Its initial lineup featured studio programs such as "SportsNight"—which host Keith Olbermann characterized as a "lighter" parallel to ESPN's "SportsCenter" that would still be "comprehensive, thorough and extremely skeptical", "Talk2"—a Jim Rome-hosted nightly talk show billed as an equivalent to CNN's "Larry King Live", "Max Out"—an extreme sports anthology series carried over from ESPN, and "SportsSmash"—a five-minute recap of sports headlines which aired every half-hour. ESPN2 also featured several half-hour news programs focused on specific sports, such as "NFL 2Night" (football), "NHL 2Night" (hockey) and "RPM 2Night" (auto racing). Event coverage would focus on coverage of mainstream sports popular within the 18–34 age demographic, such as auto racing, college basketball and NHL hockey (which was branded as "NHL Fire on Ice"), while also covering atypical sports such as BMX and other extreme sports.
