"In The Ring With Ronda Rousey" With Pete Holmes

((HT: Pete Holmes Show/TBS))

The HQ will give Pete Holmes a lot of credit...

First, for getting the tine slot after Conan...
Second, for getting in the ring with Ronda Rousey...

Rousey shows a great sense of humor as Holmes dances around a lot of topics that late night guys can dance around...


See...???
Sense of humor...

Next Year's NCAA Hoop Semi's Move to TBS

((ncaa.com))

So basketball fan, did you hear the one about the NCAA Basketball Semi's moving from CBS to TBS?

It's a move that's been in the works since the last NCAA/CBS TV deal that allowed Turner Sports the opportunity to broadcast all the tournament games CBS, the long-time rights holder, didn't.

The deal was to initially move the semi's to TBS, but not for a couple of years.

The timetable was moved up.

Beginning next year, the weekend's Final Four games will be broadcast on TBS. Should that be surprising. No. It's part of Sports move away from Network TV.

Read more on the move from the NCAA their ownselves RIGHT HERE

Beginning in 2016, the Finals will alternate between both networks.

What this means to you: Well, it depends on whether you have cable/satellite programming or not. If you do, it doesn't mean much, it just means you'll find more games on cable, where most NCAA sports have migrated (ESPN has the Football championships).

However, if you don't have cable/satellite, well, you probably weren't watching many Sports anyway.

But, just keep this in mind. The days of Network TV being the go-to are changing. Yes, the NFL is there, and will continue to be, but they are a huge drain on the Network bottom line (not very profitable). And unlike cable, they can't increase the subscriber fee the same way.

The morale of the story is this: TV is getting close to exponential change. The model will eventually eat the cable companies as well. Subscribers are currently footing the bill for Sports (all of them) whether they are watched, or not.

And that model includes major Sports moving away from the places you've always seen them while growing up. And into a place that will cost you a lot of money.
