The Television Sports Spice Rack

(From The USA Today -- By Michael Hiestand)

ESPN passed on a one-year, $60 million extension of its NHL deal. But ESPN/ABC Sports President GEORGE BODENHEIMER says, "We're still willing to talk to them. There's a drop-dead date, but it's not looming."

Amid declining broadcast network sports ratings in recent months,
FOX SPORTS is UP on baseball (23%) and NASCAR (5%).

NBA TV, the league's channel, has a new REVERSAL CAM for postgame news conferences. It points back, from podiums, at reporters, so viewers get great fashion tips.
