This is my favorite intro!!
-
Anyone know the name of the music on this promo?
-
This was by far the best promo ever. Watching this Promo with the great music says that if you miss an Ep. Then you miss a LOT!!!!!>
Those were the good days of TV. We had only 3 to 4 stations to watch. But this was good quality. NOW WITH 100S OF STATIONS TO WATCH. NOTHING ON.

I have been looking for this theme. Thanks for posting

@VIDEOTIMEMACHINE Thank you!!! ESPN wouldn't be here today if it hadn't been for Wide World of Sports. That was the one that started it all. ABC WIde World of Sports & Greatest Sports Legends are better than any of the crap that's on about sports today.

I rememebr this version. Memories of my youth. Thanks so much for putting it up.
-
Favorited and put in Action and Adventure Sports playlist.
-
I love this theme!! It sounds like it was written by Issac Hayes or the Love Unlimited Orchestra!!
Contrast this great theme to the lame, anonymous sounding music played by ESPN (who took over ABC Sports).

The secret for "Wide World Of Sports"' long-term success was simple: The wide range of events covered (or as Jim mcKay noted in the opening of each show, "The Constant Variety Of Sport").
"Wide World" changed both television and sports forever. Auto racing, figure-skating, track and field, and gymnastics, among others, became major TV attractions thanks to "Wide World".

@altfactor Correct. Jim McKay addressed this one time saying it was like the other networks just looked on Main Street and Wide World looked down the side streets. That would explain why you saw things like Evel Knievel, frog jumping, cliff diving etc. It was also a major mistake for ABC to cancel it. ESPN stinks.
