ESPN Was The First Of Its Kind
Before ESPN, there is only limited ways to know things about your favorite sports team on TV.
Else you would have to chase these news on the good ol newspapers.
TVs broadcast either a competition result or small snippet of a sporting event, and that was all.
Not much meat to sports on TV.
But the emergence of the sports network changed TV sports programming, even proved that there is an actual audience that craves sports all day, from team formation to post-match analysis.
Hiring Equally Enthusiastic Sports Anchors
Charismatic sports anchors is also an important ingredient in ESPN's success. They know their games, delivers their message in a charming and fun way, and captured audience's hearts.
The diverse cast, each playing to their own element, gave us information and entertainment we needed outside of sports, and even kept us interested in sports we don't normally watch.
Broadcasting Rights That The World Is Interest In
ESPN also happens to have broadcasting rights to major US sports events like the NFL and NBA.
These high quality tournaments garnered a worldwide audience over a period of time, which makes it the best option to watch sports for most people.
Great entertainment For People Who Crave Sports All Day
People who live for sports content on television or intend to stream only sports content love ESPN.
No disruptions and nothing unnecessary, this channel is perfect for people who just binge watch sports content for entertainment.
Pubs and bars love these kinds of channels, for they can broadcast them to their patrons without having to worry about switching channels for the rest of the day.
