Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest Streams Live on ESPN3, Airs on Delay on ESPN

by , under ESPN

The annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest which has become a 4th of July staple on ESPN will be back again this year. But it’ll actually be on delay this year. Because ESPN is airing Wimbledon live on Wednesday, the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating will be streamed live at noon ET on ESPN3 for those wanting to watch the gluttony. Then immediately following Wimbledon coverage around 3 p.m. ET or so, ESPN will air the event on tape delay.

Paul Page, Major League Eating’s Richard Shea and Renée Herlocker will cover the event like no one else can.

Here’s the ESPN blurb on the Hot Dog Eating Contest for you in black and white.

Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest Returns July 4

The world famous Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest from Coney Island, N.Y., will air live on Wednesday, July 4, at 12 p.m. on ESPN3, and on delay at 3 p.m. on ESPN (following ESPN’s exclusive live coverage of the Wimbledon Gentlemen’s Quarterfinals). Originally scheduled for a 3 p.m. start, the contest was moved up to a noon start time to accommodate the large crowd of spectators expected to attend.

The presentation will include in-depth analysis of the eating competition by motorsports broadcaster Paul Page and Major League Eating’s Richard Shea, with reporting by television host Renee Herlocker. The one-hour show will also include coverage of the Women’s Championship. This year marks the ninth consecutive year ESPN has televised the event.

There you have it.
