Why is the CFB National Championship on ESPN not ABC?
The CFB National Championship is broadcasted on ESPN rather than ABC due to a contract agreement. ESPN secured exclusive broadcasting rights for the event, which means they have sole permission to air it. This deal is part of ESPN's strategy to attract more viewers and subscribers to their platform. While ABC is a free-to-air channel, ESPN is a paid subscription service, providing them with an additional revenue stream. So, the decision was more about business strategy than anything else.
