It’s back! ESPN bringing back ‘The Ocho’ for second consecutive year
By SDS Staff
Published:
ESPN announced that it will suspend regularly scheduled programming on August 8th for the second consecutive year and give us ESPN8 “The Ocho.”
Since the movie Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story helped create the programming, it’s only right that it will kick off and end the special programming.
It will show a variety of sports, including dodgeball, cornhole, darts and chess boxing, among others, and it will be a full takeover on the network, including content from ESPN The Magazine, ESPN.com, E:60 and SportsCenter.
