BOSTON — Since 1979, SportsCenter has been a pioneer by completely redefining how fans receive their daily sports news. Now, almost 40 years later, ESPN is looking to take their award-winning show to Snapchat — the first time that SportsCenter will be aired on a separate platform.
Currently on Snapchat, ESPN has a daily publisher subscription page where users can view short highlights and read the day’s breaking sports news articles. Over the past several months, ESPN has been in talks with Snap about launching a new show that is specific to the Snapchat platform.
“A year ago we launched Snapchat shows, and currently have 30 to date,” said Sean Mills, Snapchat’s Head of Original Content.
