If this new show turns into a straight "strictly highlights" deal I would be much more interested in that.

I see from your post that they don't have many league rights though, so I do hope they can at least get the rights for footage from the big 4 sports leagues in America, as those are the ones I'm most interested in.

They have highlight rights, just not game rights. Right now, the show works because there isn't much going on in the sports world. But fast forward to early September-pennant races, NFL, college football, US Open tennis. Will be interesting to see how they create just a 20 minute show out of that
