ESPN is planning to bring a whole new meaning to "live stream" and "pregame coverage" with their self-proclaimed BCS National Championship "megacast."

On Jan. 6, the day the Auburn Tigers (2) play the Florida State Seminoles (1) for the crystal football, ESPN will devote six of its TV channels to become a totally-immersed experience for viewers of college football's biggest game.

According to a press release, the sports network's main channel will be the centerpiece, airing the game at 8:30 p.m. and official pregame show at 8. The other channels will act as supplementary components to the watching experience. With the WatchESPN app and ESPN3.com live streaming website, viewers will be able to watch the game from a plethora of different angles.

Here are the five other channels and what they will offer on the day of the game.

  • ESPN 2 will air "BCS Title Talk" which will follow a "College Football GameDay" structure. Analysts will be joined by players coaches and celebrities to discuss the game and viewers will also have the chance to make their thoughts hear by commenting on social media platforms as well.
  • ESPN News will air "BCS Film Room" which will show coaches and analysts making film-room-type analyses in real time during the game.
  • ESPN Classic will present "Sounds of the BCS," a program void of commentary and meant to focus simply on the sounds of the game. It will benefit from tiny microphones placed around the stadium.
  • ESPN Goal Line will give the viewer a split-screen view of game action and will feature frequent replays, in-game stat updates and ESPN radio broadcast.
  • ESPN 3, the online streaming component, will bring the viewer radio broadcasts from both Auburn's and Florida State's booth, live fan reactions from both teams' home markets and a "Spider Cam" that will show the stadium from above.

Thanks to the WatchESPN app, viewers will be able to put the game on their TV on ESPN, open ESPN 3 on their laptop and choose from various real time analysis shows to play on their tablet or smartphone.

ESPN's main channel is the centerpiece of the megacast. Norby Williamson, ESPN's executive vice president, programming, told USA Today that Brent Musburger and Kirk Herbstreit's call of the game is the network's primary concern come game night.

"The one thing you need to make sure is, you've got to make sure you block and tackle - no pun intended - on the game," Williamson said. "The game on ESPN is by far, by far the most important execution. We have to make sure that nothing gets in the way of doing the greatest possible show on ESPN. We're all very confident that we have that priority first and foremost, and that we'll protect that."
