What does ESPN stand for?

"When ESPN begun in 1979 we were the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network (in this manner, ESPN).



In any case, that name took too long to paint over our chests on diversion day, so we dropped it in 1985 and embraced another corporate name - ESPN, Inc.- - and another logo. And coincidentally, we're a subsidiary of ABC, Inc., which is a completely claimed subsidiary of The Walt Disney Co. Additionally, the Hearst Corporation has a 20% enthusiasm for ESPN."



ESPN (Entertainment and Sports Programming Network) is an American digital telecom company devoted to broadcasting and delivering sports-related programming 24 hours every day.

However, the full name was dropped in February, 1985, when the company adopted a new corporate name – ESPN, Inc. – and a new logo. Based in Bristol, CT., 80 percent of ESPN is owned by ABC, Inc., which is an indirect subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. The Hearst Corporation holds the remaining 20 percent interest in ESPN.
