What happens

World Cup Live was a soccer related news and analysis program that aired on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC every four years during the FIFA World Cup. Lead commentators and specialists dissect worldwide matches both through a live feed and after they have already been played. World Cup Live was created for the 2006 World Cup and continued through the 2010 World Cup. It planned to broadcast the upcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup as ESPN has English-language rights. As for anchors, SportsCenter hosts Dave Revsine and Rece Davis worked with ESPN while Brent Musburger hosted the ABC airings. Advertisements are not shown, as the play does not stop for two forty-five-minute halves, other than a halftime report, during which commercials are aired. Logos are shown on the screen during broadcasting throughout the game, and advertisements from sponsors can be seen before and after the game. Both pregame and post-game segments are included with a large number of games if time between matches permits, and are always aired for USMNT games. World Cup Live has kept this basic format over the past couple of tournaments and plans on continuing for the 2014 World Cup. The show ended after the 2014 FIFA World Cup when Fox Sports acquired the World Cup rights beginning with the 2018 tournament. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
