]]> This just in….Disney’s Wide World of Sports complex in Walt Disney World will be rebranded with the ESPN Trademark.  Disney owns 80% of ESPN, and Hearst Corporation owns 20%.  About 20 events are televised from Disney’s Wide World of Sports each year by ESPN.

What do you think?  Will changing the name of Disney’s Wide World of Sports to ESPN Something or Other help the complex or hurt it?
