They went to break at 2:10 today then they came back. Looks like they are having the hosts lead right into the Sportscenters every 20 minutes. I like it. You can bounce to B&B during the earlier commercials. They are no longer in sync with the Score's clock. |

El Justin told us this was happening soon, thought the timing was a bit funky this morning. |

Noticed it this AM, both national and local. Interested to see what the timing pattern is as I normally flip around as well (can only take so many Webb Boy comms). Not being as veteran as others on the board...how often do they change things up? |

ESPN has been the same for a long time. Seems like the Score changes every year or so. Just so the PDs can say they did something. |

First time I've noticed a timing change. I've listened regularly since 2003. |

Maybe I screwed up the term. What do you call it in the industry Mac? A "clock" or a "wheel". Does ESPN call it something different? We know it's no longer "remotes" and "segments". I want to learn. |

Minus the obvious timing changes...Are they cutting the guys off early and coming back late on the terrestrial broadcast? |

yes they are getting cut off and come back late. But I am sure they are working on this, Right? |

They don't really need those commercials -- the whole town is still talking about them. |

I'm loving the commercials in the middle of the broadcast on the web-stream. I didn't want to hear what Plesac had to say anyways. 
Honestly, I just have to know: how many years does 1000 expect it to take to sort out the timing of the commercials on the web-stream? 10? 20? Or is the simply an incorrigible problem? |

Put me down as not liking the new "clock management." I was so used to the :15, :35, :50, :55 ending segments that I had somewhat of an idea what time it was without looking at the clock. Now I'm just confused   .

Did you go to north or south ? |

Actually, clock and wheel are both used by those "in the biz." You'll get used to it.... as we will. It takes only a bit of time. |

Last clock change was in 2004/2005, I believe. Back then, the local ESPN 1000 programing would start at :05 or :06 after the hour, and go until :20, then Sportscenter, then break. Come back at :25, go to :40, SC, then break, etc. I liked that one better than the one up until today. |

i'm bumping this just because i want to say... this....BLOWS! Having the first segment at 15 minutes to me is important to get the rhythm going and this just seems to stifle it. also i can't stand commercials, especially on the radio, and the way the show is cut up now, it feels like there are MORE even if there aren't. |

Oh no. I will not live through another message board panic because of timing changes. Didnt we already go through this with B&B? Have we not learned people? |

It's fine. With the change and B&B's clock there is more talk and less commercials. For me it's one big MJHBB show with very a small amount of commercials. For those who like B&B and MJH it's great. |

At least the web cast is broadcasting the whole show or so it seems. Before was brutal when it would cut to commerical in the middle of the interview. |

Maybe the innumerable screw-ups over the last several years were all part of a grand scheme to lower expectations. |

Hehe, when I typed that the "lowered expectations" skit from MadTV popped into my mind. |
