I don't understand the viewer appetite for watching other people emote hot-takes at each other. Are these really their best-rated options? Competitive bickering athletic soap opera , every day 24/7, except for a game every so often. I can almost understand talk radio, because you can be doing something else, but these televised talk radio shows demand visual attention, too. 6pm Sportscenter used to be an oasis of sports info in the desert of competitive chatter, and now it's all dried up.
Just how it is. Not limited to TV.

Also, not limited to sports. See: all cable news.
