ESPN Cut List..

The rights to NBA and NFL are huge, I can go to YouTube for highlights, and First Take gets ratings.

No one complaining about SC not showing highlights is going to sit through that show to watch highlights of the cuse game like it's 2000. That's not the way it is anymore.

NHL should grab him. Hes a huge hockey guy and would be a good fit

more people needed to do that, ie: jump to a league specific like Eisen or went local with a National tie in like Pidto on MSG and NHLN.

the smart ones got out and got themselves a real gig.

a few minutes every other week on sportscenter or out at some random college hoop game on a sideline, will not make you the next Chris Berman or Hannah Storm.

ESPN Has Seen the Future of TV and They’re Not Really Into It

I liked to turn Sportscenter on in the morning or at night, just for scores and highlights. Not even specific sport or team. Now, I can't even handle having it on in the background.

The ESPN NBA and MLB TV contracts they just signed were awful deals. ESPN drastically over paid for these rights.

Disney is making ESPN cut off expenses.

I don't think most people consume sports like that anymore though. I can see the score of any game or any highlight whenever I want. And that doesn't even get into NFL/MLB/NBA networks who all do it better than SC.

So, it looks like the execs at ESPN have no clue what their viewers want. That is probably why Wildhack jumped on the first lifeboat.

Let me further this for you ... I'm 26, sports fanatic, love movies, love hip hop, and enjoy pop culture as a whole. The show sucks lol

So, does the one that approved these bad deals get fired, or possibly take a reduction in pay? I am guessing no to both, in fact, he probably accepted a bonus that would pay 2 or 3 or more of these folks for a year.

Now that I think of it I literally have not watched a minute of SC since 2014.

I don't disagree with you. I think John Skipper is a joke.

Skipper has allowed politics to infest ESPN that is on him.

He wants to allow the perception of the network to tilt left that has hurt them.

You are right, I check scores on my phone often. But, when I get home and I sit down, I would rather look at my TV. I am probably in the minority, and I understand that. And the fact is that NFL/MLB/NBA networks do it better, is not the issue, because it is up to ESPN to then up their game and do it better, instead they make it a bunch of crap. They have to fill that time with something, they have to figure out what people want to see and then provide that. I am not sure what it is, but they are driving people away.

Seriously, I don't need to sit through 25 minutes of games I don't care about to see 2 minutes of highlights for a game I do. The ACC puts out a great highlight package after every game. SU puts out a highlight package with Matt Park's calls. The world is just different now.

It's hotel room background noise.

 

[AirForceOrange]

Since ESPN is the backbone of the upcoming ACC Network, is this development concerning?

... And that's why I had it on.

FIFY

Thanks. I was trying to show that I was a little bit compassionate but I'm good with your fix.

 

[Alsacs]

No because ESPN will profit from the agreement and got an extension on game rights to do it.

ESPNU or ESPNews may get the axe for the ACC network

Politics plays a very minor role. It's TV habits and the internet that's eating away at their viewership.

Possibly meaning that we won't have to listen to Corey Alexander or LaPhonso Ellis.

Yeah no one's calling to cancel because Caitlin Jenner won a espy

Well, she worked hard for that award. She cut her dork off to win it. I ain't doing that.
