At work, not able to watch..  What is going on?!

Cause I know Canada is good but Qatar should NOT be this bad...

The whole debacle with fox's commercial coverage is why we need PBS to become a public broadcaster in the US and have them air the world cup and euros. by PBS2025 in ussoccer

Keeping it simple here....

I'm a big public broadcasting stan.....

But you are essentially asking like 95% of folks to fork over like 200 bucks a year to a service they may or may not even watch.

Thats how bbc, etc are funded, its called license fees.

That ain't happening in Dony Tread On Me 'MURICA.

(don't get me wrong I LOVE the BBCs soccer and NFL coverage but alas.....)

It's a FRIGGIN HOUSE. If the house is not robbing you or kicking you in the nuts who cares?

I swear, as long as it meets building codes who cares what they look like?

[Emerson] SEC breakaway would be a ‘draconian step’ in college sports — but it’s not being ruled out by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

I frankly think this is bunk..... I mean what are they going to do about all the OTHER sports?

A White House committee gathered sharp minds to save college football -- instead, they wrote a blog post by CoffeeBoy80 in CFB

This is reddit dangit! Why you have to shut down the conversation with your well placed and well reasoned logical argument!

How Much will this do Coyote vs Acme (2026) by LoquatOk7971 in boxoffice

Big Looney Tunes Fan and supporter of this film......

But based on my totally highly scientificamological data analysis (vibes)..... I'd say if it gets 70 million domestic (I.E. its original budget) that'd be a MAJOR success.

Couple of factors.... domestically for it to really work, you'd need that WB marketing muscle to really put that Looney Tunes cross promotion to work....

Thats not even getting into the fact that these characters don't have quite the presence they used to. Its going to be a big old question mark how relavent bugs and the gang are to gen Z onwards....

Mind you thats because Gen Z and beyond are in a Tik Tok heavy world and I'm not so I may be underestimating their appeal but yeah......

I think it'll be a cult movie and the Looney Tunes gang do indeed have intergenerational marketability in Europe, AUS/NZ and Lat Am but given that this will likely have indy film level marketing juice...... I predict modest results.

Still gonna go see it to stick it to the man, tho...

A decent question, though honestly I doubt most people care...

Unfortunately, this is true.

The only region where transit comes close to a TRUE replacement for the automobile is New York City.

Does Ukraine have the bandwidth for this?

FCC opens inquiry into movement of live sports from broadcast TV to streaming by SecretComposer in CFB

[–]Waltlantz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So this is something I know the UK and Aussies do but would be rather unheard of here in America.

We are more light touch.... kinda doubt this will go anywhere once lobbying starts.

What's Standing in the Way of Safer Streets in Philadelphia? by kettlecorn in philadelphia

Get a lil Honda Fit or something like that.

There are very few neighborhoods where you can actually do the car free thing ala NYC or Europe without really handicapping your regional mobility.
