ESPN Laying Off Additional On-Air Personalities
- Thread starter knowlesjam
- Start date
ESPN Exec's clearly do not understand what their true target market is wanting. It seems like they just went with their favorite personalities and will mold the shows from there.
One of the few names in the whole thread that I recognize. He was good. E$PIN sucks and the executives running it into the ground are a bunch of morons but that hasn't changed.
Most takes on espn content is right on. Too much entertainment and too much of the same topics on every talk show.
- The 6 is horrible, Michael and Jemeel had 2 or 3 failed shows prior to it yet keep getting on.
- Each daily talk show had unique aspects but most now cover the same topics. HQ had great videos (bear chasing biker) but now the same video is on every show.
- M and M now has 4 topics they repear over 4 hours to fill content and have the same guests every oyher show has for the day. As much time as Golic has taken off I thought he might be gone.
That said i liked R and K, Kanell had an honest take on things regardless what others thought.

lol I was actually looking earlier to see if he was still with espn and if he was let go.
They should do live game replays, crazy live content, get rid of poker and gaming and do a real SC again. And i get alot of screen time on phone, pad or laptop.
Listening to Elmore was like listening to Keith Jackson. Will miss him.
Live game replays? So like, just replays?
Jumping in at random. When Bayless/Smith were on "First Take," as part of 1st down, second down etc., they could be engaging with short segments, and focused topics. It was fine to spark sports-talk.
When they got an entire 2-hour show 5 days a week, it was far too much saturation. Eventually it devolved into (1) arguments about Tim Tebow (Bayless; Good; Smith: Bad); (2) arguments about LeBron James (Bayless: Bad. Smith: Good). Bayless happened to be wrong in both cases.

I just hope Fraschilla and Rowe are safe for Big 12 basketball.
This is another interesting case study to me about the difference between those active on social media and other members of society. I've seen nothing but uproar on social media, with people swearing off ESPN. However, I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt that they've done their diligence and apparently the Stephen A. Smith's of the world must still be somewhat of a draw to keep them around while they cut genuine content.

I don't think they've fired any in-game commentators.
