ESPN or ESPN2 used to show a simulcast of TSN or whatever network airs it in Canada during like late July or early August when the only major sport on would be baseball or maybe preseason NFL games. I’d always randomly see it every year and maybe put part of a game on in the background now and then.

Can't see how they do maintain. Even if they draw more general NHL fans, it's going to be tough to make up for the local team only fans that drop. They lost Boston, LA, NY1, and the past 2 Champs. And the 2 biggest remaining ratings draws, both in terms of team fanbase and players people have heard of (if the league actually knew how to market players) have 0 local value to ESPN/TNT.

Even lost Minny who could have at least juiced local numbers.

When was his biopic? Late ‘90s? That’s when these kids were born. A 30-year-old would have been an infant when somebody Baba Booey’d the OJ Simpson chase. And he’s learning that not having a free/cheap national broadcast platform leads to being out of sight, out of mind (albeit as a legend at the bank).

Hoo hoo Robin, I invented basketball.
I haven't heard one second of Stern since he bolted to satellite but before that it was appointment listening for me.

Seems to me he has become the very thing he raged hard against in the 90's.
He has become Don Imus.

Howard suffers from the same thing all of us eventually succumb to, the game changed and he couldn't keep up.

His moniker King of All Media always felt hollow to me because he didn't take the internet seriously when it was being a game changer even in the early days (BTW, the WWW portion just turned 30 as a public domain platform). He's a radio legend (even if I thought O&A were better) and had some success in Film, TV and Books but time has rendered his core platform irrelevant with radio only useful for sports and bashing Democrats.

Let him have his millions of dollars but his cultural influence ended on October 6, 2004; The day he announced he was leaving for Sirius. He bet satellite radio was the future and he was wrong when podcasts became the main audio platform and even then the pod in podcast is now irrelevant too.

The new influencers haven't grown up listening to him and barely know he exists in the present. They weren't born in the 20th century and 9/11 only exists in history. I loathe TikTok since it's ultimately owned by the CCP but right now, it's the dominant platform and that's where the influence is until something else comes along.
