For years, ESPN\u2019s award-winning \u201cThis is <\/span>SportsCenter<\/span><\/i>\u201d advertising campaign has taken fans into the corridors, cafes and control rooms of ESPN. On April 10 at 10 p.m. ET \u00a0on ESPN, in a special \u201c<\/span>SportsCenter<\/span><\/i> All-Access,\u201d viewers will get a real-time look into what it takes to create the iconic sports news and information program. The live episode \u2013 presented with limited commercial interruptions \u2013 will follow ESPN\u2019s telecast of the New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox and will run until midnight.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anchored by <\/span>Steve Levy<\/b> and <\/span>Michael Eaves<\/b>, this special <\/span>SportsCenter<\/span><\/i> will include roving reporters <\/span>Elle Duncan<\/b> and <\/span>Marty Smith<\/b> bringing fans to seldom seen places around ESPN\u2019s Bristol campus. Planned access includes a live look inside <\/span>SportsCenter<\/span><\/i>\u2019s home, Studio X, and the <\/span>SC<\/span><\/i> control room; entry into the screening room, where highlights are created; a visit to the <\/span>SC<\/span><\/i> Top 10 laboratory; a stop in the <\/span>SC<\/span><\/i> Green Room and other unseen workspaces within the state-of-the-art Digital Center 2, where the show originates from.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe often hear from fans who are interested in what goes on away from the <\/span>SportsCenter<\/span><\/i> set,\u201d said <\/span>Norby Williamson<\/b>, ESPN executive vice president and executive editor, studio production. \u201cIn this all access edition, we\u2019re going to take them places they normally wouldn\u2019t go and show them things they normally wouldn\u2019t see, all in a fun and entertaining manner, while continuing to deliver the day\u2019s sports news in <\/span>SportsCenter\u2019s<\/span><\/i> signature style.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fans will get a regular <\/span>SportsCenter <\/span><\/i>viewing experience amplified by integrated cut-ins depicting how the show is assembled and presented. For instance, after airing a particular game highlight, viewers might get a live report from screening explaining how that highlight was assembled. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also scheduled to join the show are: <\/span>Mel Kiper, Jr.<\/b>, with an updated NFL Mock Draft, <\/span>Stephen A. Smith<\/b> and <\/span>Michael Wilbon<\/b> live from the Celtics-Wizards game in Washington, D.C. A sampling of \u201cThis is <\/span>SportsCenter<\/span><\/i>\u201d spots will also be included.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou never know who \u2013 or what \u2013 will show up for this type of event,\u201d Williamson said. \u201cSometimes, the \u2018This is <\/span>SportsCenter\u2019<\/span><\/i> ads really do come to fruition and half the fun is seeing that develop.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The program will be supported on <\/span>SportsCenter\u2019s<\/span><\/i> various social media platforms with additional content, as well as live-tweeting from @ESPNPR. Similar executions of the all access concept for <\/span>SportsCenter<\/span><\/i> were done in 2003 and 2004.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
