Overpay for shytty NFL and outbid yourself for NBA games, brehs.


Then they did little job of actually dedicating any coverage to the NBA throughout the day until they created the Jump. They think people wanna watch 2 hours of NFL talk 24/7/365 get that bullshyt off the air like every other sport during the offseason. Half these on air talents are absolute dweebs and think they bigger than they really are.

Espn needs to cut ties with cable providers and turn the watchespn app into the sports version of Netflix

Make espn a standalone app that you pay for directly instead of needing a cable subscription

Its really the only smart play they have left

Firing everybody to save money just makes your product weaker which will drive away even more subscribers

The problem is the leagues are doing the direct to consumer sales themselves.
NFL has sunday ticket and is thinking of making a NFL over the top network, NBA League Pass, MLB has its own thing as well.

ESPN's business model is dead and they are locked into terrible contracts.
Its gonna take a miracle to turn it around, but they might be able to if they sell off their radio stations

ESPN keeps trying to get into politics, social issues and constantly shoves their agenda down peoples throats

Glad they're losing subscribers. You're a sports network, not CNN

They also have too many shows. Keep First Take for the morning, PTI for the afternoon and give every other daily show the boot. If you like Lebetard you can catch him on the radio.

Have seasonal shows like Baseball Tonight during the summer and NFL Live during the football season, an NBA show during basketball season but that's it

MLB's national TV contract will be coming up in a few years, dont overpay for it. Low ball if anything. MLB is not popular on National TV outside of the playoffs (which ESPN doesnt have the rights too) so if they walk fukk it.

The only sport they should be trying to pay to air live is College Football, thats their bread and butter imo. Their NBA coverage is awful, the NFL only gives them shytty games, Regular season CBB is dying, nobody cares about the NHL and regular season MLB draws flies nationally.

Pay all that money for garbage. They can't even schedule games right ain't no one gonna give a rats ass about no Detroit vs Indiana 8pm game Wednesday night in March that shyt is DOA. They need to go back to showing some wrasslin during the day whenever I'm at home or at bar chilling these shows are fukking same by the book booking I can't see how anyone can watch this shyt by the time its 1pm on the west coast shyt already beat into the ground. That radio mention isn't a bad idea honestly

Good.

ESPN been garbage for a minute. And they overdid trying to shove the liberal agenda into sports. They gave an award to a fukking tranny just because he was a tranny.

:snoop:



That was the moment ESPN really really fukked up that was disrespectful and an obvious ratings ploy.
