Oso planning to go pro
Something that results in fewer major college and pro sports being available on TV (or some other easily accessible platform) for me to watch.As I sit here today, on 1/23/21, I am not concerned.
This. I utilize a lot of streaming services but I refuse to watch Marquette games or Packers games on those services. It's far easier and I don't have to deal with the anxiety of a potential bad WiFi connection.
I used to have occasional outages or slowdowns when I had traditional cable-based internet, but I switched to fiber optic several months back and haven't had any problems. It's nice not having to worry about high demand by other users in my area.
This will never happen with streaming. Soon you'll be able to watch every high school game in the country too (if not now).
Did not realize in 2020, NBC closed Golf Channel operations in Florida and moved to Stamford.
NBCUniversal’s Peacock has struck a five-year deal worth more than $1 billion for exclusive streaming rights to World Wrestling Entertainment content. WWE Network now under Peacock
Man. Pour one out for everyone going from handling golf coverage in Florida to WWE coverage in Stamford in the years of our lord 2020-2021.
You have the same issue when you Zoom (or whatever service you use) with your office/employees/boss?
We already know that ESPN is hemorrhaging subscribers and laying off staff regularly.https://www.primetimer.com/barnhart/mnfBut like so many other things happening in “these unprecedented times” (another nonsense phrase), COVID is merely accelerating a trend that was underway before the pandemic. Namely, the death of cable, or at least the death of ESPN as a premium cable brand.
Just read this little snippet ...CNN was the top-rated cable news network in prime time in 2020. It ranked 2nd among all cable networks behind ESPN with an average of 3.1 million viewers.In other words, ESPN is the most-watched network of any kind.
I don't much about this stuff, but CBS, NBC and ABC don' average 3.1 million viewers? Or is it because ESPN averages that 24 Hours/day and the big networks don't program that much?
CBS, NBC and ABC aren't considered "cable" network. I think they are classified as "over-the-air broadcast" or something like that.
I was responding to "network of any kind," but I figured it must have excluded broadcast networks. Thanks for responding.
