but ask yourself why SVP was afraid to leave ESPN
Why would he leave? He is at the top, there is nowhere to go but down. Again, whatever your feelings are about the Worldwide Leader nobody even comes close to touching them in their market.

why their "talent" shrivels and dies once leaving the mothership
For the reasons mentioned above. They move to other entities with limited viewership because of the virtual monopoly ESPN has on the market.

Jim Rome, which is the only good sports show I can think of.
We clearly just disagree on what a good sports show is. Jim Rome is the epitome of a douche in my eyes.

fricking Jemelle Hill is a frequent fill in for the oh so formidable duo of hill and sclereth
Hill is terrible no doubt there but she fills an obvious quota.

I always laugh when people shite on ESPN because as things go, it is pretty much they only thing they will listen to
Yea, these people are stupid but obviously there are millions of them. Everybody hates ESPN but everybody watches it.

You love SVP, but most likely you wouldn't tune in if he were on another station.
You're probably right because I would probably have to go out of my way to find him.

This is my point. SVP is nothing without the ESPN name. SVP is a nationally syndicated show, he has every opportunity to leave and do the same thing. If he is as good as the MSB says, you will have no problem finding him. The cream rises to the top. Plenty of big disc jockeys that are not on ESPN radio, the format doesn't matter.
quote:You think as if a sports radio show has to be on an all sports format. Howard Stern isn't rock music, but he was on a rock station. Rush limbaugh could be put on a christian rock station, any format, and that guy is going to be a top rated dj. He is talented.
They move to other entities with limited viewership because of the virtual monopoly ESPN has on the market.
quote:That is beside the point. Jim Rome does big ratings when he isn't on EPSN radio...how does he do that when ESPN has a virtual monopoly?

quota? who cares why she is on, she is on and they do big numbers and she has NOOOOOOOO place in radio.

back to my original point, if he is as talented as everyone proclaims, you won't have to look very hard
(and look I think he has talent, but he is just doing the wrong show and part of that may be the limitations of working for uptight ESPN)

last post on the matter, If I went and grabbed the most awful dj straight out of georgia tech with a communications degree and put him on ESPN, do you think their ratings suffer? hell no. Hill and Schlereth, freddie coleman, and on and on and on. You could put a fricking retard on that station and they'll do big numbers.
