ESPN iOS App Now Lets Users Stream Shows On Demand

[MacRumors]

ESPN yesterday announced an update to its iOS app that will let users stream their favorite sports shows on demand from their mobile device.

Previously, users of the ESPN app were out of luck if they missed the live video streams of popular shows such as Around the Horn and Pardon the Interruption. But that's set to change, according to the channel's latest press release.

"Our mission at ESPN is to serve sports fans, and now more than ever, they expect to stream their favorite shows on the device and time of day they prefer," ESPN vice president of digital media programming John Lasker said. "With today's launch, fans can now access an array of ESPN's most popular, award-winning shows - with more to come in the near future - anytime, anywhere."

Full episodes of select studio shows are now available to stream on demand under "Latest Episodes" within the Watch tab on the ESPN App. The shows will be accessible shortly after the conclusion of their live on-air telecasts. The full list includes:
[*]Around the Horn (weekdays at 5 p.m. ET)
[*]College GameDay Built by the Home Depot (Saturdays at 9 a.m. ET)
[*]College Football Countdown (most Thursdays at 7 p.m. ET)

[*]Thinking Out Loud (Mondays at 7 p.m. ET on SEC Network).
The studio shows add to the ESPN app's expanded offering of long-form VOD content that includes 30 for 30 films, E:60, Outside the Lines and SC Featured episodes. The ESPN app is a free download available for iPhone and iPad on the App Store. [Direct Link]

Outside The Lines (about sports ethics) is missing. Ugh.

 

[geenosr]

I want Highly Questionable with Dan L added to the list also. Clearly my favorite of all their afternoon lineup.

 

[JeffyTheQuik]

I want the newest in politics, and ESPN is the place for that!

 

[IPPlanMan]

This new political show lineup is great! I hate watching shows about sports.

Does ESPN do sports or are they kinda like CNN & MSNBC?

I'm sure they have some good shows, but the business practices of the Mouse are not really focused on the consumer. If you put this stuff on Amazon or Netflix I might look at it. If its really that good it might give me a reason to seek it out when the World Wide Walt launches.

Kind of like the MTV of Sports.

Soon, all they'll have are reality shows of people that once played junior varsity croquet on 'Where are they Now?'

 

[clemsontiger]

sweet, in depth analysis of which NFL players have been kneeling and which ones haven't, on demand!

 

[Blizzardman]

I really wish they still kept Baseball Tonight around nightly and I could stream that on-demand .

I guess this is cool. Would have been much more exciting if it was updated for tvOS and not just iOS, unless I missed that part.
