This is an autopilot thought but it’s worth writing again: When ESPN avoids its Baylessian tendencies and channels its assets into smart editorial and programming, it’s an unmatched force in sports television. On Monday night we saw the company at its very best with its Megacast broadcast for college football’s title game. It’s a massive undertaking, and once again it was superbly done. ESPN offered more than 14 alternative broadcasts for Clemson’s thrilling 35–31 win across multiple platforms, including presentations on ESPN2, SEC Network, ESPNU, ESPNews, ESPN Classic, ESPN Goal Line and variations on ESPN3. Think of the producers, operations, audio, graphics and all the behind the scenes people working to make this production successful.
