Power of ESPN exemplified right here
From John Ourand:
Overnights: ESPN's SportsCenter from 6-7 pulled a 0.53. FS1's "Speak for Yourself" with Cowherd and Whitlock from 6-7 pulled a 0.06.
Everyone who reads this board should be following him on Twitter. SportsCenter has been marginalized over the years with sports new/highlights available on the internet and so many places. But it whooped up on a FS1 show with high-priced talent designed to pull viewers. People are conditioned to flip on ESPN.
Conference realignment related? Partnering with ESPN pulls in more viewers. I hope the second B1G package goes to Fox. Also, rating comparisons using FS1 is not an apples to apples comparison. That network gets few viewers.
