		But with the Europeans' prosperity came controversy surrounding the sport as a whole.
		Competitive mountain bike racing began in the early 1970s and the sport grew in popularity with the first mass produced bike, the Specialized Stumpjumper, in California in 1981.
		The sport shed its "hip" perception and started to be taken seriously in 1990, when mountain biking was recognized by the International Cycling Union and in the same year, Colorado hosted the first World Championship.

		The same basic design principle is used in today's Olympic archery competitions, but the recurve has been refined, with fiberglass, carbon graphite and aluminum now being the materials of choice.

		Sky Sports won the rights to '4 out of 6' of the available live packages, which were for the 2007/08 season and beyond, with another Pay TV company, Setanta Sports winning the remaining two.

	ESPN to launch new college sports channel - Sports Central Message Boards
		ESPN will launch a new multimedia college sports initiative in March 2005 that includes a new 24-hour television network and content from ESPN.com and ESPN The Magazine.
		I guess to watch actual sports I need a dish and a couple hundred bucks since ESPN in now much more interested in showing us middle aged men playing cards than a football game.
		Have to wonder how much of this is in response to Fox Sports recently converting their regional digital network stations from a general sports (and usually extreme and non-sports sports) family of networks to Fox College Sports Atlantic/Central/Pacific.

	Chorus Sports Channel
		Chorus Sports has developed out of the old Local Channel service provided by Cork Communications since the early-to-mid-80s.
		In early 1999 The Local Channel began concentrating its filmed programming on sports, particularly inter-club GAA games - something proving very popular in Munster (witness the Limerick pirate station RLOTV which also concentates on this).
		With the relaunch of Irish Multichannel as Chorus, the station has now offically declared itself a Sports Channel, although certain elements of the old Local Channel, such as the noticeboard service and Chorus Subscriber Information, should be preserved under the new format - although there are apparently no community announcements at present.

		Though Meister said his channel won't be patterned exactly after the Golf Channel, a success since its 1996 inception, it proves their model can work.
		That should be good news for tennis fans, who have been unhappy about the shoddy network coverage of their sport, including this year's tape-delayed French Open women's final between Venus and Serena Williams.

	USATODAY.com - Fox/Comcast sports channel a tough sell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The combination of a network, the most powerful sports league and the nation's No. 1 cable operator would represent a formidable rival, but most industry analysts do not expect the prospective cable network to succeed.
		Fox Sports Net tried to take on ESPN in the late 1990s, but its regional sports network concept fell short, and it turned to regional sports news.
		Comcast and Fox would hope that a new sports channel would spark a surge in subscribers, especially if it can gain a package of NFL telecasts, possibly Thursday night games in the second half of the season.
