Synopsis
Boasting four sports channels with more than 200 million viewers worldwide, a sports magazine with a circulation of more than 2 million, a network of radio stations, and a successful chain of theme restaurants -- to say nothing of an estimated net worth of $15 billion -- ESPN is a veritable media empire. It is one of the most instantly recognizable brands in the world. But in 1978, when Stuart Evey, then a top executive for Getty Oil, heard the pitch for funding a new cable network from Bill Rasmussen, a former play-by-play announcer for a minor league hockey team, he had good reason to be skeptical. An all-sports network whose programming would consist of events like slow-pitch softball, Australian-rules football, and day-old college basketball games that couldn't make it on to the major networks? It shouldn't have been a tough call: eight other companies had already said no., Stuart Evey, the founding chairman of ESPN, details the difficult, thrilling, and contentious creation of ESPN in this insider's account. From altercations with Ted Turner at the Playboy mansion to manufacturing a high-stakes, multi-million dollar bidding war between media giants based on nothing more than carefully placed insinuations, Evey was at the center of everything regarding ESPN's infancy and early years. Featured among the many riveting stories are a look inside the dysfunctional family empire that was worth billions, why the young network cut Dick Vitale's microphone off in mid-interview, how Evey duped ABC into investing millions into ESPN, and why Bristol, Connecticut was chosen as the home of a burgeoning media monolith.
