It seems like Radio and TV are all really coming under one umbrella. What I mean is, Mike and Mike will now be co-anchoring the 6PM Sports Center on Mondays. Colin Cowherd has his TV show following his radio show. Brian Kenny now has a show as well as Sports Center responsibilities, and so does Van Pelt. There is now no host that exclusively does radio! Will this strategy eventually burn people out a lot faster?

ESPN stinks.
Put on some people that know sports.
I am glad a lot of the ESPN shows are pre empted by local shows here. You can only take so much Cowherd and Mike Golic.

It's all cross-branding and synergy.
And probably some money saving is involved.
And surely a minimized effort is also involved.

Yes, and Radio plays second fiddle. For example, college basketball analyst and Radio PM driver Doug Gottlieb was doing TV only for much of March and April.

hasn't it always been this way for everybody? I'm a little on the young side and don't remember the days of TV & Radio station being under the same roof but I'm guessing there was cross promotion and such back then too
Yeah, realistically it has. When I was a kid, I can remember back to like 1975, radio, tv, and newspapers were all working in cahoots. I mean "synergy."Mainedude2007 said:
More than one local radio station was co-owned with a tv station [one still is, and they also own another new radio station that's running ESPN Radio], and newspaper people were also doing the news on the radio [instead of like today when the news is just copied word-for-word from the paper or its website], or maybe it was really radio people picking up a few extra bucks writing for the paper, they were never real clear about how that worked out.
Is Freddie Coleman on the air every day? I swear a day doesn't go by that I don't hear him.
I read that ESPN had instituted a hiring freeze a few months back, so I'm assuming this is the result of that.
And yeah, anyone who does radio exclusively for ESPN better get used to wearing makeup.
