Tenero TV Founder and Executive Producer Garrett Z. Sutton explains, “We are honored that Tenero Productions produced ‘Sports Heaven: The Birth of ESPN’ by working closely with ESPN Founder Bill Rasmussen and many of the key players who built this network.”
This new documentary showcases the true story behind ESPN. Fans can learn how Bill and his son Scott Rasmussen first came up with this moonshot idea, and bet everything on satellites. Despite many obstacles and skepticism from doubters, the film reveals how these American entrepreneurs launched the first sports-only network on September 7, 1979, from Bristol, Connecticut.
Sutton emphasizes, “'Sports Heaven: The Birth of ESPN' is not simply the story of a network. It is the story of persistence, risk, vision, and intentional optimism.”
After getting fired by the Hartford Whalers in 1978, Bill Rasmussen saw it as an opening to remake the sports broadcasting industry. Instead of feeling defeated, the ‘Intentional Optimist’ asked a question that would alter sports history: Why not build a channel dedicated entirely to sports?
The new “Sports Heaven: The Birth of ESPN” documentary is directed by Emmy-Award Winning Director Greg DeHart. Tenero Productions and Tenero TV Founder Garrett Z. Sutton serves as executive producer. ESPN historian Mike Soltys serves as a producer. The film is based on the “Sports Heaven” book and audiobook written by ESPN Founder Bill Rasmussen with Mike Soltys and Garrett Z. Sutton as co-authors.
The film features interviews with Bill Rasmussen, Scott Rasmussen, along with the pioneers and leaders who helped shape the network, including Chris Berman, George Grande, Mary Walton, Bob Ley, Chuck Pagano, George Conner, Geoff Bray, Rosa Gatti, George Bodenheimer, Jimmy Pitaro, Mike Soltys, Josh Krulewitz, Howard Baldwin, Dennis Randall, Ken Boudreau, Mike Buckler, Al Parinello, John Leone, Greg Wyatt, and J.B. Doherty.
