Disney demanding major costs cuts at ESPN

[Rell84shots]

@ thinking Beadle getting fired would change anything, like her not being on ESPN at all for 2 years didn't happen. ESPN brought in Charissa to Sports Nation, she was doing splits, the show didn't miss a beat. Beadle was on NBCSN and doing Hollywood shyt, yet all y'all could do was talk about Beadle

No one was talking about Beadle and that's why NBC fired her Charissa chose to leave SN which is how Beadle was able to get her job back, not because people missed her.

ESPN is looking at FoxNews and wondering how to increase viewership. Eventually they will come to the conclusion that they should cater to the lowest common denominator and it will be more about reinforcing the views and satisfying the desires of those kinds of people instead of doing what they should be doing, which is reporting on fukking sports.

Thus more disposable crap like First Take and that idiot Beadle and less 30 for 30 shyt or shyt that actually has to do with what is going on on the field/court/pitch

fukk E!SPN. in 2015, they are FAR from our only option when it comes to sporting news television.

they start filling their airwaves with a bunch of first take type shows, then I'll watch them less than I already do.

to be honest, I watch more NBATV and NFL network anyways. ESPN only good for the live sports content they carry.

Dude is wack.

Simmons was mostly responsible for 95% of the good original content on that network

Is it the theme song the only reason people like nba on nbc?

I don't want to hear Bob Costas do anything nba related in 2015

They pay all that money to broadcast The NBA and their coverage still fukking sucks. It's an after thought compared to The NFL.

ESPN also over paid for the Major League Baseball coverage and that studio show crap. Nobody watches baseball or that dumb ass poker shyt that they show. Hell they should get rid of that X-Games garbage and that self promoting Espy garbage. They should be able to save a bundle by cutting that shyt.

 

[The War Report]

Nobody watches baseball

Wrong.

 

[Samori Toure]

Wrong.

Then you must be pretty old, because that is baseball's audience. Here is proof viewership and popularity.

Only reason they have lost customers is because people don't pay for tv anymore

People will skim past this post, but this is it.

These cable companies deserve to feel uncomfortable with those horrible options/prices they give to the consumer. I hope everybody shares that ESPN log in and streams through other means so the archaic way of cable can be put in a body bag for good.

Yeah. It's so many ways to get your content to your HDTV it's not even funny.

There's no reason why we should be forced to pay extra for HD content when it's now the standard basically. You get HD feeds from a free antenna, but these a$$holes charge you for HD content via cable.



Kiss my ass
