Gone, but not forgotten. Wide World Sports hasn't been seen on ABC in years, but as the iconic show approaches it's 50th anniversary, ESPN Classic will celebrate the show and it's legacy with 70 hours worth of coverage.

According to a press release, the celebration begins on today, April 22 and continues through the week.

A little sports trivia, the first episode of Wide World Sports came from the Drake Relays here in Des Moines.
