As ESPN's founding executive producer Peter Fox was privy to some spectacular professional efforts by a cadre of Connecticut locals who made the dream real. The first 300 days of the fledgling network were filled with mayhem on - air gaffes and the slowest instant replay in television. What started as a humble idea in the late spring of 1978 to capitalize on the brand - new mania for U Conn men's basketball soon morphed into ESPN and a plan to begin airing a series of test broadcasts in the fall. This is the story of the early days at ESPN told by one of its founders and how a conversation over a couple of martinis in 1978 led to the creation of a broadcast juggernaut.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Early Days Of Espn 300 Daydreams And Nightmares\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Fox Peter\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781493079575\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 200 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 6\/4\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: History Of Sport","brand":"Fox Peter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49617585471793,"sku":"IN-G-9781493079575","price":23.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781493079575.jpg?v=1724481234","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781493079575-the-early-days-of-espn-300-daydreams-and-nightmares","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
