Media Notes

Fox News' Bill O'Reilly will interview President-elect Trump during Fox' Super Bowl pregame show, with the Q&A to "take place place at the White House" and air around 4:00pm ET. O'Reilly also interviewed President Obama during Fox' coverage of the Super Bowl in '11 and '14 (POLITICO.com, 1/17). The interview will be "recorded at the White House earlier that Sunday," covering an "array of topics" (THEHILL.com, 1/17).

TO THE AIRWAVES: Former USMNT F Herculez Gomez has joined ESPN as a studio analyst for its English and Spanish-language networks. Gomez primarily will appear on "ESPN FC" and will serve as a studio analyst for the net's coverage of MLS, USMNT and other international soccer competitions. Meanwhile, Minnesota United formally announced the broadcast booth for their inaugural season: Play-by-play announcer Callum Williams will be joined by analyst Kyndra de St. Aubin and sideline reporter Jamie Watson (THE DAILY).

BRING IT ON BACK: EA last week announced that it is "bringing its FIFA series" to the new Nintendo Switch game console. POLYGON's Samit Sarkar noted a "sizzle reel of upcoming games briefly showed a logo for 2K Sports’ NBA 2K18." 2K Sports said that a Switch version of "NBA 2K" will be "released this September." Sarkar wrote the Nintendo Switch's lineup for '17 is "promising so far, but perhaps not encouraging -- and that includes the initial sports gaming support for the hybrid console" (POLYGON.com, 1/13).

FOR YOUR USE: MLL has partnered with Immersion Media for its '17 MLL season. The company's ScoreShots tool will provide the league with visual infographics for use across its social media platforms and MajorLeagueLacrosse.com (MLL).
