So much time spent analyzing replays that the actual game is going on and secondly those yakky sideline reporters asking their lame questions “So coach what do you have to do next half to even the score?” and the coach replies “score more points”
That’s terrible. The number should be larger.
The last Leftist turn off the lights
Comcast sucks beyond believe. I moved from an area that had Optimum, which for the same price I had 5x the channels and better ones. Comcast same price and fewer channel and fewer good ones (No Science Channel, No Spike, etc). I watch the Mets, but other than that all winter I been watching is Fox News and Star Trek re-runs.
I am cutting once my contract runs out.
True story last week (though I don’t remember what channel). My mom, now with Alzheimer’s, was going to watch the UCLA basketball game because at half time they were going to have some of the team in 1966 receive some commemoration. You could see during the first half Kareem was in the audience. Mom and dad were in the seats at Pauley for 50 years, since they graduated.
But at half time, the tv broadcast felt they had to bring up the guys behind the desk to comment on the game that went on very long beforehand (Duke NC). So they never showed the old players she wanted to see.
Maybe that happens all the time but it was in her newspaper about the commemoration and that stuff is important for people of that era.
With those so-called color commentators it’s all about them and face time for them. I can’t see why during games they have to switch to showing those guys with their headsets yakking it up about this guy or that play meanwhile the game is going on. I like Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth and people know who they are but to constantly switch to them whenever some big play happened and they have to analyze it on screen.
Netflix will follow them in viewer loss, as they continue to run “black kill whitey” and “whitey is stupid” type movies, as well as all their fag crap too.
Haven’t turned it on in quite a while, but may in April as they have the first couple of rounds of The Masters.
Last night I was sitting in a local watering hole and one of the TV’s had one of the ESPN channels on. 2 individuals were discussing some singer’s pregnant photo tweet, which was apparently a copy of some other singer’s pregnant photo tweet. What this has to do with sports I do not know.
Gee, I wonder why they’re losing viewers?
Right - all cable, really. Netflix, Hulu, etc are the big reasons. But I don't know how many people really miss ESPN. I have it & barely watch it because their website gives me enough info.
Right. The real measure is how many people have extended cable but NOT ESPN.: about 8.2 million.
Another way to look at it is that the struggling Fox Sports 1 caught up 350,000 subscribers to ESPN in a single month.
I hope Fox Sports 1 makes it. I really enjoy watching the UFC MMA bouts.
I was so sure that being disrespectful to a flag revered by most of their viewers would increase profits. Between being insulted and watching the rude but overpaid prima-donna get crushed in almost every game, I'm not sure how ESPN ended up with fewer viewers.
Just dished my Dish last week and could not be happier.
40+ digital over the air channels
hulu
netflix
Andriod smart TV which allows me to add any online content
I’m able to stream Fox news live via You Tube on the smart TV’s. And it works like a champ.
Anyone know how the free Fox News stream works over You Tube? I thought that FOX, CNN etc were channels that had to be purchased via a service provider?
ESPN...got your message yet? No one wants to hear your commie directed talking points from your globalist masters. You can shove that “mid-major” term too.
BYE, BYE!
Probably 95% or more of any sports programming I watched even when I had Dish was over the air. All tournament and championship games are always ota.
Not sure why any sporting event would even want to carried on a “pay to view” channel.
If I wanted to watch liberal programming, I’d tune in CNN or MSNBC. Until ESPN and the NFL sustain heavy losses, the status quo will not change.
What’s funny is there are plenty examples of failures in companies like Target, Starbucks etc. but it’s their own hubris and sense of self-worth that will be their undoing.
I don’t want to hear about social issues when I want to be updated on sports.
A new over-the-air digital network, American Sports Network, is available. They air college football, basketball and hockey.
Bingo! We had just a middling package from Comcast (no HBO and the like) and were paying $108/month. We dropped them last month and went with a phone/dish/internet package and the whole deal is just $114/month.
Cable is pricing itself out of existence.
