ESPN Adds The AFL

(From Cynopsis)

ESPN signs a 5-year agreement with THE ARENA FOOTBALL LEAGUE (AFL) that will begin with the 2007 season, a change as NBC has been the league's carrier for the past three years.

As part of the deal, 17 regular season and 9 postseason games will air on ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC.

ESPN2 will carry Monday primetime games from March 12th through June 25th.

ESPN also picked up a minority AFL ownership stake in the league and national broadcast rights for an undisclosed amount.
