Yesterday ESPN debuted a brand new insanely expensive new WokeCenter AM show starring Mike Greenberg, Michelle Beadle and Jalen Rose. That trio of talent will be making just shy of $15 million a year and ESPN also poured tens of millions of dollars into their brand new studio as well.
As if that weren’t enough ESPN also spent millions and millions of dollars promoting the new show and rolled out their entire marketing platform to ensure viewers were aware the show was launching.
And, well, the show’s officially already ratings disaster.

ESPN jumping from one sport to another without any continuity of score/wins/losses/highlights of MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA, Colleges, etc. has been replaced with dedicated shows about those particular sports. If your interest is in any particular sport, there is a channel for you. No longer have to wait through sports you care nothing about on ESPN, like the NBA, to get all the results of MLB or NHL or any other sport. ESPN needs to ditch the jock-talk shows and go back to the Joe Friday type reporting...”Just the facts!”
So much for the cr@p sandwich ESPN is serving.
Maybe if the net tried paying viewers to watch.. ?
Bwah hah hah hah hah!
I liked Greeny and Golic, Trei Wingo not so much. I liked “BooGer” McFarland,too.
“A few weeks ago I was at the gym mid-afternoon and ESPN was playing on the locker room TV. There was a lengthy commercial for burial insurance. Not life insurance, insurance specifically designed to cover funeral expenses. All the actors looked to be 70+. I remember wondering who is the audience for a show with such a sponsor. Certainly not young people, the sought-after “demo”.”
BOL, when they run ads for that audience and Shazam ads for their beloved millennial audience, that means they are in trouble.
Guys at my Legion are more entertaining sport talkers.
Somebody explain "woke" to me. Or is it not worth the effort?
TOP DEFINITION
Woke
Although an incorrect tense of awake, a reference to how people should be aware in current affairs.
“While you are obessing with the Kardashians, there are millions of homeless in the world. STAY WOKE”
Peppa Pig to be hostess of Sportscenter!
ESPN is dead to me.
Can’t stand Max Kellerman, Steven A Smith or Michelle Beadle.
Guess and it is Chris Carter and Skip Bales for my AM sports fiX.
I tuned out of BSPN a few years ago when all this SJW crap entered into sports. It no longer became entertainment. They actually call it “Woke Center”? What kind of SJW millenial @$$ho!e came up with this idea? I hope it continues to epic fail.
The linked article's author satirical name of the show.
Proves that no amount of perform sprayed on or around sh*t changes anything; sh*t will always be sh*t.
She had gone to NBCSN to do a morning show that was also a ratings disaster.
Get “Woke”, go broke!
They had a good show with Mike and Mike, I don’t get this show at all, except maybe to put a woman into it.
Kellerman is a commie.
Can’t stand to have women on sports shows!
The lack of funding may soon cause the death of the Left and their filthy assault on Western Civilization. After awhile, the people that fund this idiocy are going to get sick and tired of literally burning millions and millions of dollars.
15 million for those 3 people? Why? Then again, why 15 million for any 3 people at ESPN or any network? What a waste.
