About ESPN
ESPN (along with the USA Network) was among the earliest cable-based broadcast partners for the National Basketball Association (NBA). Lasting from 1982 to 1984, the network’s relationship with the association marked its initial foray into American professional sports. After an 18 year hiatus, ESPN (by then, under the auspices of the ABC network), secured a $2.4 billion, six-year broadcast contract with the NBA, thereby revitalizing its historic compact with U.S. professional basketball.
In 1983, The United States Football League (USFL) made its debut on ESPN and ABC. The league (which lasted for three seasons) enjoyed ephemeral success, some portion of which was a byproduct of the exposure afforded through ESPN coverage.
On July 15, 1985, ESPN started airing the “ESPN Sports Update” (later known as “28/58″), a condensed run-down of scores and news that aired at 28 and 58 minutes past the hour, when SportsCenter was not airing. This was changed to 18/58 on May 30, 2005.
In 1987, ESPN gained partial rights to the National Football League. The league agreed to the deal as long as ESPN agreed to simulcast the games on local television stations in the participating markets. ESPN Sunday Night Football would last for 19 years and spur ESPN’s rise to legitimacy. In the 2006 NFL season, ESPN began airing Monday Night Football, formerly seen on its sister network ABC. (NBC took over the Sunday night game, which replaced the Monday night contest as the league’s weekly centerpiece game) Former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue credits ESPN for revolutionizing the NFL, “ESPN was able to take the draft, the pregame and highlight shows, and other NFL programming to a new level.”
In 1990, ESPN added Major League Baseball to its lineup with a $400 million contract. The contract has been renewed and will continue through 2011. Jon Miller and Joe Morgan are the longtime voices of the network’s centerpiece Sunday Night Baseball. Steve Phillips joined the package in 2009, but Phillips was later dismissed by the network in October 2009.
ESPN broadcast each of the four major professional sports leagues in North America from 2002 until 2004, when it cut ties with the National Hockey League. The network had aired NHL games from 1983–86 and again since 1993. ESPN has been broadcasting Major League Soccer games about once a week on ESPN2 since that league’s inception in 1996. In most years, the annual All-Star Game and MLS Cup championship game, and in some years, the Opening Night game, are shown on ABC broadcast stations.
With the increasing cost of live sports entertainment, such as the USD$8.8 billion costs for NFL football broadcasts rights for eight years, “scripted entertainment has become a luxury item for ESPN,” said David Carter, director of the Sports Business Institute at the University of Southern California.
ESPN broadcasts 65 sports, 24 hours a day in 15 languages in more than 150 countries.
