NO Television for My Birthday Ride!
3PM, Monday, June 8: This morning was a perfect day for my birthday ride, so I called ESPN to discuss plans for live-streaming on ESPN-27, the channel devoted to amateur athletes. I recorded the conversation.
ESPN: Good morning, ESPN. How may I help you?
ME: May I speak to the Executive Producer at your ESPN-27 Channel please? I’m calling about the live-streaming of my attempt to bike my age.
ESPN: There is no ESPN-27 channel. We have ESPN, ESPN-2, and ESPN-3. That’s it.l
ME: But I was told……
ESPN: Sir, there’s no such channel. You’ve been tricked.
ME: Then perhaps ESPN would be interested in live-streaming my effort on ESPN-3. I know you are desperate for live sporting events.
ESPN: I don’t think we’re that desperate, sir.
ME: It might draw an audience. After all, my effort is sanctioned by ABBA. CONTINUE READING: NO Television for My Birthday Ride! | The Merrow Report
