what in the world of wide world of sports is going on with versus and the ipt???? i tuned in saturday night at 7est and no pool!????? then i find they moved the prime time slot of 7pm back to 4 or 5 pm, now that shows pool ain't ready for prime time, or does it say something else?
Not Ready For Prime Time????
- Thread starter 8-ball bernie
- Start date
perhaps . . .
Perhaps the IPT didn't want to pay prime time advertising rates for commercial spots that it knows is a sham. Of course it is always possible Verses just got a wild hair too!
We will know more soon. Until then we can throw the bones and read the tea leaves. The truth is that we don't know diddly about what is next for the IPT.
I do know it is damned hard for those directly involved to wait. You all have my sympathy.

Ok, I'll speculate a bit...
If Versus paid the IPT for the episodes of the KOTH, NA Open, etc., then they can show them any day, in any time slot they want. Perhaps the shows weren't doing well in the ratings for that prime time slot so they moved them somewhere else.
Out of curiosity, what was shown in its place?
I still don't think KT paid Versus for the TV time. Stations don't typically promote paid programming. Versus featured the IPT in there promotional spots this summer, along with the Tour De France, etc.
My guess is the ratings were low and they wanted to try something else in that spot to boost them.

Maybe if some of us started complaining about the stuff on TV, via email & written mail, the media powers would take another look at their crystall ball ratings.
The idiots running TV don't know diddly from squat, the present lineup or schedule proves that. They don't know if Twinkies or Chocolate Donuts are the thing, they make up something, call their sponsors for more dough (pun) & the shows they want to broadcast, are in that slot.
If they had 2,000,000 petitioning signatures on their desk.... requesting that Pool or Billiards be broadcast, that is all it would take. We can make a difference, but we can't do it alone.

I disagree. I've been watching Extreme Diddly Squat on ESPN and it's quite exciting.
