The End of the World
ESPN and the other networks have nothing to offer. We are watching games played decades ago, or cornhole (which is like beanbags or horseshoes) and teqball which is basically indescribably stupid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmCDd7goWtE rather than using the timeout to improve our minds.
There's tons and tons of stuff on meditation, self-help of all kinds, first aid, science, on and on forever, and all the tv stations can do is replay the 2016 Super Bowl or last years Masters from Augusta. I know we are stressed out from being cooped up, from the lack of paychecks, etc. But why have we turned stupid? No wonder Trump and his delusional minions are allowed to destroy the world. Hardly anyone is paying attention to themselves enough to put a stop to it. |

Last time I looked, I wasn't being told that I/we have to watch such shows?

TN introduced a valid point, one that once would have resulted in friendly discussion between friends. Unfortunately again you are stifling that, I wonder why that is? Perhaps you need a good laxative to clear your fouled system. |

Uhm.. turned?? This isn't a new development .
Sports is scrambling.. there's talk of all sorts of things..funniest I heard were stadium games with CGI-filled stands.... so it SEEMS like there's people there. |

He made a great valid point, I replied with a greater (more logical/obvious) valid point! I noticed that you didn't reply with anything interesting to add to his great valid point, instead you chose to chose to criticize someone for their reply. Tell me, how does that make this community such a lively vibrant place to belong? As far as needing a laxative, you clearly don't need any of that, you manage quite well without any! |

If this complaint is from the US there is never a need to tune to a sport station due to the vast amount of programs available. |

Could I suggest that sports reruns are on because there is a lack of sport being played due to the lockdown.
Another problem in the US may be due to the commercial nature of TV stations, perhaps advertisers are unwilling to pay for ads or sponsor shows when many establishments are shut down, meaning that they may not generate sales from those ads? I don't know the situation there, but here in Australia, where we have a good National broadcaster, without ads, we are getting a good range of shows (some repeats of top shows), meanwhile the commercial TV stations are putting on some school shows for kids who are home schooling, I guess to do the right thing, and to draw their viewers back from the National broadcaster. Overall I've been quite happy with the standard of TV here while we've been locked down. |

I would have thought that would have been evident to the original poster but that point seems to have escaped him, her, or it

Ditto. Even though our national broadcaster now carries advertising rather than charging for a yearly TV licence fee..

Really? I'm sick to death of the "talking head on a web cam". Rather than rethink or reimagine shows, especially talk show.. they're all just monotone talking heads... ugh.

There have been many attempts to introduce advertising on the National Broadcaster, but there has been such a public reaction that any Government that did this would be sure to be out of office for a long time. |

Yeah and Cops was cancelled as well. LivePD sort of.. well... didn't disclose a death they filmed. I think that was more a legal matter.. but the Cops cancellation was more political pressure.
I don't like surfing Youtube videos.. poor production values, bad audio... bad lighting.. just bad... but THIS is what normal television is turning into... youtube video on a big screen. yuck. |
