The camera pans forward through some circular shapes revealing a bright yellow light with more squares with holes in them, but they slide up and down into place forming a line of them while more red streaks fly past us. The camera zooms in and turns through one of the holes while the ABC logo comes into place in front of the line. The camera zooms out from the ABC logo revealing "ESPN on" next to the ABC logo with "ESPN" part being the logo of the sports channel. Another yellow light is behind the logo, multiple lines with the squares above it, and a spinning circular structure is below it while laser streaks fly through the tunnel.
