It’s not a bold strategy to do what ESPN is about to do for viewers stuck at home due to social distancing and quarantining.
The Worldwide Leader is bringing back The Ocho, the round-the-clock programming of quirky sports that it’s put together three times in recent years, turning ESPN2 into ESPN8 (“If it’s almost a sport, we’ve got it here!”) thanks to the joke from Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story that has become a favorite of sports fans everywhere.
On Sunday, March 22, we’re getting quite a lineup, which was announced on Thursday. Here’s the schedule of what we’ll see via ESPN:
You wanted it. You asked for it. You got it.
