TNT Secures Rights to Air College Football Playoff Games from ESPN

TNT Sports has secured a five-year sub-licensing deal with ESPN to broadcast College Football Playoff games, starting this season. The agreement includes two first-round games for the first two years and expands to include two quarterfinals in the following three years. The games will be produced by ESPN but branded as TNT Sports. This deal is separate from TNT's ongoing negotiations with the NBA. ESPN retains the majority of CFP rights under its $7.8 billion agreement.
