It's back! ESPN bringing back 'The Ocho' for second consecutive year
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.
