AFTER 22 years at NBC, Bob Costas could be going to Disney World this summer.

Costas, whose NBC Sports contract expires in June, has reportedly been in early talks with ABC and ESPN – both owned by the Walt Disney Company, according to a report in this week’s TV Guide.

The logic behind the talks is that after the Olympics, there’s not much work at NBC Sports that Costas would be interested in anymore.

But ABC and ESPN’s potent combination of the NFL, NCAA basketball and Major League Baseball may be just enough to entice the 49-year-old to jump ship.

He would also stand a good chance of getting a bump on his NBC salary, which is currently reported to be about $3 million a year.

Costas could not be reached for comment yesterday and NBC officials declined to comment.
