Then can we put the dagger in ESPN?

[dfwgator]

DIE!

[beergarden]

they already fired some of the stupid personalities on ESPN and there’s more. If only BSPN talked about sports instead of leftard crap like Michael Sam’s assventures, they wouldn not be in this spot.

[stars & stripes forever]

Thinning of the herd of all CONSERVATIVES.

This is just the opening salvo from increased competition.

My daughter and her husband just left Warner, moved out of Studio City and found equal paying jobs in Phoenix for a fraction of the cost of living.

They were avid hikers and mountain bikers. Sure, there were trails there, but they are all over the place and easy to get to now.

Oh, and the difference in property taxes, hahahahahaha!

[Jagman]

If they do sell ABC, perfect chance for a conservative billionaire to buy it, but will they? Oh, no, would rather waste hundreds of millions supporting Karl Rove and company.

The stupid party is as the stupid party does...

[onedoug]

“I’ll buy that for a dollar!”

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Calling Bill O’Reilly.

Just like a sports star and a few wealthy investors can buy a major league team, O’Reilly and some wealthy investors ought to buy ABC.

They could turn it around in a year!

(I know it wouldn’t happen but can wish!)

[garyb]

The LaTimes reported last November about the rapid/huge increase in the rights costs increase in sports, which triggers the increase in fees the programmers (ESPN) charge to cable systems, which triggers the increase in fees to customers, which triggers the cord cutting.

(more or less)

[Buckeye McFrog]

including a possible sale of ABC

Breitbart should buy them. Then watch the heads explode.

[Leep]

They need to swirl..as in down the flusher.

[A_Former_Democrat]

ABC has gotten worse and worse. My wife watches some of the prime time stuff and we’ve mentioned several times, that the network just keeps pushing the envelope. And to hell with viewers with kids or young adults watching. It’s just trash after trash after trash

And I haven’t even started on the PC BS and unlikable actors and actresses

[Real Cynic No More]

Hopefully, “The View” is on the chopping block!

[GOPJ]

ABC hires a guy who ran the 'slut and nuts' teams that trashed innocent vulnerble women used by Bill Clinton - - then 'transforms' him into an 'objective' newsperson?

How stupid do they think we are? LET them go under...

[capydick]

Multiple people at ABC told Splinter that there is a widespread belief at the network that the belt-tightening could be tied to a prospective sale by its corporate parent.

Some suggestions to the new ownership, SBBC (Steve Bannon Broadcasting Company):

>Sell ESPN to BET

>Cancel The View

>Fire Steponallofus and replace with Bill O'Reilly (or someone who would make the left's heads explode)

>Bring back Tim Allen

You can’t attack a major portion of your audience and survive, no matter how big you are.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Gee - ABC in trouble? - maybe a consortium of conservatives with the likes of Bannon et al should step in and rescue it.....

[EdnaMode]

ABC ratings have taken a huge hit this season.

[Deplorable American1776]

Will a conservative buy ABC? I'd love to start a gofundme fund with fellow FReepers to buy ABC. I doubt Hillsdale has a journalism department, but if they did I'd hire those graduates for the news department, ask local filmmakers to do shows (Conservative, family value comedies and dramas, historical shows - including an honest show about Robert E. Lee, and maybe a show about different hobbies -Model slot car racing, trains and R/C boats...).

Anybody want to help?😀
