ESPN To Create ESPN8: 'The Ocho' For One Day
BRISTOL, Conn. (CBS4) - It's no longer just a line out of the movie Dodgeball.
ESPN8 is happening. At least for a day.
According to a release by ESPN, their channel ESPNU will switch over to become ESPN8 on, appropriately enough, Aug. 8 - or, rather, 8/8.
