It acquired [[ESPN]] in 1984, which led to some unity between both networks. In the late '90s, [[The Walt Disney Company]] started integrating ABC Sports and ESPN, with presentation packages, graphics, and announcers shared between both networks. In 2002, ABC Sports started gaining re-independence, but in 2006 it was merged with ESPN. Today, ABC televises its sports programming under the '''ESPN on ABC''' brand. | ||
