History Makers: Stuart Scott

Posted Mar 10, 2017
In 1993, Stuart Scott landed the job of a lifetime with the launch of ESPN2, a pre-eminent sports network that aimed for a younger, hipper audience. He started with assignments on “SportsSmash,” “SportsNight,” and the station’s flagship show, “SportsCenter.” He later followed Keith Olberman as anchor of “SportsNight” and eventually became a regular anchor on “SportsCenter.” (Winston-Salem Journal)
