December 14, 20178 yr http://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/21766966/disney-fox-deal-add-22-regional-sports-networks-espn FS Florida and Sun Sports are now gonna be under the Disney/ABC/ESPN umbrella. discuss.
December 14, 20178 yr I hope Mickey hires Rich and Tommy. Yeah keep wishing , they'll be a bunch of Goofys
December 14, 20178 yr I hope Mickey hires Rich and Tommy. Mickey's not doing the hiring. He is the owner but he's letting Donald, a former SS for the local baseball team, do all the moves.
December 14, 20178 yr Angels in the Outfield? Jeter got his movies mixed up and we wound up with The Rookies in the Outfield.
December 14, 20178 yr This could potentially be bad if they go the direction of ESPN, which is a total joke right now. Laying people off and losing money. lol, espn is not in any way shape or form losing money. they happen to be making less money than they were at one point, but that is completely different than losing money.
December 14, 20178 yr Author This could potentially be bad if they go the direction of ESPN, which is a total joke right now. Laying people off and losing money. I'm already scared of seeing a clip of Stephen A Smith screaming every commercial break
December 14, 20178 yr I'm not saying they are operating at a budgetary loss in the sense that the Marlins have been. "Operating" seems generous there.
December 14, 20178 yr That's just semantics. They are losing subscribers because of cord cutting in particular and other things. Losing subscribers is losing revenue, which is losing money based on their operating budget. Hence the massive layoffs. But I'm not saying they are operating at a budgetary loss in the sense that the Marlins have been. that's not semantics. losing money is different than making less money than they were before.
December 15, 20178 yr It's semantics because it doesn't alter the overall point I was making. ESPN isn't nearly as flush as it was 5 years ago. Much of that has to do with cord cutting, but their poor decision making in programming and their inability to adapt their content in accordance with new changes in the media world have a lot to do with it. Speaking only on recent experiences with ESPN, I used to always watch the 6pm Sportscenter everyday (b/c the local news just blows). The "new and improved" SC is now a nightly attempt at shoving a social disparity discussion into my brain. Not what I am looking for and I am guessing that a majority of guys in my demographic feel the same way. Just a thought on another reason why ESPN isn't making as much money as they used to. Also they need to get the NHL back on ESPN.
December 15, 20178 yr I hope they add roller coasters for every MLB team. The Marlins one will go 3/4 of the way up and then straight down and repeat.
