Sportsworld (US TV series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sportsworld (a.k.a. NBC Sportsworld) was an United States sports anthology series which aired on NBC on Saturday afternoons from 1978 until at least the 1990s.
It presented a wide variety of lower-profile and oddball sporting events, in the same fashion as ABC's Wide World of Sports, and was generally scheduled to air during the winter and spring in lieu of college football.
Mike Adamle was one of the first, and one of the longest-running anchors. Dick Enberg also appeared regularly during the series' early years.
