What Makes A Good Sports News Anchor?

Posted by Tyler Mills in Television

The fact that Bruce Pearl is now working for a marketing firm in Knoxville has me wondering whether he would be good as a network analyst or not. Bruce Pearl was involved in so many recruiting scandals that a company like ESPN would be fairly reluctant to hire him. Bruce Pearl is someone who would definitely have a dynamic personality, it would be very interesting for him to have his own television sports talk show.

It takes skill to be a great broadcaster. A lot of people out there were critical of some of the work that Scottie Pippen did at ABC. Scottie has had a lot of trouble in the past with bad investments so people really should take it easy on Scottie Pippen given the stress that he has been under.

People look for different ways to improve ratings for a lot of different sports shows out there. ESPN has to focus on things like how to make sure that they keep content fresh. I still cannot figure out why they have the show NFL Live on ESPN every single day. Trey Wingo and people like Teddy Bruschi do everything they can to make sure people who are watching them on the tube do remain interested, it would be hard to get new content out there with the likes of the NFL Network and Rich Eisen constantly putting out new information on their shows.

It will be interesting to see exactly how things will evolve with a lot of these different conferences getting their own network. A person who works at ESPN may be able to find a better opportunity somewhere else. Several ESPN anchors have moved on to the MLB Network and the Big Ten Network. I really do enjoy watching most of the programming on the Big Ten Network.
