Unfortunately the PGA Championship Golf Game is on ESPN. I will be tuning into it reluctantly.

The PGA.com is also using FubarTV (Streaming Channel) in addition to ESPN.

Not sure if PGA.com have their own announcers, though but worth the time to check out.

FubarTV has a 7-day free trial: https://www.fubo.tv/welcome

Going the way of A&E with “Live PD”: get rid of what the viewers want, then act surprised when the viewers find other things to do.

I would much rather listen to the home town guys then national announcers.

Me too. Greg Brown and Bob Walk never lecture me about systemic racism.

“The only thing I watch ESPN for is college football.”

Same here.

Hopefully they will get away from Sports entirely and concentrate on Woke Justice. They could pay Kapernick 50 million a year and fire all of the other overpaid commentators, especially former athletes.

I only watch live college football. That’s a major reason their ratings haven’t fallen further.

I was done with ESPN in 2003 when they fired Rush Limbaugh for daring to criticize Donovan McNab.

What a happy story!

Hey espn....you had the proverbial goose that laid the golden egg. You had one job: report on and show sports!

And you blew it.

It's what happens when you hire a bunch of dukies.

“ESPN is done along with cable and some dish satellite subscriptions”

You can get (free) every broadcast game of most any sport via streaming. It maybe choppy and you have to dodge some shady potential software downloads but it is out there. Mostly Euro based websites.

Thanks for the chart. ESPN has lost customers since 2016. Why? Because ESPN is repulsive, like the football player Kapernich, the baseball player Betts, the cyclist Armstrong and the the candidate H. Clinton. Sad. ESPN was very cool ten years ago. Thankfully, Fox Sports saw a market and beats ESPN.

Those College Wokesters are making demands as well. At least PAC-12 Players are. Funny as the PAC-12 is fast on the way to becoming a non entity at the major College level at least in Football.

but if we keep paying cable bills we’re still supporting espn supposedly....I need to cut cable myself...

My phone and internet is part of my cable package. Plus I enjoy some cable channels but have banned the viewing of others. If I, along with millions of others stop watching ESPN and other offensive channels it will register as such and remove their sponsors. Not going to throw out the baby with the bath water.

If you pay a cable or satellite tv bill, you’re paying ESPN.

Actually if you have cable but do not watch a station it matters not.
