Its for that reason I feel ESPN won't do this for the long haul.

If you are not savvy to public speaking, you will not come off well. I had access to a video cam for awhile and sent video cards for holiday. It was great..a woman who does eyejot stuff for a living and wanted to know how I got such good quality video. Flip camera, QUIET room and good lighting!<BR/><BR/>I did not use a webcam (don't have one) and her Logistics webcam seems moody as well..when laptop is hot, video stutters.<BR/><BR/>so if you are SAVVY how you present yourself and edit, it might work but still lots of work for somebody at BSPN.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, folks blathering into video and sending in stuff could be cringe inducing.<BR/><BR/>I don't want to see people yelling JOOOONYER!!!!!!!!! or Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>:-)Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-45147606757290165202009-03-04T01:18:00.000-05:002009-03-04T01:18:00.000-05:00The tv ratings on LV cup race on Fox were down one...The tv ratings on LV cup race on Fox were down one million viewers. But if taken in context, one can see that for the 3rd weekend in a row NASCAR on Fox dominated all sports in getting tv viewers. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure the Lakers/Suns would like to know why they only get 1/2 the number of fans to watch their games. I mean Kobe and Shak, and NASCAR still beat them by a landslide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-41543777139428107712009-03-03T23:50:00.000-05:002009-03-03T23:50:00.000-05:00JD, while this may seem like a good idea on the su...JD, while this may seem like a good idea on the surface, its not going to work well. While CNN has found they might get some content during breaking news from "amateurs", they don't get the same effect on other segments. This idea has been tried and has failed before and CNN knows this first hand. <BR/>Also, NASCAR issues do not have the same effect as breaking news. <BR/>Fans on computer cams are not TV ready and this would lead to some bad TV moments. Even when Dave Despain does something like this by phone on his show, we see it leads to awkward moments as fans stumble over questions and add pockets of dead air where we don't want them. Video would just exemplify the problem.<BR/><BR/>What's next if ideas like this continue? An entire race broadcast brought to you from fan-run mini-handycams and cell phones cameras in the stands? It may sound extreme, but that is what stuff like this could lead to, IMHO.<BR/><BR/>Just leave it to the professionals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-74807865346367065082009-03-03T20:34:00.000-05:002009-03-03T20:34:00.000-05:00well, espn finally starts to understand what the f...well, espn finally starts to understand what the folks at the original speedvision got all along<BR/><BR/>program for the fans<BR/><BR/>note that FOX Sunday race ratings were down yet again<BR/><BR/>they try to put a positive spin on it by saying its the same as THE AVERAGE rating since 2001<BR/><BR/>Can you say fans HATE DIGGER?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-53157482166974507552009-03-03T20:23:00.000-05:002009-03-03T20:23:00.000-05:00no no nono no noGlennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695831353283754366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-40724577783774652822009-03-03T20:00:00.000-05:002009-03-03T20:00:00.000-05:00Sounds like all the weirdos out there will be chec...Sounds like all the weirdos out there will be checking in with Nascar Nation on ESPN.
