    Not sure how this is possible since they went full woke. Thought that was supposed to be better for business.

    As long as you old ass clowns keep watching and talking about commercials, cable TV will still exist.

    Is 3% really that much?

    Companies do cuts that all the time.

    You, sir, are apparently ill-equipped to handle 2032. Commercials are the wave of the future.



    And...I bet you have no idea how to use the three seashells. L

    Here is the issue
    When newspapers failed . .. . I was concerned about the loss of Journalistic integrity
    There were plenty of alternatives to NewsPapers. . . even the TV News
    the problem is . . .there was no set ethics or integrity

    ESPN has becomes basically a professional version of the podcasters on Youtube
    just higher production value . . . so I cannot say I will miss anything
    because
    I can get the same level of content and detail at a lower cost and more interactive connectable people.

    I cannot Chat with Stephen A easily . . but many podcasters are doing playbacks etc
