ESPN, owned by Disney, deployed technology usually reserved for MLB telecasts in the 2019 College World Series. It included a 4D Replay system, a POV camera on the home-plate umpire's mask, and all-encompassing surround coverage on ESPN3. This highlights the significance of technology's role in shaping the viewers' expectations of sports now. As the sector's top patent holder, Disney and its subsidiaries own numerous technologies primarily relating to video analysis and creating broadcast overlays. It is clear that ESPN continues to innovate in order to compete with other stations, most notably Fox Sports, which Disney had divested upon acquiring the other Fox units.
