US Open and Mosconi coming to ESPN
- Thread starter skor
- Start date
"Fans across the US will be able to watch every session streaming live on ESPN+ on the ESPN App on mobile and connected TV devices, as well as on WNT TV."
Still a big deal.
Interesting. I've long thought the Mosconi was made for TV and ESPN. Of all pool events, it's the one to most attract some casual fans or even nonfans. Just the rowdiness and nationalistic aspect of it.
What would be great if is ESPN carried the first team match of the Mosconi on its main station of ESPN2. Just an hour of it.
In any case, this is good news, even if it's ESPN Plus. Though I subscribe to WNT.TV, I will watch via the ESPN app.

i get that sky sports or ESPN can still generate some income, but that demographic is getting old. in medium to long term they're probably better of focusing on streaming and social media
Maybe they are focusing on fishing bigger sponsors
ESPN still has 60 million subscribers in the US. Its ESPN Plus service has 25 million reportedly. And tens of millions more access ESPN in some manner or another each year.
If there is one broadcast station young people, especially men, still watch at times, it's ESPN.
Matchroom should focus on streaming and social media, of course, but ESPN+ is a major form of streaming. Better to have ESPN in your stable than not, in my view.
