Taking over for ESPN, SportsChannel was offered $51 million over three years, more than double what ESPN had paid ($24 million) for the previous three years. Unfortantely, SportsChannel America was only in a few major markets, and reached only a 1/3 of the households that ESPN did at the time. The when the SportsChannel deal ended in 1992, the league returned to ESPN for another contract that would pay $80 million over five years.
