their downsizing is a reflection of a bigger cultural change

2016 Get Here Already

I hope they lose the NBA contract in 2016.

This aint happening unless NBC/ Fox and its affiliates comes to the
Party in a big way in terms of International distribution which is where the future of NBA's incremental riches lie. I don't care either way because of leaguepass.

 

[Scottie Drippin]

NBC, Fox, and Al Jazeera are hiring. With ESPN pedigree they are premium on the job market. They'll be skrait

 

[PortCityProphet]

As someone who works in Television I feel bad for those being fired. Hopefully I won't have to compete against these same people in the job market.

what you do bruh?

 

[mson]

what world do you live in?

ESPN has a monopoly on Sports Television and Online.... they make billions per year

No they don't. CBS, NBC and Fox each have channels dedicated to sports now.

[SuburbanPimp]

they need to cut all these espn channels

espn news and espon 3, 4 or whatever they are up to now


and they need to cut back on statisticians that give these retarded ass stats like did you know arod is the best in the mlb when leading off in the 3rd inning on wednesday during a new moon in the month of august

I agree, its too much... Maybe just keep ESPN 2, but ESPN NEWS and ESPNU aren't really even necessary IMO
