The Launch of ESPN September 7, 1979

If they made a new spin off channel that was completely old school… just games and highlight in basic studios… no yelling… no screaming… no punters in tank tops… I’d watch

A great network with way too many biases that drive every program.

& what has happened to this wonderful network. Some 47 year later... Woof!🤪

'And in about 20 yrs we'll start having a bunch of corporate idiots ruin everything that was great about this network.'

Once a game changer for those who had antennas & switched to cable or satellite📡 Unfortunately consumed competition & forgotten are areas of need, “classic” game channel, no overlapping reruns now dominating it’s platforms Everyone has a device to check scores, watch highlights

It was glorious

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@LanceMcAlister The day that changed my life! APSPL Championship

And the rest is history.

I was a 12-year-old sports nut thinking there weren’t enough other people like me for this 24-hour sports network to be feasible.
