General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

[Hoss]

It's been some pleasant days this last week

 

[R-Troop]

they have the same potential viewers is the sad thing tho, like there's very few cable or streaming options that include ESPN but not FS1. But if you look at average viewership, it's a massacre lol it's too late now but proper marketing could have kept it afloat better

It's not just homes. ESPN is a better channel lineup. Typically FS1 is high up on the (proverbial) dial. Also, ESPN has a more varied daily lineup with a coffee table show (Get Up), 2 hours of Talking Head debate (Stephen A don't shut up), 2 hours of a Talk Radio (McAfee), and Sportscenter. Fox just has Talking Head Debate. Also ESPN has an infinite number of live events too, even during midday

yeah and I'm saying FS1 not having all of those things (except the placement on the guide that's a good point) are mostly their fault bc they mismanaged the potential they had

10 years ago Fox had a lot more exclusive sports too that they've since lost, not to ESPN necessarily but when things like Netflix or prime

 

[Chris]

So that part isn't really their fault either but they just lagged behind so long when they had a chance to compete

used to be tons of baseball at least I'm p sure

 

[Big Jean Studd]

ESPN is just a symptom of monopolization and amalgamation of media. Break it all down

 

[Big Jean Studd]

I give it 10-20 years before the big reset

 

[Big Jean Studd]

This shit ain't sustainable

 

[Barry Poppins]

One would hope

 

[Looji Nagata]

The big reset being one company owning all the networks

 

[Barry Poppins]

Also ESPN outside of sports actually sucks

 

[Doom]

Also ESPN outside of sports actually sucks

And that's the truth.
