Pretty much. For me, it's El Rey Network on work from home days since they just show a lot of old horror/action movies that range from awesome to hilariously terrible.

e: So at what point does Horowitz get shitcanned by Fox? They're paying him a load of money as well as the talent he's bringing in and the money they're spending is really better off being lit on fire at this point.

Well, who would replace Horowitz? Who do you get to make FS1 get more viewers?

I don't know what I'd do if my cable provider didn't number all the sports channels together. Is this really a problem where people can't find channels?

For reference, TWC puts the sports channels from 300-450, with ESPN being 300 and FS1 being 400. It's impossible to forget those two and their '2's, which are one number up each.

There are two paths to this.

1) Greenberg hosts his own version of SportsCenter, which, no harm no foul

2) ESPN stoops to FS1's level and makes a show to take out their upcoming morning show

They should really just go back to 1 hour. This year's show was a massive improvement, but still too long at 90 minutes. While I'm happy they released the bracket early, I bet a lot of people tuned out afterwards, because the final hour was basically dead air.

E: Also there's no reason to use the NBA TNT crew. Literally nobody cares about Barkley's college basketball opinions. Just stick to the guys who actually watch the sport year-round.

Here's the issue: Turner Sports doesn't do regular season college basketball. The four major networks' sports divisions all have contracts to basketball's power 7 conferences.
