1960s

Notes

*1985 - ABC carries the Little League World Series championship game live for the first time on "Wide World of Sports". For the first time in baseball history, the home plate umpire wears a miniature camera on his mask.

1990s

Notes

*1997 - For the first time, U.S. Regional championship games in Little League Baseball are televised nationally on ESPN2.

2000s

Notes

*2002 - Both the U.S. Championship and World Championship Games were televised live during prime time for the first time (6:30 ET). The World Championship Game was aired on tape delay on the West Coast.

*In 2006, 28 of the 36 games were televised on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC.
**2006 - The World Championship Game was initially supposed to air on ABC. However, a rain delay caused the game to be postponed until following day (Monday, August 28, 2006). As a result, the Championship Game instead, aired on ESPN2.

*In January 2007, it was announced that ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC had extended their contract with the Little League organization through 2014. [ [http://www.latimes.com/sports/custom/extras/la-spw-tvcol5jan05,1,6528696.column?page=2&coll=la-sports-extras latimes.com] ]
