the SEC “footprint”, it would air on air on local, over the air TV stations or regionial sports networks.

“As ESPN moves forward in this landmark agreement with the SEC, ESPN Regional Television is thrilled to provide our viewers with a consistent window for Southeastern Conference football and basketball,” said Pete Derzis, senior vice president & general manager, ESPN Regional Television. “With ESPN’s multimedia platforms, we anticipate SEC sports will touch an unprecedented base of college fans nationwide.”

The deal is set to start in the 2009 – 10 season for 15 years.

“The SEC Network, through the efforts of ESPN, will be the largest college sports syndication television package in the country,” SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said. “The comprehensive market coverage in the nine-state SEC area combined with the out-of-market reach gives us significant additional exposure for our programs.”
