"Airing Wednesday night on ABC, the annual sports award show averaged a 1.3 rating and 2.18 million viewers."

Don't always play it safe because it's easy. Take calculated risks. That's what ESPN did.

"I want to thank ESPN for this tribute and an opportunity to do a job that I’ve loved for 38 years."

Serena Williams hosted the special night from Los Angeles which continued to support The V Foundation for Cancer Research.

“We appreciate all the work that ESPN does to shine a spotlight on cancer and cancer research, and this year was critically important for us to dial in more deeply into the legacy that is Stuart Scott."

“These honorees have used their platforms to change the world and make it more inclusive for marginalized and suffering communities, demonstrating incredible resilience, positivity and perseverance, and we’re thrilled to celebrate them at The 2024 ESPYS.” 

The ESPYS will support The V Foundation for Cancer Research, which was launched in 1993 by ESPN in partnership with the late Jim Valvano.

“I will have a microphone on Wednesday night at the ESPYS, and I’m honored for that."

“The 2022 event drew 2.3 million viewers.”

"In his nearly 20-minute speech, Dick Vitale promised the audience that he was not going to give up on Valvano's dream of putting an end to cancer."
