The internet ended the exclusive place that Sports Center played in the Sports fans life. <br /><br />Now highlights are on Youtube five minutes after they happen.<br /><br />I read a pretty good analysis that said that ESPN's turn to the left was a conscious plan. They don't care about the right wing conservative fans. They prefer to have an super loyal energized fan base that will protest if they are taken off of the cable system. You know. The liberals who are always protesting and writing and shit. They see that as protecting them where the run of the mill conservative beer swilling fan just wants to see the game and get the score. If he can get there somewhere else he won't give shit about ESPN being on his cable.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-5667666032601466602017-04-26T21:14:09.843-04:002017-04-26T21:14:09.843-04:00Eddy I love you like a special needs brother but y...Eddy I love you like a special needs brother but you are on the wrong track here.

Everybody should change it up now and then.<br /><br />Something that Ritmo and Nick and I share is that we all love to fight for fightings sake. So take it with a grain of salt as I know you do.

Comcast does not provide high def anything unless you pay extra. She has a plus package and pays over $100 a month but no high def. <br /><br /> We have over 60 over the air channels available, granted many are ethnic language channels, but some of them even provide English language programming on their substations. If many more people dumped their cable, that programming would make it to these channels, especially Sports programming.<br /><br /> I'm pretty satisfied with OTA I get, I enjoy a lot of the retro programming. Even PBS, we have two public tv stations with 7 channels and you can avoid the begathons as they confine it to their main channel. One of them runs blocks of Foreign News services (German,French,Chinese,Korean,Russian,Indian,etc) in English.ampersandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145013352755061465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-31388414784313237442017-04-26T20:28:50.024-04:002017-04-26T20:28:50.024-04:00Cable is another business like publishing and news...Cable is another business like publishing and newspapers that is changing right before your eyes. Many people like me are cutting the cord. Live streaming, Youtube and things like Netflicks and Hulu make it necessary to have cable at all. Unless you want sports. <br /><br />Eventually they will be stand alone streaming. The networks and cable will not be able to pay rights fees the way they do now because they won't have the commercials. So live stream subscriptions will be the norm.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-31589304296737709542017-04-26T20:25:43.160-04:002017-04-26T20:25:43.160-04:00I actually know a couple of guys who lost their jo...I actually know a couple of guys who lost their jobs last year. They came back to Brooklyn and tried to free lance in production which is a very tough gig.<br /><br />The on-air layoffs were the last to happen because they were high profile. When people like Len Elmore and Hannah Storm get fired people notice. If a gaffer or a best boy gets laid off nobody cares.<br /><br />I spent a lot of time with the behind the scenes guys when we had the show. They were all obsessed about the next job. They were always giving each other tips and recommending each other when they get a gig.<br /><br />TV production is a tough gig. ESPN had it soft for a long time.

The largest employer for decades. It was closed serendipitously as ESPN was growing exponentially. Motivated laid off blue collar, GM workers learned new skills and went to work @ ESPN. <br /><br />As you might expect, there was always some conflict between the on air talent and the blue collar workers. Bristol is the consummate, ethnic blue collar, shot and beer town. The conflict hit the news when the 1st woman anchor, Gayle Gardner, blasted the lack of culture in Bristol in a NYT interview. She left for NBC shortly afterward. ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-29041161056238057812017-04-26T19:08:24.147-04:002017-04-26T19:08:24.147-04:00Trooper York said...

ESPN not only went NYT liberal as far as on air, they went all in on the NBA, the most liberal professional sport. Guess what, the NBA is imploding. It was dying when Bird and Magic saved it. Jordan continued the growth. Now it's Hillary supporter, union rats like LeBron who won't play 2 days in a row. ESPN is owned by Disney and CEO Bob Iger is thinking about running against Trump in 2020. He's a limo liberal. ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.com
