Awards

It never gets old.

Awards are great publicity, and we’re ecstatic about every one of them. But to us, they are really the recognition that our professionals deserve. It’s the confirmation that they’re performing like true champions in what they do. It’s also a nod to ESPN being focused as a company, as well as an employer. All in all, we’re proud of everyone who continues to make us a global industry leader.

We were recently ranked No. 5 in a listing of Best Media Companies to Work For by Business Insider. Our transmission group was named by Broadcast Engineering as winner of its New Studio Technology - Network award.
