Re: Trouble at Bally Sports

It looks like MLB is being proactive about life without Bally's. Even if that company can be saved it seems likely they won't be broadcasting baseball games. Who knows if BSD will have the Pistons and Wings next year?

Yeah Burleson missed 7 games due to that traffic accident and it was his last year in the NFL. He was already on the decline and was positioning himself for his post football career in media at that time.

I think streaming a 5pm on the weekends would bring in negligible revenue.

Re: Sandra Ali

Pure speculation here, she was offered a bad contract renewal with a take it or leave it attitude from upper management, so she left it.

I have no idea what actually happened, just an educated guess.

Re: Weekend Evening News

Is there an audience to make that profitable? If so it would have happened by now. Doing an hour at 5 would require permanent staffing of at least 2 more reporters and photographers as well as a show producer and that show would be preemted on a fairly regular basis. In union stations you can't jerk...

I see a very young Anu Prakash in one of those old photos. I miss her and want her back on TV, if they didn't open the checkbook and make Anu a serious offer then they aren't serious about competing.

Re: And then there's this....

Not always, the stations are putting on twice the amount of content with more graphics and a third of the staff.

A good source told me today that the Sony ELC is not communicating with the Grass Valley and graphics gear yet and they are effortting to get those issues fixed so that they can start rehearsals. Because using a fully manned control room is just crazy talk.

Re: 2023 predictions

2023 is not a political year so it will be tough year revenue wise for the commercial broadcast stations. If advertising from online gambling drops off then layoffs and cuts could happen.
