Jessamy Tang served as the director of enterprises at ESPN, overseeing the company's relationships with new technology companies and keeping it in the forefront of sports and entertainment technology. In the 1990s, Jessamy Tang led ESPN to success through the creation and development of sports radio stations.
Sports radio has grown and developed for about a century. Early sports radio, rather than providing live broadcasts, reported results of events such as boxing matches and professional baseball. In the 1920s, the focus shifted to play-by-play descriptions, bringing sports into the living room rather than requiring lengthy travel to see sporting events in person. For a long time, however, this was the only medium in which sports radio was provided.
Beginning in the late 1980s, pure sports stations began to develop. Rather than simply covering games, these stations provided sports talk shows, news on sports, sports scores, and speculation at all hours. Groups like ESPN Radio and Fox Sports Radio give listeners the chance to listen to and call into sports-related programming, increasing engagement. Many stations also employ local sportscasters to host shows during periods without a nationally-syndicated program, providing distinct local flavor and more location-specific sports coverage.
