In the summer of 1978, the Rasmussens, with Eagan and his associate Bob Beuys – who owned a video production company – began to seek out support from cable operators and potential investors for the sports channel which they had come to name the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network ( ESP). Rasmussen knew little about cable television at the time and with under 20% of homes receiving cable, the task to create such a network was tedious. Though discouraged by his firing, Rasmussen and Eagan began to discuss a new course Bill Rasmussen's original idea was to create a cable television network that focused on covering all sporting events in the state of Connecticut (for example, the Whalers, the Bristol Red Sox and the Connecticut Huskies), rather than just focusing on one team as Eagan had proposed. Eagan approached Bill with the idea of creating a monthly cable television program covering Connecticut sports and was curious to see if the Whalers would be interested in being the main feature on the show. During his tenure with the hockey team, Rasmussen had met Eagan, who displayed an interest in building a career in television. Bill, who had an affinity with sports for much of his life, was fired from his position as the communications manager for the New England Whalers in 1978.
