By now, readers of Growltiger's Litterbox get that this cat is a tennis fan. Mee-oow!
Right now, even though Growltiger pays for cable and has The Tennis Channel, TTC isn't televising the Western and Southern Tournament in Cincinnati. That's because ESPN bought the rights to televise the tournament, but in its infinite wisdom, elected instead to televise Little League Baseball. You read that right. Little League Baseball. Not major league baseball, not even minor league baseball. Little League Baseball. Little kids.
To ESPN's credit, it does have a crawl informing those who might think they want to watch professional tennis go to their computer instead and watch on ESPN III.
Beam me up, Scottie; I've landed on Planet Moron!
How is it possible that in the 21st century, with cable and Fios and direct satellite TV, the rules and regulations of broadcast do not allow broadcasters to compete? Oh, damn. Scrub that. I forgot about lobbyists. I forgot about crony capitalism. I forgot about how we the people, have little or no say in our lives anymore.
