Who will have radio play-by-play?

So, as of December 2012, I know that certain networks have the rights to certain games and events. Will that change for 2013?

ESPN Radio---MLB, NBA, B.C.S. U.S. Open (golf)

Dial Global---NFL (Regular season, Playoffs, and exclusive for Superbowl)

Will NBC and or CBS negotiate a deal for any other games or events?

NBC for NHL (if they ever return)?

Doubtful on the changes. As a broadcaster (and former ESPN Radio affiliate PD) I hope NBC (which DG handles and could put any of its former WW1 properties on it) doesn't force feed games down affiliates throats. ESPN didn't start charging to be an affiliate until they started feeding their games on their main channel in place of regular sports talk programming. Let the affiliates have the option of what they carry, let the sports talk be the fill.

ESPN also has college football and most bowl games and slate of college basketball. NFL also has contracts with Compass Media & Sports USA Radio & Dial-Global also has Olympics, college basketball and regular season college football.

I doubt NHL returns to the national radio landscape any time soon, they haven't had a national contract since (I think) the 07/08 season with WW1.
