ESPN2 Offers Preview of ESPN Goal Line Service on Saturday

On Saturday, ESPN2 will offer its Goal Line channel to all of America. Currently, ESPN Goal Line has been offered to Time Warner Cable and Verizon Fios TV subscribers. It quietly launched just before college football season and is similar to the NFL Red Zone services on DirecTV and NFL Network. Now, ESPN2 will provide Goal Line starting at 3:30 p.m. East and go until 6 before turning to other programming. It’s a taste for you.

Here’s the blurb.

ESPN2 to Offer Preview of ESPN Goal Line This Saturday, October 30

This Saturday, October 30, from 3:30 – 6 p.m. ET, ESPN2 will offer a special preview of ESPN Goal Line. ESPN Goal Line is a new network featuring unlimited live cut-ins and highlights from numerous top college football games every Saturday of the college football season, plus up-to-the-minute commentary from ESPN analysts and experts. The channel is currently available to customers who receive the required level of service from Time Warner Cable, Bright House Networks and Verizon, but the simulcast will allow all fans who receive ESPN2 to experience Goal Line. ESPNEWS anchor Anish Shroff hosts the day-long coverage with college football game and studio analyst Rod Gilmore.   

Games featured on ESPN Goal Line include those airing on ESPN’s multiple platforms, as well as syndicated and locally-produced games from various Football Bowl Subdivision conferences, capturing the best live action of the day.

For the 2010 season, the ESPN Goal Line programming will be weekends only, starting Saturdays at Noon until games are complete, around 11:30 p.m. A similar service called Buzzer Beater is planned in time for college basketball season.

That is it.
