   Initially it was declared that, but in the final analysis, it was recorded as 6.9.

   Not that early ESPN…ESPN started in 1979.

   @recto89 ABC actually owned a majority of ESPN in 1989 but it was a much more separate network at the time.
   It wasn’t until 1996 when Disney bought ABC and the alliance started to become more noticeable…which led to the “ESPN on ABC” 10 years later.

   Bob Ley, great, objective reporter but he doesn’t do the “BOOOHHH YAHHH” real well so he gets screwed. ESPN sucks now.

   Bob Ley, by far the best reporter ESPN has and they relegate him to outside the lines now. They put knuckleheads like Stuart Scott on their primetime sportscenter. They got rid of NFL primetime or at least the version with Berman and Jackson only and replaced it with Wengo and whoever else. These are the reasons I can’t watch ESPN anymore.

   Yeh I noticed that they used KPIX instead of KGO’s sources. Who Owned ESPN in 1989?

   It was a 6.9 to 7.1 depending on the measurement you look at (USGS officially calls it 6.9). The “5.2″ preliminary he mentions is because he is in San Francisco, 80 miles from the epicenter.
