When it began in 1993, ESPN2 was mostly a channel to show extreme sports and cater to younger viewers. Now, it’s a compliment to ESPN and has become home to soccer, tennis as well as the sports on the Mothership. This Friday, April 1, ESPN2 will reach 100 million homes, just a couple months after the Mothership hit the century mark.
