1300am




More than once, while watching sports someone (usually cody) has tried to line up the local radio sports commentary with the game on television. With the increase in bandwidth as television attempts to push more channels and higher definition feeds to us, I don’t see why we shouldn’t eventually have the option for different audio feeds. Besides the obvious technical difficulties, there is of course the bigger problem which revolves around advertising.

If the television station where to pay the locals for use of their commentary, and were the distributors it seems they would be free to cut to their commercials the same as they currently do. So they wouldn’t be loosing advertising time slots, and if this were really popular they may even be able leverage some pay cuts to those two bit hacks like mark may. The AM stations should make some extra bucks off the tv deals while still retaining their radio only advertising they are already receiving. Seems like a win win.

on another bonus from this situation, when you are watching "teen wolf" for the 45th time on TBS, at least you could switch over to the directors commentary, or maybe the mystery science theater voiceover

That's actually in the works through a corporation my ex-roommate is involved with. I can't tell anymore or my life may be endangered (or that's all he was willing to tell me)
