Sunday Echoes: “ABC Wide World of Sports”
February 28, 2010
Over the past two weeks much of America has been mesmerized by the 2010 Winter Olympics. I count myself in that group. There has not been a night these past many days when during the epic opening scenes of NBC’s nightly coverage I did not think about another opening sequence to another sports program. As a teenager I often watched on the weekends as Jim McKay, a most remarkable and well respect broadcaster, brought amazing sports to the nation with ABC’s “Wide World Of Sports”. I loved the array of diversity McKay featured such as cliff diving into the ocean or Evel Knievel jumping umpteen busses. It was just pure fun.
