Similar in format to old Siskel and Ebert, PTI is known for it's humorous & often loud tone, as well as the "rundown" graphic listing the topics yet to be discussed down the right-hand side of the screen. The show's popularity has led to the creation of similar shows on ESPN & similar segments on other series & the rundown graphic has since been implemented on the morning editions of SportsCenter that are repeated from the previous night's last live broadcast, among many imitators. PTI debuted on October 22, 2001. The original deal was for 2 years with an option for a 3rd. It airs daily @ 5:30 PM ET on ESPN (if not preempted by live events such as golf) & is repeated on numerous ESPN sister outlets (see "Broadcast details" below). The show originally also aired Sunday evening, but this was short-lived. PTI is produced by ESPN Original Entertainment. The show's launch team & daily production management is led by broadcast executive Todd Mason. PTI is sponsored by alcoholic beverage company Diageo, via it's brands Guinness, Red Stripe & Smirnoff Ice.
