The lone national television broadcast of the Continental Football League was a Wide World of Sports broadcast of the 1966 championship game ABC paid the league $500 for a rights fee, a minuscule sum by professional football standards. Another memorable regular feature in the 1960s and 1970s was Mexican cliff diving. Traditional Olympic sports such as figure skating, skiing, gymnastics and track and field competitions were also regular features of the show. NASCAR Grand National/Winston Cup racing was a Wide World of Sports staple until the late 1980s, when it became a regularly scheduled sporting event on the network. These included many types not previously seen on American television, such as hurling, rodeo, curling, jai-alai, firefighter's competitions, wrist wrestling, powerlifting, surfing, logger sports, demolition derby, slow pitch softball, barrel jumping, and badminton. Usually, "Wide World" featured two or three events per show. It originally ran for two hours on Saturday afternoons, but was later reduced to 90 minutes. The goal of the program was to showcase sports from around the globe that were seldom, if ever, broadcast on American television.
