A sports television channel devotes its programs to sport. The first examples of sports television were SportsChannel in New York in 1977 and ESPN on American cable networks in 1979. In Europe, Screensport began broadcasting in 1987 and Eurosport was created in 1989. These channels are all omnisports. The 1990s marked the appearance of three categories of sports stations: sports news (L'Équipe TV or InfoSport for example), sports news (TPS Foot or Équidia for example) and club channel (OM TV or Manchester United TV for example). .
