Why pause?

Face it. Disney , Hughes & ESPN are Conservative by nature. They just happen to cater to a audience more right wing than the executives are

I'm curious about how that Lebatard meeting went down. Did he just drop his giant contract on the table, signed before the stupid policy was made, and just sit there staring at them? How close did the ESPN suits get to taking a stand against calling out blatant racism? I'm sure the national coverage his segment got had to put pressure on them.

I doubt that the ESPN higher-ups could do much except give him a slap on the wrist, since he runs the most popular show on the network

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I don't know how TruTV keeps plodding along. I watch Impractical Jokers and followed the Chris Gethard show there when it was there so that makes me one of the network's most dedicated watchers but I have been expecting them to flip it to like 24/7 Adult Swim or something for a while.

most of their shows are pretty low budget so it's not like they're breaking the bank, and i'd imagine getting even the afterthought march madness games is more than enough to keep it profitable.

The former poster apparently used to watch their public access and told me about it because I am a big public access TV fan.

Was there an . .. . El Rey season too?

They were on public access then on Fusion and then TruTv. Gethard has a new show on public access now that is just letting NYC comedians do stuff, but I haven't seen it.

Nah, it's not that. They're owned by the same guy that owns PSG, who is also a chairman of the Qatari Sports Initiative, which I think is a government funded thing. In any case, they have a lot of money.

it probably won't shock anyone but the hall of fame game keeps getting fewer and fewer viewers

Sports Media Watch posted:

Thursday’s Broncos-Falcons Pro Football Hall of Fame Game averaged a 4.1 overnight rating on NBC, down 13% from last year (Ravens-Bears: 4.7) and down 24% from Cowboys-Cardinals in 2017 (5.4). The 4.1 is the lowest for the game since it last aired on cable in 2012.

considering those ratings count airports and bars it might be slightly less than 12 people that actually watched it
