ESPN pulling the plug on most outdoor shows!

I personally like the Beat Charlie Moore show. He and I would get along quite well.

And there going to do it for soccer!!!! I didnt think there was that many fans here in the US? ESPN wont last much longer. Soccer wont go far in our world of B-Ball football boxing and baseball.

Where do you think the term "soccer mom" came from? Soccer is pretty dang popular in the US, just not so much in KY...but in my book fishing > soccer, but in fiances world soccer > fishing (she played in college).

It is all about sponsorship dollars. If they could make money showing fishing, then I am sure they would continue to show it. Apparently, the sponsors are not receiving their return on investment so they are not willing to pay for those shows.

I read where ESPN is going to focus on live event coverage. That is why BASS is going to continue to be shown. But I also read that BASS is for sale, so that won't last long if ESPN sells it off.

Mark Zonas show is the best, my wife even likes to watch him and she could care less about fishing. She will be devistated that their pulling all those shows.

I have dish. The best channel for fishing/hunting is the outdoor channel(153). Verses(151) has alot of fishing-Flw, Bill Dance, Roland Martin, and one of my favorites Hank Parker, and several other shows. The sportsmans channel(285) has so decent shows, alot of regional stuff from across the country.

Well, that makes me feel good knowing I am filming a show for one of the Sportman's channel shows next month...LOL

I would be willing to bet that versus and the outdoor channel will pick up some of the shows and I hope zona's show is one of them. Someone posted they would like to beat charlie moore, isnt that what the shows about? O wait they meant BEAT charlie moore, sorry brain fart, I get it now....

Now that ESPN has basically ruined bassmaster mag, The sportsman society and the TV by constantly changeing cheaponing and rearranging it they want to dump it. BASS went down as soon as these guys bought them out.F2W

Really? What show and Ill make sure and watch "the great one" in action. From what everyone said about your KY Afield segment, your hard on the eyes, but you catch fish..

[sglass]

Just merge BASS and FLW since they fight over the same sponsors, save tons of money and then we will see who the best in the world is.

[bassin bruce]

I'm with you DJD - could care less about the Charlie Moore show...can't stand his personality. Will miss Mark Zona's show as well as the hunting shows.

I have dish network - what's the best channel to subscribe to that covers bass fishing and hunting?

Outdoor Channel and Versus are the best ones in my opinion

[Shimano4Life]

Seriously??????? No more World's Greatest Fishing Show with Zona?

Man, ESPN is for the birds. I watch Versus and Outdoor more than ESPN, but now ESPN has given me more inspiration not to watch it.

WHY IN THE HELL DON'T THEY AIR THE SHOWS INSTEAD OF REPLAYING SPORTSCENTER ALL MORNING LONG??????? (from like 5am - 11am).

It will be Frontier Outdoors...gonna do some ledge fishing. We are scheduled to film it next month but not sure when it will air, I am sure I will be told that when we do the filming. I will be sure to put a sack over my head so I don't scare your kids....
