BLOODBATH AT ESPN STARTING THIS WEEK

Cable is losing subscribers, not specifically ESPN. Why is this so hard to understand?

>will cut all white men and people slightly right leaning politically
>will promote brain dead naggers and sjw's
>people will keep screaming in thier face that they just want to watch sports and not politics
>they wont change anything

>>75499973

It's not just that cable is losing subscribers, it's that ESPN's entire business model is based on cable subscriber fees. And with a super liberal agenda being pushed on the network, they're losing viewers and ad revenue.

No other network is as reliant on people subscribing to cable and watching their stations as ESPN.

>>75499976
maybe if they had coverage of actual leagues then maybe. I mean they are a """""sports""""" network right?

They totally killed the Sportscenter brand. It used to be on every morning when I was getting ready and I'd turn it on when I got home and was getting something to eat. It was a staple in my life since I was a little kid.

I honestly can't remember the last time I watched Sportscenter. It's been at least 2 years.

And I cancelled my cable because of ESPN's leftist nonsense. Why is that so hard to understand?

>>75499917
>turn from a sports network to a liberalism network
Can anyone explain this one to me? I have no idea what's going on at ESPN

>>75499973
That's the main reason.

But it's also true that they are alienating viewers needlessly during a time when they need all the ratings they can get.

goodbye, gruden

>>75500035
The quality has deteriorated sure, but honestly Sportscenter is pretty fundamentally outdated

>>75500081
Haha, no. Just show the Fucking highlights of the games. We don't need a bunch of idiots discussing meaningless shit.

They were bought by the disney jews, everything disney buys turns into hardcore sjw propaganda, marvel comics, star wars, etc.

It failed with ESPN because people watch sports to get away from politics

>They could cut 70 people

this is going to be fun

>>75500042
What do you have now?

>>75500050
Clay Travis (who writes about this alot) speculated that it's because Disney's CEO wants to run against Trump in 2020, and having a SJW ESPN is a way to beef up his street cred with Democrat voters.

>>75500081

A little, but there's still a place for a highlight show. If they just ran through highlights of all the action like they used to, I'd be watching.

Now it's the six with jemele hill and that other dude making pop culture references and interviewing rappers. Gay as fuck.

My barber used to always have ESPN on...now it's mostly the golf channel.

>>75500050
They show a lot of politically fueled content and discussion tangentially related to sports, but people don't turn on sports networks to see and hear those things, they tune in to relax after work and get caught up on the games of the previous day

>>75500081
>show the Fucking highlights of the games

But you can get highlights of any game instantly online. Why sit through commercials and an hour-long TV show?

That's why Sportscenter is outdated. Honestly, anything but live sports are outdated as well.

>>75499917
Cable has been dying that why they tried to become something different with more web appeal and such

>>75500163
>We don't need a bunch of idiots discussing meaningless shit.

I don't disagree, but isn't filling airtime with this much cheaper? Showing nothing but highlights doesn't work because people can just use a computer now and not sit through the shit they don't care about.

There's two sports with a white majority. Hockey and baseball. ESPN doesn't cover either

>since I was a little kid

thats the thing. What was that, 10-15 years ago?

I literally wake up sometimes, shut off my alarm, and right to espn.com as my eyes are still adjusting to see who won the late playoff game or whatever. Yeah as a kid, i remember waiting on ESPN, waiting for it to reach MLB on the bottomline, then waiting for it to show my team. if i was lucky i could see the highlights as well if they showcased it as i watched. They can't compete with the instant results we can find ourselves.

>>75500270
according to he jews that run the mead 80% of america is black and transsexual*


*please ignore all those white people that dont live in new york or california

The real question is: Will FS1 pick up the laid off?

I think they're starting to crack. I turned on SC last night and there was some hipster band playing a song in their studio.

>>75500303
FS1 blows too. It's just ESPN lite at this point, minus any real highlight shows.

It's not really. It's shifted to just being more black and urban culture focused, which I guess equals liberalism.

The best part about this is watching when Mike and Meshugganah are fired.

Barry Melrose is the only safe white guy right? Since he's their only hockey correspondent.

>>75500303
lol no. The thing people are seeming to ignore here is that every cable channel is feeling this same amount of heat. ESPN's fall only happens to look huge because of how big a share of the market they had. ESPN is reacting the cable cutting first, but they won't be the only company to find trouble in the next few years. The dinosaurs of TV are toast.

>>75500334
The problem is they overdosed it to the point of annoyance.

There's been an 'urban' presence just naturally in mainstream Sports for decades, but they went full BET.

And even blacks don't like Jamele Hill and Smith

What's also hurt Sportscenter is the "NFL Live" type shows that herd all single-sport fans to those programs. If I only care about football, why would I waste my time sitting through NBA stuff on SC?

I binged watched on espn classic constantly

Is it really that bad down there lads? Canada is pretty Liberal but TSN seems to stay away from politics. We have quite a few Pajeet on our sports networks but other than that the focus in pretty much all on sports

>>75500356

This. Sports are pretty much the only thing I watch on TV anymore, and that's only because online streaming for sports is either too expensive (if you decide to pay the league for it) or too unreliable and risky (if you try your luck with third-party sites).

I loved that the NFL streamed some of their TNF games on Twitter last year, but now you have to have an Amazon Prime subscription for this year.

>>75500486

It's really bad. ESPN made the decision to pander to SJWs and feminists, neither of whom watch sports. EVERY program pushes the same liberal agenda. The only tolerable thing to watch there is a live sporting event.

>>75500486
>quite a few Pajeet
that's worse than us
at least our minorities play(ed) the sports they talk about

Thank god for based TSN

>>75500486
The main reason for this has nothing to do with political leanings, and everything to do with people simply not subscribing to cable TV services anymore. ESPN just happened to be the channel that got the most money per subscription from cable service companies. Now they will suffer the most and will need to lower overhead costs. Easiest way to do this is to fire expensive "talent".

Hmm

I've posted before about how euro ESPN is a good sports channel.

They show PTI and Around the Horn. Everything else is live sports, highlights or 30 for 30. Somehow ESPN still hasn't worked out that this is a winning formula.

>>75500605

Sjw were a mistake

Haven't watched espn in like 3 years

FAKE NEWS if anything some beat reporters no one cares about will be layed off but everyone in here expecting a salting of the earth will be disappointed.

While I think the sjw shit might be part of this, I really don't think this is the main reason for why ESPN is cutting people now. I mean fox sports isn't overly liberal and they stick to sports yet their numbers are worse than ESPN. Shows like speak for yourself and undisputed barely bring in viewers

We're not asking you to go full MAGA and turn rightwing, we're asking you to shut the fuck up and talk about sports.

Is it that hard jews.

I mean, come on

>>75500486
it's only really sportscenter that people are mad about. as kids we all grew up watching it over breakfast or when we got home, before every highlight was immediately uploaded on the internet and I can see it on my phone literally seconds after something happens. peopled continued to watch it despite the internet because hearing some guy yelling meme shit over them is more fun and it's just relaxing to sit and see it all aggregated.

ESPN conflated cable cutting and falling ratings with their programming being "out-of-touch" so they started talking about social media and other crap to appeal to a younger demographic. then disney bought them and they went full retard with literal #blacklivesmatter coverage and they shoved all these young black literal who's into the spotlight, over the goofy white guys who built their following in the first place.

>>75500614
They dont show midday sports. From 1am-7pm, it is very rare to find sports on ESPN. You get those very rare divegrass international games at like 3pm-ish. the rare wednesday mlb games at 1pm. that might be it.

>>75500614
the jews have an agenda to push, even if they lose money.
People in middle america living paycheck to paycheck, working 3 part time jobs just to live in a one room apartment dont want to be lectured to by some self hating lib faggot or nigger about being privileged.

These people live in a bubble.

>>75500035
Same to all of this, except it's been far more than 2 years since I last watched sportscenter. Closer to 5 or 6. I don't think there's anything they could do to win me back, but what do they care? I'm not their target audience, I'm a mid 30's white male. (Cisgendered Shitlord)

>>75500614
This is the way it ought to be. PTI and Around the Horn are the only good shows left on ESPN.

>>75500042
its not, but its also essentially inconsequential. ESPN hasn't performed worse than its peers. You guys attributing it primarily to alleged liberalism are a great example of confirmation bias

Believe it or not , people want to see sports news and highlights on a sports network. That's like saying that the evening news format is outdated.

Even worse, now Sportscenter has the same format as the 2 shows that come on before it, the '2 to 4 people give hot takes on the 5 biggest stories of the day' format. They are cannibalizing their own ratings for that block. Nobody is going to watch 2 hours of forced studio banter, so they're going to pick either the first hour, or SC6 if they want less sports coverage and decent banter, and more discussion about things posted on Twitter and Instagram.

Ironically, ESPN is one of the biggest reasons for cord cutting. Young people realized they were paying 5 dollars a month on their cable bill just for ESPN, with no way to cancel it. ESPN used the jew magic to embed themselves on every basic cable package. It made everyone rethink the concept of paying 60 dollars a month for 100 channels when the average person only watches 5 channels consistently.

In response, ESPN is trying to mass appeal to a group that's most likely to not even own a television.

>tfw based ESPN Deportes doesn't have any SJW bullshit
Lmao, amerilards are cucked

>>75501123

It's actually around 7 per month, for every cable/sat subscriber.

next most expensive channel is TBS at around 2 dollars.

We first cut cable back in 2005 for the fact that other than sports and around 5 other channels we never really watched much tv. When i was in college I would just leave Espn or Cartoon network running in the background cause nothing else was worth watching. We just got a Directv Att cable package with 200 or so channels, and surprise, we only watch sports and 5-8 other channels.

>>75500605

>>75500050
In the US, all network cable providers were required to include ESPN with your cable tv subscription, even the most basic package. They charged exorbant fees. Those fees were used to purchase exclusive broadcast rights to all the major sporting leagues in the US.

When more and more people began to "cut the cord" and cancel ESPN, the network got deperate. They literally threw anything at the wall to see if it sticks. The result is a series of strange, combative "talk shows" pitting opposites together or awkward, forced buddy-buddy interactions. They strayed from highlight driven content to more divisive, opinionated content.

If you watch ESPN Deportes it's what ESPN English should've been like. Actual sports discussions ranging from football to soccer to hockey to polo to tennis to everything.

>>75501738

ESPN, aside from premium channels, is the only cable channel that is THAT reliant on subscriber fees. That's why they're 7 times more expensive than 95% of cable networks per month. It's also why they've been able to bid on everything like the NFL, CFP, golf majors, NBA, MLB, tennis majors, etc.

They have bigger bills than anyone.

>Why can't hockey be popular in the states?
a combination of bad decisions and not enough diversity. The '04 season getting cancelled and ESPN not renewing the rights was the nail in the coffin. Blacks are scared to enjoy a sport that's dominated by whites and would rather play basketball and football, two sports that are cheaper and have much more black talent. I agree that the Stanley Cup playoffs are much better but it'll never get out of that niche market. There was a point in time when Hockey was actually getting big but the bubble popped.

>>75502564
>It isn't diverse enough
There's some Indian players, and people from khazistan or that one middle eastern hockey nation. Then there's subban, ho-sang, song, ward, Simmons, the other subban, Chris Gibson, and jones. It still is fun, but that makes SJW's mad for some reason

And the lockout did screw over the league. It makes teams start to die out in years, making dynasties a thing of the past practically. If there's one thing, I'm sorta glad Vegas got a team, but they need fans, and fast

>>75502564
>The '04 season getting cancelled and ESPN not renewing the rights was the nail in the coffin.

This is why ESPN treats it like it doesn't exist. They spent a fortune on fucking monday night football but won't pay a penny for NHL games. I hope they go broke.

>>75502631
Diversity in america means more blacks anon. Also there's no need for a Vegas team. I give it 10 years at best, literally Thrashers tier. Bettman keeps trying to expand but the talent pool just isn't big enough for expansion.

>>75502702
I guess. But the most logical place is Quebec or Seattle. I'd even give Utah a shot, but they need a arena to hold hockey. It's a unusual state where the NHL wants to get a franchise in Vegas, but the NFL just fucked them over. They need to be very good just to gain fans. Think floridas 1996 cup run, but with
more scrap players and maybe fleury

>>75502681

Hartford could support more then Vegas and they could be a success. At best, move the hurricanes to somewhere that can produce a profit. Maybe Green Bay or Kansas City, or even Houston. They'd create more revenue then Vegas and florida

I wish the Whalers were back tbqh. Conneticut is always that state that can't make up it's mind so giving them a team was a great idea. You could market the shit out of "the battle of New England".

>>75504830
And ESPN is the #1 watched sports channel in the country.

Viewership isn't determined by how many people view one channel relative to all others. Cable television is losing massive amounts of subscribers. That affects all channels.

ALLOW ME TO RETORT:

To constantly push out interesting coverage, hire "personalities" who no one cares about with intent to maie your network more entertainment than sports-- this is a push to make money with lower overheard. That's a Republican decision.

It surely saved them money while increasing revenues, but that doesn't last forever. Eventually you have to produce good product. ESPN failed because they put profits over quality content.

>>75505268
>That's a Republican decision

This has more to do with ESPN's fall than anything. ESPN lives and dies by the cable subscribers. it's their entire business model.

Cable isn't a popular way to make money anymore. it is going the way of the newspaper. Millennials and Gen-Z don't give a flying fuck about ESPN, blatant liberal bias or not.

It's the most expensive cable channel by a mile, has very little important programming outside of sports events and highlights, and it can't compete with online sources.

Why would anyone watch sportscenter when they can find all of their desired info and highlights on twitter in under a minute?


If Disney wants ESPN to survive, it should move a majority of their content online. Interactive game streams ala twitch, forums, better news feeds, instant access to highlights, etc. That may not be what traditional sports fans like, but that is where the money is right now.

>>75503496
>We still don't give a shit.
We are getting fed up with mediocrity after several flashes of brilliance in the 2000s. We would go to more games if A) the average prices matched the attendance figures (last place) and B) the concessions weren't so god damned expensive. That's assuming they continue to fail to make the playoffs. If they get a decent team together again people will go back to paying whatever the jagovs at the box office ask.

No, hockey just isn't interesting. There is always a significantly popular sport on tv whenever hockey is on, which forces it to be a niche sport. And just like soccer, it depends on foreigners (Canadians for hockey, illegal Mexican immigrants for soccer).

>>75502159

The real answer is because the middle class is disappearing and America is on a slide into a third world hell hole.

The middle class, regardless of race, are the ones who play hockey. You need equipment and a family that isn't working a combined 120 hours a week to bring you to the rink early in the morning. When the base of people playing a given sport dry up, the base of people watching that sport will dry up as well.

This is the same reason movie theaters are on the way out too. No one ever seems to want to point out the problem behind all of this is that the middle class is shrinking, people don't have the disposable income that they had even 20 years ago, people are working more hours to make ends meet. So they have less money and less time and here we are.

>Super hot asian woman interviewing super hot black woman, neither of which were athletes
>Send it back to latino talking head in studio
>Who then interviewed overweight middle aged white woman

So they've clearly got a check list and are working off a quota system which anyone with a brain can see a mile away.

They've also killed all of their legit personalities from over the years, because they want to push the "brand" and not individual talented people.

Where are the Olbermans? Where is Kenny Mayne? Where are the Stuart Scotts? Where is Bill Simmons? Craig Kilborne?

ESPN shouldn't have shunned hockey. Hockey fans are considerably more affluent than those of other mainstream sports.

Good riddance. Disney was already thinking of selling it and it seems like that will be happening in the next few years

>they actually fired a woman
THE ABSOLUTE MADME-

>she was white

oh, nvm

Im a cynical 4chan cunt but i dont ever enjoy things like these. Except i cant hide my joy at this one superlib soccer guy who was pretty much Reddit personified whenever he disagreed with someone. Irony is i always thought his work was useless on top of the smug numale attitude, so this was one that espn actually got objectively right.

These firings are all about making the company look financially more stable before disney sells it

Who'd want to buy a massive money-loser?

I just heard someone say Buchigross is kil as well

People generally don't cheer firings, but ESPN was almost singlehandedly responsible for the increase in cable subscription rates.

Why are amercans so dumb and why do they hate the left so much? You would think a nation which fought and died against the nazis would be more wary of fascism but they suck on it as if it were ambrosia.

His contract was up. They're just not renewing it.

I stopped watching ESPN years ago, but I fucking hate that channel and pretty much everyone who works there, so pardon me for not giving a fuck and enjoying this day

>nose piercing

>>75509995
Only a hypersensitive snowflake would stop watching a channel they otherwise enjoyed because the channel dipped its toe into politics.

>>75509995
He's a fat fuck and a troll. If he were white he'd literally be /sp/: the tv personality

>>75510031
>Wants to watch sports to escape politics
>Sports channel starts covering politics
>Not allowed to get upset over this

>>75510031
not if it was so blatantly obvious that it bled into literally all the coverage. i understand what you mean on top people here being how they are but be reasonable.

>>75510031
Fuck back off to reddit faggot

>>75509993
Really i would say a vast majority of Americans dont give much of a shit and go about our days. But its the ones who are on the far left or right that are always yelling and scremaing at each other that draw attention and drive their agendas.

>ESPN pays so little attention to Hockey that since there were no games last night that the season was over so they gutted what was left of their coverage.
