If you were mourning the loss of Sprint’s NFL contract, fret not, as they’ve signed a new sports entity that’s bound to appeal to more sports fans: ESPN. So while folks on Verizon may soon be enjoying all that the NFL has to offer, Sprint subscribers can now fire up the Sprint TV app and start watching the new ESPN Mobile TV channel. In just the next two months ESPN Mobile TV will be broadcasting 23 men’s NCAA basketball games, 19 women’s NCAA basketball championship games, 9 NBA playoff games, 10 regular season MLB games, and plenty of ESPN-exclusive news and reviews content – all live.
And that’s just through the end of April. 2010 will bring more than 800 sporting events to Sprint TV subscribers (which is anybody with a Pre or Pixi on Sprint), including the 2010 FIFA World Cup, college football, MLB, NBA, Grand Slam tennis, and more.
