ESPN (Entertainment and Sports Programming Network) was founded in the late 1970s by Bill Rasmussen, his son Scott and Ed Eagan (How it all started). It was designed as the first and only 24-hour sports cable channel that serves millions of households in the United States. The company headquarters are established in Bristol, Connecticut. ESP Network was officially launched on September 7, 1979, and SportsCenter was its flagship program. At the very beginning the broadcasting was on a limited-time basis which evolved in a 24/7 coverage the following year. As of today, ESPN expanded as the Worldwide Leader in Sports, launching other networks such as ESPNU (for collegiate sporting events), ESPNews, ESPN Plus, ESPN on ABC, ESPN UK, ESPN America and their official website: ESPN.com, reaching more than 100 million US households and delivering in many languages to countless countries around the world.
