best booth case chance cost increasing losing member present stand third unless
It's not a case of who's in the booth increasing ratings, ... But unless you present your best face, you stand a chance of losing ratings. We feel it (the cost of a third member of the team) is a wash.
argument cable healthy network operation operations sports
Our cable operation is very healthy, as is ESPN, ... The network operations are on a different model. You can make an argument there are only two healthy network sports operations.
believe broadcast difficult games interest network outset point time tournament
I think at the outset there are a lot of games that would have to be broadcast so it's difficult to look at it at this point as a network play at that time of year. But I'd like to believe down the road once this tournament evolves that our interest will grow.

I think Game 1 of this World Series - if you go back three years or four years - will do better (ratings wise) than we did back then. I think (in terms of ratings) this World Series will hold up extremely well.

addition carried concept countries five greater grow japan landscape launching meaning nice pad perhaps played republic seven six sports united venezuela wonderful
I think the concept is a wonderful concept. It'll be carried on television. Because of the nationalism involved, it could take on greater meaning in countries like Japan or the Dominican Republic or Venezuela than perhaps it would in the United States. But because of the nationalistic feeling, it could be a nice little launching pad because it is played in March. I think it's an interesting concept that should grow over the years. If you give it time, five or six or seven years from now, this could be a nice addition to the sports landscape and a big event.

From our perspective, we just want good games, but I think a lot of baseball fans are going to be looking forward not only to this weekend's series but also to these two teams meeting again in the ALCS.
asset coaches masters nfl solid
NFL coaches are the masters of coach-speak. In baseball, I think we get some solid information. I think it's an asset to get clarifications on in-game situations. I think it's very effective.
looking reasonable time york
We have reasonable geographical distribution this time around. You're not looking at New York-New York or Giants-Angels. We're going to be fine.
