Associate Manager Proprietary Programming: Are you interested in deciding what sports fanatics will see on TV? ESPN is hiring! The linked job came across in one of my mailing lists this morning and it made me wonder if any of us have ever worked at ESPN or auditioned for Dream Job.

it made me wonder if any of us have ever worked at ESPN I can't even consider doing such a thing. I read half a sentence -- "Implement strategies focused on our programming initiatives to support all EOE programming" -- and my eyes glaze.

I know someone who works in ESPN now. That person says the BBC has been in there teaching them to set up interactive TV operations too. If anyone's interested, let me know.
