Re: When exactly did Sportscenter start to become unwatchable?
Sportscenter early days: 100% highlights and recap of what just happened
Sportscenter 90s: 75% or so highlights and recap, 25% blather
Sportscenter now: 20% what just happened, 30% why it happened and 50% what it all means to the future of sports
I think they're trying to recreate the magic of PTI within sportscenter, when the format and talent they have to work with just doesn't permit it. PTI works mainly because people like to sit down and spend time with the hosts. No one wants to spend any more time with guys like Sean Salisbury or John Clayton than they absolutely have to.
