ESPN: the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network
Launched on September 07, 1979, The Worldwide Leader in Sports, ESPN (Entertainment and Sports Programming Network), is a popular television cable network in the United States that broadcasts and produces sports-related events on a 24-hour basis. Founded by the father and son team of Scott and Bill Rasmussen, ESPN is now a joint venture of Hearst Corporation and The Walt Disney Company.
Last August 12, after an almost 3-month long hiatus, ESPN’s one-hour news magazine, E:60, returned to its primetime slot. ESPN’s veteran journalists, Tom Farrey, Rachel Nichols, Lisa Salters, Jeremy Schaap and Michael Smith, gave viewers fresh updates, news, and stories about sports and other sports-related issues.
The show’s 1st episode featured a profile of Dara Torres and her bid for her 5th Olympic team. A report on New England Patriots’ Randy Moss was done by Rachel Nichols while ESPN The Magazine’s Shaun Assael delivered the interesting story of imprisoned mix martial arts fighter, Lee Murray.
Finally, correspondent Jeremy Schaap gave the viewers substantial information about a new Olympic sport called Eventing.
E:60, which had its debut on October 15, 2007, took a scheduled break last May 13, 2008. The new E:60 will run until November 11, with 14 episodes all in all.
