>>You know the execs at Fox wants a LA v. NY series.<<
Not that, based on ALL the sports shows you would even know L.A. was even in it.
Every day for lunch I go to the bar area in the local restaurants for the faster service. Of course they have all the sports shows on and they cover every team in the hunt, even ones that have already been knocked out, and not a SINGLE story on the Dodgers.
This has always been true about L.A. sports. Until they are in the finals in any sport, there is scant coverage.
OTOH, sports coverage IN L.A. is also scant, no matter how the local teams are doing (and virtually no coverage of college to speak of no matter what).
If the people in LA don't care about their teams, why should we?
I’m not sure where you’re getting your information, but you’re way off base, There are three radio sports talk stations in Los Angeles and Orange County, including ESPN and Fox outlets. The third is owned by the guy who owns the Angels and is their flagship station. Twenty four hour sports on those stations and they’re not talking New York Yankees all day. They’re talking about the Dodgers almost exclusively right now.
The ESPN station carries the Laker games, and that team is huge in LA. They also carry USC football. Besides the games, they have an hour of Trojan talk Monday nights during the season.
The Fox station carries the Dodgers, the Clippers, and UCLA. That OC station carries the Angels and Ducks.
Two stations, one AM and one FM, carries the Rams. The Chargers are on KFI. They all have call in shows besides the game broadcasts.
TV news begins with Dodger results right now. Weekend and postgame sports wrap up shows are not overlooking local teams.
So while you may be right about other areas not covering LA sports, you’re wrong about coverage here. I guess that old saying about everything being bigger in Texas is especially true when it comes to the BS.
