</header>

An alternate broadcast, also known as an altcast,<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a> is a secondary <a href="Broadcasting_of_sports_events" title="Broadcasting of sports events">broadcast feed of a sporting event</a>. Altcasts are designed to showcase an event from a different perspective, including specialty <a href="Camera_angle" title="Camera angle">camera angles</a>, extended analysis, <a href="Simulcast" title="Simulcast">simulcasts</a> with alternative commentary (including personality-based broadcasts containing entertainment elements, or geared towards specific demographics), and other unconventional formats. These broadcasts are sometimes carried on secondary <a href="Linear_broadcasting" class="mw-redirect" title="Linear broadcasting">linear channels</a> owned by the event's rightsholder, but are more often carried on digital platforms.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

After its launch in 1993, <a href="ESPN" title="ESPN">ESPN</a> experimented with using its new sister channel <a href="ESPN2" title="ESPN2">ESPN2</a> to carry alternative broadcasts of events from the main network, such as carrying a <a href="Championship_Auto_Racing_Teams" title="Championship Auto Racing Teams">CART</a> race entirely from the perspective of in-car cameras in 1994.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> In March 2006, to mark the one-year anniversary of its college sports channel <a href="ESPNU" title="ESPNU">ESPNU</a>, ESPN introduced a format known as "<a href="ESPN_Full_Circle" class="mw-redirect" title="ESPN Full Circle">ESPN Full Circle</a>" during a <a href="Carolina%E2%80%93Duke_rivalry" title="Carolina–Duke rivalry">North Carolina–Duke</a> <a href="ESPN_College_Basketball" title="ESPN College Basketball">college basketball</a> game; ESPN would carry the main telecast, while ESPN2 would carry an "above the rim" camera angle, ESPNU would carry a feed focusing on <a href="Cameron_Crazies" title="Cameron Crazies">Duke's student section</a>, the network's broadband service <a href="ESPN360" class="mw-redirect" title="ESPN360">ESPN360</a> carried a statistics-focused feed, while <a href="ESPN.com" title="ESPN.com">ESPN.com</a> and <a href="Mobile_ESPN" title="Mobile ESPN">Mobile ESPN</a> offered supplemental digital content and interactive features (such as polls and chat rooms).<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> ESPN reported a total viewership of 3.78 million viewers (with 3.5 million on the main ESPN feed), making it the network's most-watched college basketball game since 1990.<a href="#cite_note-:0-4">[4]</a> The <a href="Masters_Tournament" title="Masters Tournament">Masters Tournament</a> in golf would begin experimenting with supplemental <a href="Webcast" title="Webcast">webcasts</a> <a href="2006_Masters_Tournament" title="2006 Masters Tournament">that year</a>, introducing an "Amen Corner Live" broadcast focusing upon <a href="Augusta_National_Golf_Club" title="Augusta National Golf Club">Augusta National</a>'s 11th, 12th, and 13th holes.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a>

ESPN would extend the Full Circle concept to other events, including a <a href="2006_NBA_playoffs" title="2006 NBA playoffs">2006 NBA playoffs</a> opening game between the <a href="Chicago_Bulls" title="Chicago Bulls">Chicago Bulls</a> and <a href="Miami_Heat" title="Miami Heat">Miami Heat</a> in April (which featured most of the aforementioned offerings from the North Carolina–Duke game),<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> and a <a href="Florida%E2%80%93Florida_State_football_rivalry" title="Florida–Florida State football rivalry">Florida–Florida State</a> football game in September—in which a <a href="Split_screen_(video_production)" title="Split screen (video production)">split-screen</a> feed of eight camera angles (including isolated shots of the teams' coaches and starting <a href="Quarterback" title="Quarterback">quarterbacks</a>) was shown on ESPN2, and a <a href="Skycam" title="Skycam">skycam</a> feed aired on ESPNU. The Los Angeles Times reported that the ESPN2 broadcast faced a mixed reaction from viewers, with one considering the split-screen format to be the "stupidest" thing they had seen in a sports broadcast since <a href="Fox_Sports_(United_States)" title="Fox Sports (United States)">Fox</a>'s <a href="FoxTrax" title="FoxTrax">"glowing" hockey puck</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:0-4">[4]</a>

In 2014, ESPN revamped the Full Circle concept for the <a href="2014_BCS_National_Championship_Game" title="2014 BCS National Championship Game">BCS National Championship Game</a> as the "<a href="ESPN_Megacast" title="ESPN Megacast">Megacast</a>", with its networks carrying broadcasts such as "BCS Title Talk" (featuring celebrity guests discussing the game), a "Film Room" broadcast on ESPNU with extended examinations of plays by a panel of analysts, a commentary-free feed on <a href="ESPN_Classic" title="ESPN Classic">ESPN Classic</a>, a "Command Center" with on-screen stats on <a href="ESPN_Goal_Line_%26_Bases_Loaded" title="ESPN Goal Line & Bases Loaded">ESPN Goal Line</a>, and other viewing options on ESPN3 (including simulcasts of the teams' radio networks with additional camera shots focused on their respective players). These offerings would continue into the <a href="College_Football_Playoff" title="College Football Playoff">College Football Playoff</a> era, with other concepts such as special editions of The <a href="Paul_Finebaum" title="Paul Finebaum">Paul Finebaum</a> Show on <a href="SEC_Network" title="SEC Network">SEC Network</a> (particularly when a team from <a href="Southeastern_Conference" title="Southeastern Conference">said conference</a> is participating), and broadcasts with alumni of the opposing teams as analysts.<a href="#cite_note-aa-megacast2016-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-si-megacast16-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-sbnation-megacast-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-sbn-2017megacast-10">[10]</a>

In 2021, ESPN2 began to carry <a href="Manningcast" title="Manningcast">Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli</a> during selected Monday Night Football games, which featured brothers <a href="Peyton_Manning" title="Peyton Manning">Peyton</a> and <a href="Eli_Manning" title="Eli Manning">Eli Manning</a> discussing the game with celebrities and sports personalities. The entertainment-oriented broadcasts proved to be critically successful, and received a <a href="Sports_Emmy_Awards" title="Sports Emmy Awards">Sports Emmy Award</a> for <a href="Outstanding_Live_Sports_Series" title="Outstanding Live Sports Series">Outstanding Live Sports Series</a> in 2022. ESPN would enter into a long-term agreement with the Mannings' <a href="Omaha_Productions" title="Omaha Productions">Omaha Productions</a> to produce altcasts in a similar format for other ESPN sports properties (such as college football broadcasts featuring <a href="Pat_McAfee" title="Pat McAfee">Pat McAfee</a>).<a href="#cite_note-:3-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-:4-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-:5-13">[13]</a> They also influenced similar offerings from networks such as TNT, which in 2024 broadcast a feed of the <a href="NBA_All-Star_Game" title="NBA All-Star Game">NBA All-Star Game</a> featuring <a href="Inside_the_NBA" title="Inside the NBA">Inside the NBA</a> panelist <a href="Charles_Barkley" title="Charles Barkley">Charles Barkley</a> and the <a href="Golden_State_Warriors" title="Golden State Warriors">Golden State Warriors</a>' <a href="Draymond_Green" title="Draymond Green">Draymond Green</a>.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a>

While an altcast may not be necessarily viewed as widely as the main telecast of an event, they can help expand interest in an event among wider <a href="Demography" title="Demography">demographics</a> (such as casual viewers). They have also provided additional sponsorship opportunities, such as altcasts dealing in statistics often being sponsored by technology firms such as <a href="Amazon_Web_Services" title="Amazon Web Services">Amazon Web Services</a> or <a href="Microsoft" title="Microsoft">Microsoft</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:6-15">[15]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Alternate_commentary">Alternate commentary</h3></div>

A common form of altcast are feeds with different <a href="Sports_commentator" title="Sports commentator">commentators</a> to provide supplemental perspectives of an event. Examples of these can include:

<ul><li>Feeds featuring current players or alumni as analysts (such as TNT's "Players Only" NBA telecasts).<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> In some cases (such as ESPN's "Homer Telecast" format), the analysts may be alumni associated with the participating teams.<a href="#cite_note-aa-megacast2016-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-si-megacast16-8">[8]</a></li>

<li>Feeds with coverage specific to the participating teams, such as dedicated commentators and guests closely associated with the team or their region; <a href="TNT_Sports_(United_States)" title="TNT Sports (United States)">Turner Sports</a> used this format for the semi-finals of the <a href="NCAA_March_Madness_(TV_program)" title="NCAA March Madness (TV program)">NCAA men's basketball tournament</a>.<a href="#cite_note-nyt-teamcastcommentators-17">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-cbssports-interview-18">[18]</a> Alternatively, a feed may offer a simulcast of a team's respective radio network in place of the television commentary.<a href="#cite_note-aa-megacast2016-7">[7]</a></li>

<li>Feeds featuring the panel of a studio show or <a href="Podcast" title="Podcast">podcast</a> as commentators.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a></li>

<li>Some altcasts—such as Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli—may be structured as an entertainment-oriented "watch-along", with hosts casually discussing the event with special guests (such as sports personalities and celebrities).<a href="#cite_note-:3-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-:4-12">[12]</a>

<ul><li>In 2018 and 2019, Prime Video partnered with <a href="Funny_or_Die" title="Funny or Die">Funny or Die</a> to present a comedic broadcast of the <a href="Rose_Parade" title="Rose Parade">Rose Parade</a> in <a href="Pasadena%2C_California" title="Pasadena, California">Pasadena, California</a>, starring <a href="Will_Ferrell" title="Will Ferrell">Will Ferrell</a> and <a href="Molly_Shannon" title="Molly Shannon">Molly Shannon</a> as the fictitious local newscasters Cord Hosenbeck and Tish Cattigan. They were joined by fellow <a href="Saturday_Night_Live" title="Saturday Night Live">Saturday Night Live</a> cast member <a href="Tim_Meadows" title="Tim Meadows">Tim Meadows</a> as a reporter.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a><a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a><a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a><a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a></li></ul></li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Statistics_and_analysis">Statistics and analysis</h3></div>

Some altcasts are built around analysis and <a href="Sports_analytics" title="Sports analytics">analytics</a>, including additional graphics with specialized statistics, commentary and analysis based around statistics, and the use of <a href="Augmented_reality" title="Augmented reality">augmented reality</a> graphics to visualize plays and statistics in real-time.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a><a href="#cite_note-:2-28">[28]</a><a href="#cite_note-:5-13">[13]</a> A recurring "Megacast" offering on ESPN's college football coverage was the "Film Room", which featured a panel (usually including coaches and other analysts) performing extended analysis and breakdowns of notable plays (with some plays making use of the wider "all-22" camera angle).<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a><a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a><a href="#cite_note-sbn-2017megacast-10">[10]</a> In 2024, <a href="NBC_Sports" title="NBC Sports">NBC Sports</a> presented an NFL altcast sponsored by the <a href="Madden_NFL" title="Madden NFL">Madden NFL</a> video game franchise, which featured video game-style visualizations of play options and routes, and commentary by <a href="Chad_Johnson" title="Chad Johnson">Chad Johnson</a> and <a href="Kurt_Benkert" title="Kurt Benkert">Kurt Benkert</a> incorporating discussions related to topics such as in-game player ratings.<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Whiparound_and_split-screen_broadcasts">Whiparound and split-screen broadcasts</h3></div>

A "whiparound" show is a format used for broadcasts featuring rolling coverage of multiple, simultaneous sporting events. These broadcasts typically feature real-time highlights, curated views of multiple live games in a <a href="Split_screen_(video_production)" title="Split screen (video production)">split-screen</a> format, and isolated "look-ins" on games where potentially significant events are about to occur (such as when a team has a scoring chance).<a href="#cite_note-TripInside-33">[33]</a>

In some sports leagues, whiparound broadcasts are not necessarily one-off altcasts, but a regular, standalone program that may be a component of a cable network or <a href="Out-of-market_sports_package" title="Out-of-market sports package">out-of-market sports package</a>, such as the <a href="NFL_RedZone" title="NFL RedZone">NFL RedZone</a> channel (which operates on Sunday gamedays in the <a href="National_Football_League" title="National Football League">National Football League</a>),<a href="#cite_note-TripInside-33">[33]</a> MLB Big Inning (which is distributed as part of <a href="MLB.tv" class="mw-redirect" title="MLB.tv">MLB.tv</a> and the <a href="MLB_Network" title="MLB Network">MLB Network</a> over-the-top subscription),<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a><a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> MLS 360 (on <a href="MLS_Season_Pass" title="MLS Season Pass">MLS Season Pass</a>),<a href="#cite_note-SVG-2023-36">[36]</a> CBS Sports' The Golazo Show (<a href="UEFA_Champions_League" title="UEFA Champions League">UEFA Champions League</a> and <a href="UEFA_Europa_League" title="UEFA Europa League">Europa League</a>),<a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a> and ESPN's former <a href="ESPN_Goal_Line_%26_Bases_Loaded" title="ESPN Goal Line & Bases Loaded">Goal Line/Buzzer Beater/Bases Loaded</a> channel (which formerly operated during the college football season, college basketball season, and the <a href="NCAA_Division_I_baseball_tournament" title="NCAA Division I baseball tournament">NCAA Division I baseball</a> and <a href="NCAA_Division_I_softball_tournament" title="NCAA Division I softball tournament">softball</a> tournaments respectively).<a href="#cite_note-thewrap-buzzer-38">[38]</a>

Whiparound feeds have also been used as part of one-off altcasts and special events; NBC has offered the Gold Zone for its coverage of the <a href="Olympic_Games" title="Olympic Games">Olympic Games</a> on <a href="Peacock_(streaming_service)" title="Peacock (streaming service)">Peacock</a>,<a href="#cite_note-auto1-39">[39]</a> while ESPN has televised occasional whiparound specials such as MLB Squeeze Play (which is broadcast during the <a href="Wild_Card_Series" title="Wild Card Series">Wild Card Series</a>,<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a> and aired several Wednesday-night editions in 2024 to cover the final weeks of the regular season),<a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a> and NHL Frozen Frenzy—an event held since 2023 where all <a href="National_Hockey_League" title="National Hockey League">National Hockey League</a> teams play games with staggered start times, ESPN airs a national tripleheader, and ESPN2 and ESPN+ airs a whiparound feed of all games in progress.<a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a><a href="#cite_note-auto1-39">[39]</a><a href="#cite_note-auto-43">[43]</a> Since 2008, ESPN has broadcast feeds of the <a href="NCAA_Division_I_Men's_Wrestling_Championships" title="NCAA Division I Men's Wrestling Championships">NCAA Division I Men's Wrestling Championships</a> with a similar split-screen format, with the early rounds offering a "quad-box" view of four simultaneous matches, and isolated coverage of individual matches available via streaming.<a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a><a href="#cite_note-auto-43">[43]</a> In October 2021, <a href="Fox_Sports_1" title="Fox Sports 1">Fox Sports 1</a> aired a whiparound broadcast of six simultaneous <a href="Big_East_Conference" title="Big East Conference">Big East</a> basketball games as part of the opening night of college basketball season.<a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a><a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a>
