Harry Chappas Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Can ESPNn show all three game at once on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN Classic on Wednesday. That would be a baseball bonanaza as far as markets go. New York Boston Chicago Los Angeles Houston Atlanta The games are carried locally at these times as well on local channels for prime time ratings. Does this make to much sense to actually do?

Gene Honda Civic Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Your cutting your audiance by doing that... The same people watch most of the Playoff games, putting them opposite each other would kill your ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All games have to be (should be) in HD, won't happen with ESPN Classic. I don't think the local carriage ratings count, it's all about ratings and $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 The 12:00 Wednesday afternoon audience is that great as oppossed to that which will watch whatever is on ESPN2 (Poker rerun) and Classic. I would think the options would increase the overall ratings as fans would stay tuned in if the games are entertaining. I know I would watch. How many fans watch at 12:00 ion the afternoon???????

Have you ever noticed what ESPN runs opposite of Monday night football. -- It's nothing but Ice Skating, Rythmic Gymnastics, and Women's Billiards. -- ABC and ESPN are both Disney, and one of them falls on the sword for the other. They don't want to take any of MNF's audience, so they run crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday mornings when they air college football, and FOX has MLB is the only time they really run opposite of the major league sports.
