The Trifecta

The Trifecta

"The Trifecta" was a one-hour programming block on ESPN of three twenty-minute sports news and information shows.

Format

The block, which originally consisted of "Outside the Lines Nightly" and two sport-specific programs, aired from April 5, 2005, to late in 2006 between midnight and 1 a.m. Eastern time. Occasionally "SportsCenter" will cut into twenty minutes of "The Trifecta" due to programming changes.

Depending on the sport, the following programs aired to round out The Trifecta: "Baseball Tonight", "NFL Live", "College GameNight", and "NBA Fastbreak". During the 2006 FIFA World Cup, "World Cup Live", a nightly update of that soccer tournament, took up part of this block.

Cancellation

On July 24, 2006, "Outside the Lines Nightly" was moved to a daytime slot and renamed "Outside the Lines First Edition". In the fall of 2006, ESPN quietly canceled "The Trifecta". As of July 2007, the hour has been taken up by a 40-minute version of "Baseball Tonight" and a re-air of "NFL Live" that has been edited down to 20 minutes.
