[edit] Happy 25th, ESPN!!
While it is still 9/7/04 in the eastern United States, I would like to wish the Worldwide Leader in Sports a happy 25th anniversary and many more. JB82 22:04, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] ESPN IN LATIN AMERICA
ESPN has been broadcasting in Spanish for Latin America since mid 90's Don't know if the name was "ESPN Deportes" since then, but it's a fact that the is the same channel.. and it is not from 2004, it must have been here for 15 Years... I will investigate and correct the information...
Look in the espn media kit and click on espn deportes and it says launched on january 4, 2004.
[edit] New Addition
I added some shows that personalities are famous for being on. As you can see the list is incomplete: help me complete it.ChicosBailBonds
[edit] Where to add Jayski's Silly Season Site?
On that site today (www.jayski.com), one of the highlights was that ESPN has now bought the site (it is a link on the front page). Where should it be categorized? AEMoreira042281 01:44, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Personalities
Can we include a section on the years they were at the network
How about instead of this, make it a seperate page?
I have added a bunch of names and more are on the way and with all these names i think its best to dividde the names by every 4 letters.
[edit] Events
I moved the "Events" section to a different page because it is going to end up getting to long, just look at the "See Also" part and it will have a link.
[edit] Attribution/AfD results
Material with respect to the ESPN forums was merged into this page per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ESPN forums. Edit history for that material can be found in that redirect's history. BD2412 T 18:16, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Huh?
What's with the Mr. Belvadere stuff on here?
And what about the chair-throwing indicent that happened at the ESPN sports studios in 1979, when the network was just beginning. I was not born to have seen that. If ESPN could have broadcast that indicent for only 1:22.

[edit] Can we include some of the shows that are or were on ESPN
like stump the shump, etc. GrandWizard 08:05, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Logo
- I somehow assume that ESPN started using their currrent logo in 1984. Is this true? WizardDuck 17:11, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
No, they started using their current logo circa 2002. Their previous known logos were of their current logo inside an oval-like thing and before that it's unknown. Here is an example of their previous logo [1] 71.99.83.251 22:54, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Criticism page
There should be a criticism page. ESPN gets criticised all the time. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.86.122.109 (talk) 19:55, 6 January 2007 (UTC).
- Good idea, but with differing opinions, this could become very POV. Any criticism would have to be sourced, and not just some one's opinion.24.158.102.32 17:12, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
The things that ESPN usually gets criticised are the catch phrases, extensive football coverage, red sox/yankees bias, ACC bias. there are articles over the internet with them.
- This might be true, but currently there are NO sources and it comes off as very POV —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Carl Von Clausewitz (talk • contribs) 08:40, 17 March 2007 (UTC).
Oh, by the way, YOU NEED TO SIGN YOUR COMMENTS. But anyway, I could probably find a few sources for criticism. And I don't mean to bore you, but I'm HIGHLY critical of the network's bias. 71.99.83.251 22:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Executives
I find it odd that a list of executives is being required to be verified by a source. Maybe whoever added the tag should actually go to ESPN.com or the Disney company site and look it up. - Desmond Hobson 21:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] criticism section
I noticed that an anon. user deleted my comments regarding Big Ten bias in college football. Was this because that user disagrees or because the comment was unsourced. I could find a source if necessary, but I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this. havardj
[edit] ESPN Significant programming rights -- Little League World Series
I noted that ESPN2 first broadcast the Little League World Series in 1997 (ABC first broadcast in 1963, but that doesn't count). If anyone knows when the LLWS got from ESPN2 to ESPN, that would be a useful contribution to the article. Baileypalblue 22:44, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] the ESPN joke in Mean Girls
why isn't the bit in Mean Girls refernced in this page. the bit featured Cady Heron (played by Lindsay Lohan) talks to Karen Smith (played by Amanda Seyfried) which at this scene they made an ESP/ESPN joke. why isn't that mentioned on here.
