Sports have always been a huge part of American culture, and the same is true today. Between the dog days of summer, to the ice cold months in the winter, sports are played indoors and out as stadiums are filled with fans paying top dollar to catch all the action live and in person. As a result, sports programming on television has changed drastically from what it was only ten or fifteen years ago. With packages such as NFL Sunday Ticket and NASCAR Hot Pass, customers are offered a wide array of channels that cater directly to their hunger for more sports. The seemingly endless number of programming options, along with non-stop news sources, has changed the way people go about enjoying and appreciating sports.
Maybe more so than any other network or show currently on television, ESPN has turned itself into the biggest and most powerful media mogul in the entire industry. With news programming being broadcast almost 24 hours a day around the clock, the network has successfully hanged the entire landscape of sports. People used to rely on the newspaper for the previous day’s scores and information. Now, people not only watch the games for free, live through a video stream on their computer, but can also further dissect every play and the entire box score only a few minutes after the final out was made or final buzzer was sounded. With such access, the lives of both sports fans and sports stars have changed forever.
Fans who have become accustomed to this type of constant news cycle can no longer live without it. Gone are the days when a fan was forced to listen to a game on the radio, or watch the game on television at the time it was played to be able to follow his or her team on a regular, day to day basis. With a webpage updated as often as ESPN.com is, fans are able to constantly check back on the homepage to make sure that now new news has come across the wire. With their multiple channels, based around all different types of sports and designed for the various fans spanning the entire globe, people are able to watch replays of games, or listen in to expert advice and opinions about yesterday’s top topics of conversation and debate. The ease in which all this type of information and news can be gathered has allowed more fans to become that much more involved with and knowledgeable about their favorite team or favorite sport. For a New Yorker sitting at his or her desk at work he or she can successfully watch highlight’s from last night’s Mets game, read up on rumors regarding the Knicks and their plans for the upcoming NBA Draft, and listen to a live radio show debate what player the Jets should sign in free-agency. Everything is at your fingertips when it comes to TV and internet news cycles today.
