Re: How would you compete against sportscenter?

the problem is if you offer the same thing, only slightly different, you'll never get anywhere. you have to create a niche market and offer something no one else can, and then make that market grow.

I agree. I just can't envision a niche show that ESPN doesn't already have. I mean there's ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNEWS, ESPN Classic, the OCHO, and also THE MAG, .COM, and RADIO. Among all those options, you basically get whatever else you want. I don't see a niche market where you can offer something that ESPN already doesn't.
If it were up to me, I'd just do what they do, but I'd try to do it better. I have no problem with adding unique ideas here and there, but I think to offer something different would possibly be asking for a beatdown in ratings.
