ESPN SportsCenter Segment on ABC’s Wide World of Sports

Posted by on Apr 25, 2011 11:10

On SportsCenter Sunday and into this morning, ESPN is airing this segment paying tribute to the 50th anniversary of ABC’s Wide World of Sports. This week, ESPN Classic is airing programs commemorating the anniversary and this particular segment is a very nice look back at some of the sports Wide World covered dating back to its humble beginnings in 1961 and its impact on sports television.

Great to see some of the old ABC Sports announcers like Al Michaels, Keith Jackson and Donna de Varona.

This certainly brings back some memories.
