For example, despite both the historic nature of the 2007 BCS championship game (Florida's win gave it simultaneous Division I football and basketball championships, which had never before been accomplished) and the compelling 2007 Fiesta Bowl, Fox would not allow ESPN Classic (a sister network to rights co-holder ESPN) to show the games as "instant classics."
The McDonald's All-American three-point contest that Bullock won was brought back to the media when ESPN Classic's "Cheap Seats" re-aired it in an episode depicting the contest as well as the 2003 NHL Skills competition.
Crocco also composed music for MTV animated series Clone High and also for ESPN Classic show "Cheap Seats" as well as music cues for the Cartoon Network film "Re-animated".
The show made its ESPN Classic debut on May 2, 2005 with Trey Wingo as host; this series is similar to its ESPN25 predecessor but has a Top 20 list and new features such as Best Masters, Best College Football Bowls, Greatest Game 7s, etc. and counts down to the top of all time, rather than the last 25 years.
Sports Challenge is believed to be completely intact; Classic Sports Network (now "ESPN Classic"), ESPN, and ESPN2 have all aired the series in the past, with The Walt Disney Company (which owns 80% of ESPN) presumably owning any format rights along with the episodes.
