ESPN Launches Daily SportsCenter on Disney+
ESPN has big news for sports fans! They’re launching a new show called SC+ exclusively on Disney+. It’s hosted by the dynamic duo of Gary Striewski and Randy Scott on weekdays at 9 a.m. ET, starting on March 3. If weekends are your jam, you can catch an edition hosted by Hannah Storm and Jay Harris.
So what can you expect from SC+? Well, it’s centered around the fan-favorite ‘SC Top 10’ daily countdown of sports moments. Plus, you’ll get the latest scoop on the most important sports news of the day, with insights from ESPN’s top insiders and reporters.
According to Mike Foss, Senior Vice President of Studio & Entertainment at ESPN, “SC+ aims to tell the best sports stories daily in a way that you won’t soon forget.” The show promises to breathe new life into the iconic SportsCenter brand with the creativity and energy of Disney+. It’s a fresh approach that will appeal to die-hard sports fans and casual viewers alike.
This move comes hot on the heels of Disney+ adding a dedicated ESPN section to its platform. ESPN is on a roll, gearing up to launch a daily SportsCenter show on Disney+, along with a program dedicated to covering women’s sports (though details on that are still under wraps).
It’s no secret that Disney+ has a massive audience, so it’s a smart move for ESPN to tap into that fan base. The hope is to introduce more Disney+ viewers to the world of sports through engaging shows like SC+. If you’ve been on the fence about diving into the sports world, this could be your ticket in!
