FCS Championship latest event to move to ABC
ABC will televise the NCAA FCS National Championship this year, marking the first time the event has aired on over-the-air television since 1994, The Dickinson Press reported last week. The game will air January 11 in its usual Noon ET timeslot.
ESPN2 has aired the game in recent years, with last year’s audience of 1.00 million viewers the smallest since at least 2012.
After years of starving ABC of sporting events, ESPN is beefing up its broadcast sibling’s lineup. In addition to the FCS title game, ABC will air college basketball games for the first time in years this season. The network has also simulcast ESPN’s annual NFL Wild Card, Pro Bowl and NFL Draft coverage. [Dickinson Press 11.7]
