Scott Van Pelt is watchable on the late addition of Sports Center.

Sounds like America in 2020.

Yeah, Viacom is making an absolute killing on their reality shows and have for years on end. I have music on all of those shows and a good friend of mine wrote the Theme Song for the Teen Mom shows, so he's been making a killing for more than a decade.

Look for the same type of shows on TNT and TBS in the coming years because they're switching to Reality TV while all of their scripted shows and repeats move to HBO Max.

From my understanding, ESPN is trying to skew younger with their talk shows and plan to add more content for that demographic.

I subscribe to ESPN, ESPN 2 and ESPN+ and I really couldn't care less about the majority of their programming outside of sports and haven't watched Sportscenter in ages.

I did like NFL Primetime with Berman and Jackson last year on ESPN+, although I don't care for the re-records of the classic music from the 80's because they just didn't capture that sound, IMO.

Sample libraries and scooped guitars just sound weird to my ears, probably because I've heard the original versions for decades but regardless, I didn't care for their production choices with the new versions.

My apologies for going off the thread topic: VH-1 airs all of the MTV videos from the 80's these days in one or two hour blocks, although it's not broadcast in High Def, let alone, 4K, so it's a bit of an adjustment.

That said, watching all of those videos is super fun because the music, clothes and artists were super fun. It's definitely a trip back in time.

It would be good to take a trip back in time to the 80's right about now.

When I flip the stations I won't know the difference between BET or ESPN

I wanna see your face painted black. Black as night, black as coal.
Is it ok with you if the athletes are black?

Haven't had ESPN in about several years now. I do have ESPN+, but that's about it. Not surprised that they jumped the shark.

I run a bar game that is basically Bingo with 45 second song clips. Had a 90s category last night and had forgotten how many butchered covers there were.

Not a layoff, but ESPN losing a high profile reporter to Fox...

Tom Rinaldi, one of ESPN’s top on-air reporters, is leaving for Fox, where he is expected to be featured across all of its major events from the Super Bowl to the World Series to the World Cup and college football, according to sources.

ESPN guys banned from McAfee's show.

So what I take from this is ESPN still sucks, yes?
