Re: [TV orNotTV] Formula 1: Drive to Survive

I must confess that I have a real problem with the many of the currently produced sports "documentary" series. It's not that they aren't brilliantly made, carefully crafted and deliver a compelling narrative with sumptuous production values. It's that they're officially sanctioned. And if you start

Re: [TV orNotTV] Formula 1: Drive to Survive

Totally agree Adam. This of course has always been the worm at the core of ESPN, which pretends to have a firewall between their journalistic and rights- fees paid sports presentations. I have watched Amazon’s All or Nothing, and HBO’s Hard Knocks. As I say, DTS suffers from a similar problem. But

Re: [TV orNotTV] Fox considering dropping TNF

I would be delighted if they just got rid of Thursday Night Football entirely. The article kind of buried the lead; the cost of broadcasting the NFL is expected to go up 50-80%, which would be a combined total of $4.5 to $5.6 BILLION. The deplorable that own most NFL teams only think in terms no

Re: [TV orNotTV] Fox considering dropping TNF

I always found it amazing that the NFL somehow got networks to pay for Thursday Night Football, but then also sold it to digital outlets like Amazon, but then ALSO kept the rights on their own network. Talk about having your cake and eating it! I guess the reality with most of these sports bodies

There are artists and creative people producing content online who are worthy of recognition. I don’t see any of their names on this list. On Wed, Dec 9, 2020 at 9:10 AM Steve Timko wrote: > > > Is this email not displaying correctly? > View it in your browser >

Lilly Singh went from the Internet to the 1:35 show on NBC, replacing Carson the Tool. The show is on hiatus right now because she wants to wait until they can do it with an audience again. Liza Koshy went from the Internet to hosting Nick's reboot of "Double Dare," which only ran two seasons. S

Re: [TV orNotTV] Fox considering dropping TNF

Just to Adam's point about the possibility of Friday/Saturday games. There is a law in the US that bans professional games from being broadcast on Friday night and all day Saturday from the second Saturday in September to the second Saturday of December. This was designed to protect the gate at hig

Re: [TV orNotTV] Fox considering dropping TNF

In 1961, when the act was passed, it was probably of great concern to high schools and colleges. This was back in the time when the great fear was that TV would hurt the live gate at sporting events. In college (then as now) football revenue is a big source of income. In places where High School s
