Yeah everyone turn on Your TV on Tuesday and watch Bowling. We need good ratings for Bowling.
What is on Tuesday? If it's on CBSSports again, I still won't have that channel so can't help with ratings. Maybe put bowling on a channel everyone gets if they want to improve ratings.
Instead of b*&#hing about not getting CBSSports Network, how about just being glad bowling is still on TV? ESPN made bowling pay for it's own time when it first started airing it. Now we have 2 channels that are paying, while maybe not much, but still paying the PBA to broadcast it. Yes, they aren't available to everyone yet. But it is better then nothing and better then it was only a few years ago. I have it DVR'd to watch tonight or later this week. I can't wait to see it.
I understand what you are saying, but there are some die-hard fans who cannot watch.
Look at it this way. What needs to happen for the PBA to expand on TV? I assume they need to expand their viewer base and increase their ratings. If the PBA was paying ESPN for their time slot, was that cost justified in reaching their goals? Even though CBSSPORTS is paying or whatever the PBA to show its events, the goal of having more viewership took a significant hit.
YAY!!! bowling is on TV. BOOOO fewer people can watch it.
The potential viewership on ESPN is significantly greater than on CBSSPORTS. I assume viewership is what sells advertising and gains sponsors.
And why should I be glad bowling is on TV if I can't watch it? Even our bowling center doesn't get that channel.
