I remember Premier Sports officially announced they secured the UK broadcast rights to ESPN Friday Fight Night earlier this year. About 2 weeks later it was confirmed the deal was off. Why was the deal off? Well apparently Premier Sports went directly to ESPN in America and secured the rights to shows Friday Fight Night exclusively live in the UK at 3:00am. About 2 days later ESPN in the UK confirmed the show would still be shown by them in the UK but not live. They would continue to broadcast the show at either 7:00am or 8:00am, just hours after the live broadcast on Premier Sports.
Let's wait and see what happens with this NHL deal.
