The 2015 ESPYs will not be airing on their longtime TV home of ESPN, but on sister network ABC.
The ESPYs, with lead sponsor Capital One, will air live on ABC at 8 p.m. ET, Wednesday, July 15.
Moving to ABC gives the awards—which recognize major sports achievements of the last year—a broader audience that is not uniquely sports-centric. The ESPYs have transcended the sports world in recent years, attracting celebrities from TV, film and music.
