    Auto Racing 2024

    Palou takes the Indy Grand Prix. Competition up front wasn't all too competitive. Power' pit crew got him in front of Lungaard for second. Colton Herta proved resolve, finiahing in the top 10 after starting 24th. Only one yellow in the entire race, so the action was nonstop, and pitting gimmicks...

    Auto Racing 2024

    It is an incredible rating for race car driving for an F1 race of little consequence. Daytona and Indy beat it, but that is probably it.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    I couldn't imagine being vegan. Pescatarian is about as good as I can manage.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    I've never heard a vegetarian say that. I did try to return a veggie burger at the Burger Priest in Ontario because it was too good to be a veggie burger, but it was.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    I think the no revenue from this investment could be a bigger issue. I mean, yeah, the debt is bad, but if you have revenue, you generally get more options for rolling the debt. Dish's SEC filing stopped just short of saying they were going to need to talk to "Tony at the corner" about a loan...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Of course, if Dish isn't going to make money with their 5G system, it doesn't matter if they've deployed their service to 105% of the US population. Admittedly, I just made this one up. :D

    HBO Max/Discovery+ Merger

    ...I smell insolvency and vultures picking the bones.

    How things have changed

    I'd say the big contributor at this point will be the transition of broadcasting content away from cable/sat. Some sports programming was shown only on cable/sat channels or you need a subscription to sat/cable to gain access to the sports online. With this transitioning to flat out simulcast...

    HBO Max/Discovery+ Merger

    $515 million in interest for one quarter, and they have $300ish million in hand? I smell a merger.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    My general rule is when Scott pours out the gasoline and torches the web board on fire, that is the time to panic on Dish. But according to Dish's SEC filings, not some financial guru, but what Dish itself is saying, things are not looking great. Indeed, $16 a share is still not that bad...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    What is "That doesn't sound good?" Regarding 5G however: Well, that sounds better. But if they don't start making huge in-roads to monetizing that, it won't matter. I think one thing Dish needs to do is hire a competent advertiser. The one thing I wonder, they have proven the speed, but do...

    Auto Racing 2024

    That is quite something. Personally F1 is boring as all heck, but it is carrying better than Indycar ever does, except probably the Indy 500. This weekend: WEC is in Spa IMSA are in Laguna Seca Indycar are Grand Prixing it at Indy. Kyle Larson's tests at Indy for the 500 have reportedly been...

    Please DISH get METV back!

    I always thought of New Haven being the dividing line between Boston and NYC or the end of the "suburbs" of NYC.

    Please DISH get METV back!

    It is a small time channel. The odd thing is, they don't have MeTV. That'd be channel 19 (big one) and 6 (?). Apparently I get 35 with good strength and they've changed what they carry... again... so I need to add it to the channel list.

    Disney+ / Hulu / Etc...+ to rein in Password Sharing

    Of course, this is household to household thing. My point is a la carte will be problematic regarding come and go and comeback and go again churn due to the lack of newer content. Personally, I get weary of nickel and diming with all of the services, and prioritization becomes a thing.

    Disney+ / Hulu / Etc...+ to rein in Password Sharing

    Did what in 5 years? You listed two companies and the basis for them saying they made profit is open to less interpretation. What does Disney+ being profitable actually represent in a non-accounting gimmick sort of way? They bought it because they were smart and debt was nearly at no...

    Disney+ / Hulu / Etc...+ to rein in Password Sharing

    The profitability of (or lack there of) these services always seemed like a shell game. I don't see how ESPN+ makes "money" in any sense of the word that is credible, other than the cost to distribute the signal is less than the revenue from distribution. My problem is where is the cost of the...

    Please DISH get METV back!

    ME-TV Toons is on channel 35 in Cleveland area. What in the heck is channel 35?! I get Hartford not getting it, but I don't get New Haven. A couple stone throws away.

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    I'm not trying to imply it is a Great Wall, Bruce was however making it sound like it'd be just flipping a switch. I do think it is a bigger deal that others consider. This will involve a transition to "how things will be done". The leagues could do it on their own, might need to, or they can...

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    Yes, but the game coverage will still need to be produced. If it isn't Bally, it can be someone else, but there would need to be a someone else.

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    The games don't exist via magic for broadcast. If Bally isn't producing the game coverage, the game coverage would need to be produced by others.

    Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

    It is about value. Cable/Sat providers pay the channel owners money to be able to provide the channel. If the channel owner is providing the channel(s) themselves, that liquidates the value of the channel(s). The pressure for cable/sat to provide the channel(s) is greatly reduced, as their...

    If it isn't sports related, I almost never watch Peacock, but I do watch enough sports on it.

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    Not like Pittsburgh has. But some portions have changed notably. The Flats are nicer, for certain. I was in the Tremont area and it was redeveloped housing wise in the few years since I was there, I hardly recognized that I had been there. Other areas have been getting redeveloped for housing...
