A beneficial side effect to the early exit of the World Series for dear alma mater:Fox has announced the promotion of Saturday night’s West Virginia-BYU conference(!?) game from FS1 to the main network.Sent from my iPhoneOn Nov 2, 2023, at 10:32, Diner  wrote:Last week I was listening to "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me," and one of the guests was comedian Zainab Johnson.

I watched most of the games the morning after, FF through major segments, and perhaps most telling, was never in jeopardy of having the final score spoiled because it seemed absolutely nobody in my social media networks cared enough to discuss the games.MLB partly just got unlucky with two teams with low interest from the southwest with no connection to high population east coast TV markets.I give them some credit this year. I was against the pitch clock at first, a proponent of the idea that one of the things that makes baseball unique is that it has no clock. But I was quickly won over, the clock cut a lot of the dead air out, and games were more than 20 minutes shorter than the previous year. At an average length of 2’40”, down from over 3 hours the previous season, they approached the classic period when a baseball game was usually over in less than 2 hours and 20 minutes. Far more enjoyable.But greed still drives them to artificially inject drama into the season with too many wildcards, and too many post season games. One result is the WS was decided in freaking November, and League Championship and World Series games are competing for attention with NFL mid-season games, a competition MLB will always lose.But it’s worse than that, WS baseball not only got beat in the TV ratings by a la luster MNF game with the Raiders, it got beat by a 60 Minutes episode.Sent from Gmail MobileOn Wed, 1 Nov 2023 at 8:07 PM Kevin M.  wrote:Admittedly I’m not a baseball fan, but I didn’t know the series was going on until a student of mine mentioned it yesterday. On Wed, Nov 1, 2023 at 6:21 PM Steve Timko  wrote: https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/low-world-series-tv-ratings-201430820.html

There will always be pop music performed by young performers and people coming of age will bond with the music and decide this is the best band/performer ever and probably stick with that their whole lives. The rest of us just won’t get it.The Taylor Swift Eras Tour came through Pittsburgh recently. Tickets to her show sold out so quickly they added a second show and that sold out immediately. But that’s not the phenomenon. What happened is anticipation for the shows took over the city. Restaurants (note the plural) offered Taylor Swift brunches and bars came up with Swift themed cocktails. Now I remember when arena acts became stadium acts and in all those years whatever phenomenon there was stayed limited to the stadium and parking lots. I don’t remember any act, no matter how popular, taking over the city this way.On Mon, Jul 17, 2023 at 4:11 AM PGage  wrote:I’m so far outside the demo for Swift that in one sense I have no meaningful take on her. I know millions of people love pumpkin lattes at Starbucks also, and while the thought sets my teeth on edge, the fact that I despise it is irrelevant to whether that is a good product.OTOH, Swift is roughly the same age as Adele, another young white woman who sings hyper personal break up songs. But I have loved Adele since I first heard her on one of those free iTunes songs of the week, sans any ore hype, and she has always seemed more mature and adult and genuine to me than Swift, who comes across as a marketing confection to me. I guess I attribute the passion and size of her fan base to the effectiveness of the marketing.On Mon, 17 Jul 2023 at 12:19 AM 'David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV  wrote:
Swift's been putting out albums since 2006, but I can't think of any other pop star who came out around the same time that has stayed in the public consciousness without diversifying or shifting into other arenas of entertainment or genres of music.  (I don't think she's impressed anyone, one way or the other, with her few non-music video acting roles.)Having a fan army on a scale comparable to BTS or other Asian pop acts does seem unique to Swift outside of those acts.  Sure, there are other groups of intense fans of a musical act, but both the groups and the acts tend to be smaller.  That could certainly be sustainable for a longer than average career, depending on the expectations of the artists involved.Maybe Swift has inspired her fanbase in part because her media coverage usually tightly links her personal life to her music.  This goes beyond just analyzing which single is about which relationship to include tracking which current or potential romantic partner was seen with her or attended her latest show.  And it's been happening for at least a decade.  Even in this period of more intense media scrutiny, this seems the hardest part of her trajectory to replicate.David

For the first time, you do not have to live in a European Broadcasting Union member country to vote for the entries--you can download the Eurovision app or go to the URL displayed on screen to vote and click "Rest of the World." This gives the viewers votes a slight edge over the alleged music/broadcasting industry panels of judges that also vote for the entries, since there is no "Rest of the World" panel.The onstage hosts this year include "Ted Lasso"'s Hannah Waddingham and they will be joined by Graham Norton for the finals Saturday, the first time onstage for him after several years as BBC1 host, where he continued the tradition of snark of the late longtime host SIr Terry Wogan. Last year, NBC Sports commentator and Eurovision geek Johnny Weir hosted the Peacock coverage, but this year he is only hosting the finals Saturday--and I assume hosting from either Universal City, 30 Rock or Stamford instead of being in Liverpool.

Subject: Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Interesting game show insight

I got to know backstage crew who worked on a lot of the shows. Drinking did 
occur on some of them, as well as drugs, but they sometimes taped five or more 
episodes a day, so regardless of day of the week, they couldn’t all get 
hammered or they’d have never gotten through it. And it goes without saying 
that Dick Clark ran sober game show studios. Well, sober-ish. 

One day, the crew from The Gong Show needs to co-author the definitive tell-all 
behind-the-scenes book. From even the tiny fraction of the stories I heard, 
it’s more bizarre than any account I’ve seen shared publicly so far. Dressing 
rooms exploding. Naked people in the lighting grid. Wild stories about what 
went on in the men’s room.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Coming soon to the CW? Live sports

In regard to the subject header, only tournaments in North America will be 
broadcast live. The other five (out of 14) off-continent events will be 
tape-delayed to air in the same (1-6pm ET) broadcast window.

All rounds of all tournaments will stream live on the network's app.

In addition, 13 markets will have a non-CW outlet airing events.

If you are Biblically literate enough to correctly identify the New Testament 
books from a random list of ancient demonyms, you should likely be aware that 
Hebrews’ status as a Pauline epistle is dubious at best. The writers including 
Paul in the clue rendered it vague. (Fwiw, I had Romans, but then, I’m just the 
church pianist.)

RE: [TV orNotTV] SNL has writers?

2022-11-12 Thread Brad Beam

My snap response last week was, “He’s going to preach at us” – a logical 
progression from 2016 (preaching for us: “Give him a chance”) and 2020 
(preaching to us: “Be a gracious winner”).

So, “I’m right, you’re wrong”…?
