ESPN History
Founded by Scott Rasmussen and Bill Rasmussen as the first cable television network devoted solely to sports, ESPN aired its first program, SportsCenter, on September 7, 1979. In 1985, Capital Cities Communications purchased ABC and ESPN in separate deals, then sold the properties to The Walt Disney Company in 1996. In 2006, ABC Sports, which had existed for 45 years, was integrated into ESPN, so now all ABC sports related programming appears as "ESPN on ABC".
On November 18, 2008, ESPN and the BCS announced that the Bowl championship series games would be televised on ESPN starting in 2011 and lasting through the 2014 season. The deal includes the Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Sugar Bowl and the BCS title game. ESPN has exclusive television, radio and digital rights.http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/ESPN-Inc-Company-History.html -

This was put together by a viewer with what he believes to be the best of ''Sportscenter'' commercials of all time. He has chosen ones like the Y2K commercial where they state that they are making sure the station is set up for the coming of 2000 but instead of passing the test they do they fail when all the lights go out.
