ESPN2 is an American multinational pay television network owned by ESPN, a joint venture between the Walt Disney Company (which owns a controlling 72% stake), Hearst Communications (which owns 18%) and the National Football League (which owns 10%).
ESPN2 was initially formatted as a younger-skewing counterpart to its parent network ESPN, with a focus on sports popular among young adult audiences (ranging from mainstream events to other unconventional sports), and carrying a more informal and youthful presentation than the main network. By the late 1990s, this mandate was phased out, as the channel increasingly became a second outlet for ESPN's mainstream sports coverage.
