Hanson confirmed that ESPN, after acquiring NFL Network and digital assets in January, intends to keep NFL RedZone largely unchanged as it enters its 18th season this fall.
He emphasized that any minor adjustments will aim to enhance the viewer experience, assuring fans that no 'massive' changes are expected for the upcoming season.
While ESPN will distribute NFL RedZone, the NFL retains ownership and production, and ESPN now holds rights to the RedZone brand, potentially expanding the format to other sports in the future.
