ESPN Spells Out Expanded Strategy

(From The USA Today -- By Michael Hiestand)

ESPN fired back Wednesday in elaborating on a strategy that combines tonnage, across its programming lineup, with novelty in a three-man broadcast booth.

ESPN/ESPN2 will send a variety of its shows, including SPORTSCENTER, MIKE AND MIKE IN THE MORNING,
COLD PIZZA
and PARDON THE INTERRUPTION, to the Monday night host city -- meant to provide unprecedented hype for prime-time matchups.

Says ESPN Vice President NORBY WILLIAMSON -- "When it comes to those towns, it's going to be like a mini-SUPER BOWL each week."
