    Are the NFL & ESPN about to merge? After firing Michael Irvin, James Palmer, Andrew Siciliano, Melissa Stark & Will Selva we have some clarity as to why this may have happened. Instead of competing with ESPn the NFL Network may join. Pat McAfee, Peyton & Eli manning, Bill Belichick all part of the possible new ESPN-NFL Media arm. #espn #breakingnflnews

      You're half right regarding ESPN but it's not just Disney that owns the channel 20% has Hearst for the owner. Yes Hearst is the silent partner of the two but just don't forget that Disney isn't the only one involved with the channel. The only way that happens is if Hearst sells the 20% to Disney.

    Another significant difference is the interactive aspect of platform productions. We fans feel ourselves to be a part of/an essential extension to these successful multi-platform shows and YT Channels because we can Comment & Chat. We actively engage with the shows. And, unlike old-fashioned call-in shows, we can engage with other viewers simultaneously. Rather than merely being passive mannequins listening to talking heads, we feel as if we, too, make a difference to the overall experience. The hundreds of NFL fan-based YT channels testify to this. Moreover, the $ given by individuals to support their fav shows testifies to this. This makes even the lowliest fan feel involved. One Pride!
