ESPN's 32% ratings crash - layoffs happening

[Prison Bitch]

Man, I remember when ESPN first came out. There was no programming. They literally had shows of Strongest Man Competition where dudes would roll massive tires down the street. Roy Firestone would give his tear-inducing interviews wearing that blue-ish blazer. They'd have replays of "Home Run Derby" from the 1950s in black & white.


The product really changed when they landed MLB in the later part of the 1980s. Now they have MNF obviously. I can't believe people think the new format sucks when you should've seen the old!
