#Captive market game walkthroug tv#
Straight Outta Wells Branch: snowshovel: I'm curious as to why subby thinks the tv people are wrong. It makes absolutely no sense, and I'm sorry but the executives are completely wrong here. It makes zero sense to give teams prime spots if they just continue to be terrible.īasically, it's a flimsy terrible argument that doesn't advance the game, doesn't motivate the casual fan, and frankly, it's just a terrible product they keep pushing when they have so much better selection. We suck & no one wants to watch Davis Mills be terrible. The NFL buried our Thursday game on the NFL Network with good reason. We're rewarding a franchise with a prime spot for what reason exactly? Again, going back to the Texans for a moment. I'm a Texans fan, and I'd be just as appalled if somehow we got a prime spot during the season without having any valid reason for having it other .ģ. Basically, the argument executives put forth is "Uhh.tradition." If that's the best reason you can put forth, you need to seriously rethink what you're doing. They completely understand this principle.Ģ. This is why you see the best players and teams on Christmas Day in the NBA. You want more people to want to watch, and convert the casual fan to an active fan. Why wouldn't you watching more? Putting the Lions on in a valuable time slot makes absolutely no sense from a long term perspective. Why wouldn't you want the casual fan to see your best product? The active fan is likely going to watch no matter what, but you have to be willing to put your best product forward when you have casual fans watching.
Football is what's on before thanksgiving dinner. Thanksgiving is a captive market, and the goal isn't to capture the active fan. Any executive that argues to keep the Lions in this spot is both lazy and stupid. I've long lobbied for the Lions to lose the Thanksgiving game for a few reasons.ġ. So why bother wasting the marquee matchup in that time slot? It seems that they have the stats to prove that people will gleefully watch any football on T-day without much regard to who is playing.
