Surprised cari champion survived the axe

Nah if u peeped, they kept all the prominent black faces in place, probably because the numbers show black ppl of a certain demographic are still watching TV.. that's why they promoted Cari to morning sportscenter and Mike and Jamelle to evening sportsscenter

Yea i believe them not getting rid of Michael and jamele and moving cari to an earlier spot were strategic moves

ESPN is now rethinking SportsCenter, focusing it around personalities and discussion—not at the cost of highlights and scores, necessarily, but what was traditionally a highlights show is now looking more like a variety show. In addition to heavily promoting the midnight SportsCenter with Van Pelt, in February it gave the 6pm SportsCenter slot to Jemele Hill and Michael Smith, previously the co-hosts of the talk show “His and Hers.” ESPN says SC6 is finding a diverse audience: 41% black, and its reach among black viewers ages 18-34 has increased 15% year over year since Hill and Smith took over.

This is the reality which is have been explaining in other threads for a few years on here. ESPN overpaid for college basketball, NBA, NFL, NCAA football packages in the last round of re-negotiations. And all of them are not living up to the hype for a few reasons.

College Baksetball: One and done culture and the breakup of the big east are making people watch less regular season college baksetball. They paid more and ratings are down per tourney.

NBA: They have mostly eastern conference games and lower quality western conference games despite overpaying to renew the contract. TNT gets the better games during football season and gets the western conference for most of the playoffs which is the better conference.

NFL: Monday night football gets the worse games now due to ESPN going hard at the NFL for concussion stories. And by Monday night east coast guys like me tend to not stay up for the bum ass matchups that start way too late after a weekend of football.

NCAA Football: Still popular but the playoff has certain years where games are played on New Years Eve which lowers viewership. Also despite the playoff the same few teams tend to be in contention. The SEC is not as deep as it was and the Big 12 has fallen off. ESPN launched the SEC network and the Longhorn network right as the SEC fell off and texas fell off in football.

While more people are pulling cable packages and going for streaming the amounts they overpaid for content and the content they getting having these issues is a main reason why they are doing this. Living in CT i have seen some people get laid off at different levels of the company in the last few years and it is unfortunate.

Read an article saying since last year they've hated each other, won't speak or make eye contact off camera even during commercial breaks

 

[Chi-Town Bully]

I read that article. Watching the show they really play it off that everything is fine. If I didn't read it I wouldn't have know they don't like each other.

Don't they have teh world cup alos or is that Fox. I'm sure that was a lot of money

I agree with your point and the issue is here is they have to pay up b/c they need the content.

You can tell Greeny wanted to be a bigger str than just a guy on ESPN. I think he tried to host many game shows. And he was hosting one that failed i think. Like he wanted to be a co host with Kelly Rippa type of dude. Like Strahan. I mean how upset can Golic be his sorry ass son getting a job based off just being his son.

I get Golic's reasoning for being upset. Greeny suppose to be his boy and to not tell him he was leaving the show was mad disrespectful. These dudes had an 18 year partnership and Golic had to hear it from somebody else while Greeny said nothing.
