GobiasIndustries posted:It is one of my favorite sports events ever. I was on the phone with my dad watching live talking about how it sucked to lose and then......magic happened My parents had a wedding that day and my dad convinced my mom to let him watch the game in a nearby hotel. He missed the entire ceremony and cocktail hour because it was like a 4 hour game and he was about to leave when it happened. He actually called me screaming in excitement 30 seconds ahead of my stream so it was spoiled for me slightly.

Advertisers are literally (literally) the only reason anything at all is aired on television You should give at least a single gently caress because without them every single sport would be either un-viewable on any device or require an insanely expensive direct-stream subscription Without advertising there aren't professional sports

The TV Companies have to sell ads in order to make it back (and make their own money). It's not required by God's own word, and the trend can be reversed pretty simply.

Why would stations stop selling ads even if they got rights for free?

If you don't have a ratings box or diary and aren't watching online you probably aren't actually giving them ratings anyway, if that makes you feel better.

So yeah, I know my radio.com listen probably doesn't mean much, and I actually like Connor McKnight, but I haven't listened since I found out Goff was being let go.
