Verizon Enters Internet TV Pacts with ESPN, CBS Sports

Variety: Verizon, gearing up to launch a wireless Internet TV service later in 2015, has announced a series of deals for college-sports programming with ESPN, CBS Sports and others — indicating, perhaps, that the telco considered full sports networks too pricey for the millennial-targeted offering. The deals, which Verizon also reached with ACC Digital Network, Campus Insiders and Time Inc.-backed 120 Sports, will bring a range of live and on-demand content, including select college football and basketball games.
