“This caps a series of comprehensive 'new world' agreements, clearly demonstrating that ESPN and Major League Baseball share the same vision - to serve fans through the highest quality content and cutting edge technology. Today, we have significantly enhanced the value of our summer cornerstone television programming with increased team appearances on Sunday nights, exclusive blackout lift rights on Monday nights and more game and studio flexibility to showcase the great sport of baseball like no other media company.”
“This telethon, the NFL, our people, our media assets across Disney -- are all coming together to rebuild for those who have lost so much. It's great football, and more important, it's helping people.”
“You look at the body of work that has been completed here over 36 years: the great games, the stars, the story lines, the part of Americana that 'Monday Night Football' is, it's really a magnificent piece of work.”
