Sooo on my first day at ESPN I got a tour off the campus in Bristol....

And man....is it one impressive looking beast. I took random snap shots....

Thats one of the new sets they just put together in the screener room.

Of course, the main Sportscenter Studio.

Sound studio:

One of their satellite farms.

Of course, their often seen on commercials basketball court:

a lot of emmy's

This is where all the crazy stats are came up with:

Those are just some of the pics I took. Overall, my orientation was awesome. Some of the benefits i get under the Disney umbrella will certainly be used.

Big one, is the Sony discount which will most likely go towards my funding of a PS3.

haha, no clue really. I'm working out of the NYC offices. I'm pretty sure they have people on staff however.

ESPN likes to do the "try before you buy" thing.

They recruited me to work there when I was moving back to CT. I turned it down because I didn't get health insurance and I wouldn't be guaranteed a job after 6 months.

Where are the team mascots you see running around in the commercials?

Pretty sure thats productions jobs in general from big companies. My friend has been a freelance at Viacom for 6 months now.

I am in the Customer Marketing and Sales department. I am a client services representative for espn.com as well as affilate websites.

Sony discount is 10% on everything...but 25% on their blu-ray players.
