What in the hell is ESPN doing? Saw some of it after PTI and it's easily the worst sports show I have ever seen. Who the hell thought this was a good idea

Nobody watches highlight shows anymore. Ratings are in a freefall. Might as well try some new stuff.Classyposter58;1838370 wrote:What in the hell is ESPN doing? Saw some of it after PTI and it's easily the worst sports show I have ever seen. Who the hell thought this was a good idea

In that same vein, why do they think anyone is going to watch this?Laley23;1838371 wrote:Nobody watches highlight shows anymore. Ratings are in a freefall. Might as well try some new stuff.

6pm is a rough time for Sportscenter. The highlights from yesterday are old and nothing much has happened that day to cover. That said, I saw a promotion where they not only talk about sports but also movies, music, etc. Who GAF about their opinions on any of that?
I can respect ESPN for trying something new as Lalely said, but if you follow Jemelle Hill on Twitter it's hard to find many people who like her or her show(s).

Ratings are about the same as they were for SC 1 year ago today at 6pm, and up from before the change. It hasn't been a rousing success, but far from a failure, at least to this point.sleeper;1838372 wrote:In that same vein, why do they think anyone is going to watch this?

I haven't heard one person have one good thing to say about the show. My guess is the ratings tank.Laley23;1838377 wrote:Ratings are about the same as they were for SC 1 year ago today at 6pm, and up from before the change.

Not to beat around the bush...but...they will have a steady audience, imo. Lollike_that;1838380 wrote:I haven't heard one person have one good thing to say about the show. My guess is the ratings tank.

I haven't watched much of SC 6, but I don't mind the combo. Michael Smith is really good, IMO. Jamele can be bad, but their chemistry is great.

IMHO, the only worthwhile non actual sporting events on ESPN are 30for30 and NCAA college game day.

They've been pulling that E back into it consistently over the past few years with things like this, covering WWE and Esports, etc.friendfromlowry;1838436 wrote:What does that have to do with anything happening today?
I'm assuming it's a mix of working within the continually shrinking budget from Disney (they were supposed to lop off like $350M over the last 2 years) and trying to get more non-sports eyes on the TV, assuming that dabbling this stuff in isn't going to turn away the ones who only want sports.

I've never seen their his and hers show, and I haven't seen this SC either. I haven't watch a SC outside of SVP a few times in years. Why are so many people still watching??

Good question. It's rare I watch anything other than actual sports on ESPN (usually a 30 for 30 that looks interesting), so I'm not exactly their audience for these shows, lol.Laley23;1838583 wrote:You've got at least a year before they pull the plug.

Yeah, with the instant ability to view any highlight, if SC is on, I turn to an old sitcom rerun. I have no use for any of those shows, which is why I don't understand why people complain about them? Are you actually watching SC daily and this ruins it?Heretic;1838589 wrote:Good question.

I can not stand Hill at all. ESPN used to be amazing but the "talent" they have now is worthless. Hell Russillo is the only person really left at the station that I enjoy. I wish the app/text alerts had a filter for Stephen A Smith hot takes. He's horrible.wildcats20;1838382 wrote:I haven't watched much of SC 6, but I don't mind the combo.

as far as ESPN is concerned, I like Golic, Jr and College Game Day (both football & bball), and 30-for-30 as well...the worst? Stugats, Greenberg and Dakich.

The worst thing about Dakich is that he does every damn B1G basketball game and he just sounds so damn punchable. And then you turn over to the B1G network to catch a game and fucking Jon Crispin sounds like he was cloned from Dakich, so you can't fucking escape him no matter what you do, lol.vball10set;1838616 wrote:as far as ESPN is concerned, I like Golic, Jr and College Game Day (both football & bball), and 30-for-30 as well...the worst?
