Arizona Diamondbacks at San Diego Padres, May 7, 2009 12:35 PM PDT
Early game alert! I hope the boys weren't out binge drinking too late last night.
I got my radio here, a banana that has turned brown and a tennis ball. I'm ready to go.
Here's the line up:
Jenny Cavnar has challenged us to help her get to 550 followers on her twitter by March 15th and if she does accomplish this feat, then she will answer one question for us about a Channel 4 personality. As Dex says, it shouldn't be a problem, we're ugly as hell and have no information and some how we got to 600+.
So get a twitter account if you don't have one and follow @jennych4 for ridiculously cute Padres updates.
Go Padres!

I doubt it
The Padres don’t really pad their pocket books with Rockies and DBacks games. Those are usually some of the more poorly attended series’. Especially when they are on weekdays. It doesn’t seem a little more sparsely attended than usual, but that’s to be expected.

I can’t imagine Channel 4 gets more ad revenue by not showing the game. I was told by more than one GLBer that you should just go to the game if you want to see it so bad. Suffice it to say, I didn’t find that answer acceptable.

They have a few shows in primetime
But I don’t think they show anything during the day, so it’s probably infomercials?

I agree
doesn’t make sense at all to not show the game . It also looks like Channel 4 is the only channel that does not show weekday afternoon games but since I didn’t do much research on that so I could be wrong.

I would wager
That other stations take them off from time to time. But, maybe Channel 4 is the only one that never shows weekday day games. The only time I recall them showing one in recent memory was the day game at Yankee Stadium last year.

Um, how about the fact they would have no ratings at all? It's all about ratings
and my understanding is that they have low ratings even at night. Besides, the majority of people who watch games are going to be at work. What area all of you doing that allows you to just sit at home on a weekday and watch a game? And most local channels don’t broadcast weekday day games. It’s not the norm, so Channel 4 is doing what most do.

But, yeah, I’d consider DVRing it and ignoring the score until I watched it. But I wouldn’t watch their commercials, so catering to people like that is not in their best interest.

Exactly
Sponsors look at ratings and decide what’s fair for them to pay, it’s a value metric. If they’re losing money on night games during prime time, they’re bleeding it out for the production cost of a day game.

Look at it like this
The fact that we are talking about a Padres game right now means that there is demand, which we can translate to at least some ratings.
Show me a place where people are talking about wanting to catch today’s Andy Griffith on Channel 4, and then I’ll believe that there’s ratings for that.

You’re the reason the sponsors look at the the metric and say “I’m not paying you shit for that because nobody will see my ad” and Ch4 goes “well, damnit, we’re not going to come close to even scratching the surface for covering the cost of production, screw it, no game.”

Well, people work, that's a fact of life and not
everyone can or want to work from home, so there is going to be a very small audience, compounded by the fact that something like 1/3 of SD County can’t even get Channel 4 to begin with (I heard that). I don’t understand why people don’t get it, it makes perfect sense. And the people that care about the Padres enough to blog on here is a small minority, not the average baseball fan.

Well, I think you're giving the Padres more credit than
they deserve, I don’t know anyone that would or could take a day off from work once a week to watch a game on tv and stay at home moms are way to busy to watch tv, and many don’t care about baseball. And if the advertisers won’t pay for a day game, they won’t broadcast it. I can’t think of any market I have ever lived in that broadcasts weekday games. It’s just not the norm. We all may be die hards that would do that stuff you mention, but there are very few of us that would do that. It’s wishful thinking. And I talked to someone at Channel 4 that says even their evening ratings are abysmal when the team isn’t good, so to me, it makes little sense to broadcast it.

That someone took a day off of work to watch the Padres? I just said that someone may have the day off of work (kid is sick or something).
Plus, if people aren’t willing to take days off of work to watch a game. THEN WHY ARE THEY HAVING A F***ING DAY GAME TO BEGIN WITH!

I agree about the day games, but it is getaway day
so they do that so teams can leave earlier. That’s why it’s always on Thursdays which is kind get away day.
I am not saying they couldn’t consider broadcasting it, I am just saying that it makes sense to me that they are not and I don’t understand why people gripe about it every time that they are not on tv. Maybe ask Channel 4 sometime what the reason is. That’s all I am saying on the topic.

As far as those who think Bud Black is the problem and thus should be fired….what manager could get the job done with this roster ? Is Black really the problem ? have never seen a case of poor play so blatantly not the managers fault. No one…no manager could squeeze more than 75 to 80 wins out of this roster.

is what they were predicting in the offseason. I think he’d have to start those rehab games real soon to make it back before June and that’s without any setbacks (which will probably happen unless he’s been touched by Jesus or something).
