being bad at analysis and pushing a political narrative isn't profitable apparently

huh

most of the people getting laid off are behind the camera people, not announcers, analysts, hosts

>>75464584
No m8

The initial layoff was 300 camera operators and board operators and such. This one is specificaly on camera talent. Hosts and analysts. Contract buyouts expected.

>>75464636
How in the world can you afford to lay off 300 camera operators. How many do they have?

>>75464692
Have you seen how many college football games are streamable on watchespn

>>75464783
I sometimes change the channel when the radio shit comes on like Lebatard or Mike n Mike. They alone have like 20 people minimum in production.

They've also lost a lot of viewers and subscriptions so they're losing profits.

>>75468662
They do that even when things are fine

They're going to just layoff all the white people

Michael Smith, Jemele Hill, Stephen A Smith, Linda Cohn, Doris Burke, Jessica Mendoza off the top of my head can all go bye bye. You also don't need a 3 team booth anymore. Too much yackety yack. Sideline reporters can go to. You don't need to interview a coach or manager right before the game starts or talk to them before/after halftime.

>>75469602

they aren't going to get rid of Hill already when they have invested so much to make the "6" as obnoxious as it is.

Unless it has hurt them enough, does anyone know the ratings/figures for it?

Skip gets like 5 viewers on FS1. If he was that big of a draw he would be doing better than that.

>>75471325

Won't happen. There's some law in America that ESPN must be on in every single bar/gym/office/public place

>>75468662
They already did. At least the seasonal pass for disney world went up. I just renewed.

>>75471342
5 viewers and Shannons granmawmaw

I hope it includes all the foreign cunts on ESPN FC. They should be arrested and deported immediately.

>>75471436

no one watches FS1 either you fucking dope

I just flat out don't understand why ESPN needs to have live sportscenters on so often. They know that people aren't really coming there to watch highoights since they can get them online now.

Just have like three Sportscenters. One in the morning that you replay on down hours until ATH/PTI.

One post-ATH/PTI that you replay in empty space until the Van Pelt midnight one, and replay that one or whatever all night

Get rid of the los angeles studio.

They are just so stuck, because they have to have live sports rights to stay alive as a sports channel, but the fees are not equivocating with a drop in cable subscriptions.

>>75470137
unironically this
the network is dying so they will do what all dying companies do and pander solely to minorities and talk about how diverse they are, which strangely attracts white libshits

>>75469602

I hope you're not serious

ESPN is owned by Disney. Disney is owned by Jews. If anything, Trump would make ESPN great again. Most likely won't happen tho. The Jews will continue to put SJW's and feminists on ESPN. So glad I was never a subscriber

If Tony or Mike are gone I'm done forever

No one cares what the coaches have to say during the game. They're all Belichick in that regard. Better off just showing replays.

espn is failing because the core concept of the channel is obsolete, all of their shows are replaced by the Internet. the only thing they have left is live sports.

Racists like Jemele Hill, Bomani Jones, and Sarah Spain have to go first.

>>75469909
Less subscribers and leagues charging more each year to broadcast their games so their profits are dropping. FS1 is losing subscribers also just because people are just cutting cords all the time. Anyone that thinks it unironically has to do with politics/sjw's is delusional.

>>75470432
she also talked about when sliding to base the runner should act like they got to base before a tag because the umps look at the player's actions

recipie for success for ESPN:

1) Have only 1 sportscenter, played in the morning recapping what happened the day before and setting a schedule for what is to come

2)Use ESPN 2 STRICTLY for memetastic shows like around the horn and PTI (fyi, if you watch that shit, youre a sheep being told what to think)

3)Play live sports on ESPN.

4) Become the worldwide leader in sports again

5) Have it continuous, only commercial breaks at timeouts, and breaks in play.

6) On stupid random, slow moving days, play crazy shit like badmitton or extreme chess.

7) ???

8) Profit


honest to god, its not that hard to become profitable. just broadcast sports. literally thats all you need to do. is broadcast sports. Not become a sports news channel. you have a multitude of sports to choose from, and many more without broadcasting contracts in which you could literally set the price for.

So far, your biggest are as follows: MLB, NBA, Masters, shitty football games (no MNF), and Wimbledon.

Do you really dump all of your cash on these? the Masters and Wimbledon are kinda fucking retarded too, theyre literally memes. you need to give the NHL a contract, you need to expand worldwide and show cool shit like olympic meme type sports. deathmarch every now and then didnt hurt anyone.

Im just saying, and this wont reach the right people ever, but theyve really gone off on a tangent here with these sensationalized meme shows with retarded faggots spewing retarded shit for a larger audience.

I mean that shit was cool in 07 because it was new, it was a fresh meme, but this shit isnt fresh anymore. its an old meme..

go back to sports. for gods sake

Pls no, him and Lowe are the only guys I like.

I love sports as much as the next guy, but if the NFL isn't on, the talk wears thin very quick on those 3/4 hour radio shows.

I hear Mike and Mike will probably split, too

>>75478019
You clearly never even tried Dan's radio show, right? They talk about everything OTHER than sports. Stugotz just joked about how everyone is pretending to know about a BYU safety who might go on day 3.

>>75478030

I've seen/heard it plenty of times. I know his is probably the easiest to sit through because of the rants and constant shitposting on Twitter, but for as loose and fun as it is it sure loves to delve into hour long racebait rants. Then Dan gets to reply to the dumbasses online and pretend to be hilarious.

>>75478055
American sports media is either racebait rants or racebait 1950's comedy. I mean, all Fox Sports has to offer on sports talk is SKEEEEUPP, and that is laughing at black face.

>the Masters and Wimbledon are kinda fucking retarded too, theyre literally memes.

special attraction events with niche audiences and virtually no scheduling conflicts with the other "major" sports, making it maybe one of the few "smart" (not completely retarded) things they do

Disney would be smart to let ESPN die in the next few years and then re-brand it as an online streaming service.

Cable TV is going the way of the dodo. Once the boomers die off, TV will too. Just like newspapers.

Start a streaming service with comment sections, forums, memes, and new forms of social interactions. Give bars deals on streaming packages too.

Disney can either get dragged kicking and screaming into the future, or adapt before it's too late.

the reason why ESPN is failing is because of cable cutting. no, retards, people aren't dropping ESPN subscriptions because it's now "SJW garabge", people can't singularly cancel their ESPN subscriptions

sports broadcast fees are skyrocketing while cable subscriptions plummet. how the fuck do you expect ESPN to keep buying and airing more sports when they will have to keep paying more and more for rights fees while their subscription revenue keeps dropping?
