{{PageCredits|description=Mvboys2|video=justinc, BetaMAX}}

This was the sports broadcasting division of ABC. It was formed in 1961 to produce ''ABC's Wide World of Sports'', the famous sports anthology program. It acquired ESPN in 1984, which led to some unity between both networks. In the late '90s, Owner The Walt Disney Company started integrating ABC Sports and ESPN, with presentation packages, graphics, and announcers shared between both networks. By 2000 they were about the same. In 2002, ABC Sports started gaining re-independence, but in 2006 it was merged with ESPN.
