ABC to broadcast all three days of the NFL Draft as Fox drops out

SportsBusiness Daily

ABC is joining sister network ESPN in covering the NFL Draft. While the ESPN broadcast will focus on the NFL aspect of the draft, ABC will revolve around college football with the ESPN College GameDay crew of Rece Davis, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard. Earlier this year, Fox and ABC became the first two broadcast networks to show the NFL Draft, with Fox showing the first two days and ABC airing the final day. According to Sports Business Daily, "ABC will focus on the personalities and backstories of the draft picks, incorporating live musical acts into its coverage. Meanwhile, ESPN and NFL Network’s coverage will be more football-centric."
