Amazon Wants To Sign \'ManningCast\' Away From ESPN 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Dec 10, 2021 8:55 pm

Amazon is interested in signing the \"ManningCast\" away from ESPN beginning in the 2024 season.

Peyton Manning is contracted to call 10 alternate Monday Night Football telecasts from 2021 until 2023.

ESPN will probably get an exclusive window to renew its deal with the Mannings before Omaha opens talks with other suitors.  The talks are expected to kick off sometime in 2022.  

“Amazon could just come in with a ton of money for the show — plus Amazon Prime content deals for Omaha — then move ManningCast over in two years,” said the source.

Over their first eight games of this season, the brothers have averaged 1.6 million viewers on ESPN2.
