What happens
ABC first broadcast selected college basketball games of the now-NCAA Division I during the 1960s and 1970s, before it began televising them on a regular basis on January 18, 1987, with a game between the LSU Tigers and Kentucky Wildcats). As CBS and NBC were also broadcasting college games at the time, this put the sport on all three major broadcast television networks. After the ABC Sports division was merged into ESPN Inc. by parent company Disney in 2006, broadcasts have since been produced by ESPN and have primarily used the ESPN College Basketball branding and graphics instead of the College Basketball on ABC branding. After a five-year hiatus, ABC returned to airing college basketball in 2019 with five games on the network, and has continued to do so since. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
