Hows Line is it Anyway

That's not a bad comparison to the PAC.

Who's Line is it Anyway was a big hit several years ago on the BBC, was picked up by a studio and major network in the states, and because their show lost it's edge they're now looking at the CW. (It's in syndication likely bringing in as much in royalties as PAC school's do in revenue from the conference payouts. )

The PAC ... once was a big hit on ESPN and ABC. But, the PAC has lost it's edge ...

Now they've pitched the four broadcast networks, the ESPN family, explored options including AppleTV, and are now looking at the CW.

This is a deal that should be worth hundreds of dollars.

I don't know if you are aware ...

This past January the CW did sign a media rights agreement with the LIV tour. (They have over 200 affiliates around the states and I can't speak to what it gives the conference in exposure.)

Where the PGA tour receives over 700 million per year in their media rights, the CW isn't paying the LIV any money for theirs.

So where does that leave the PAC? Media rights agreements where they challenge CUSA in total revenue?

BBC's version of Whose Line...is so much better than the Drew Caray version.

This is pretty big for the CW. First, the LIV and now a major college conference.

Clive Anderson: quite the resume.

I remember when ESPN was first a start up. PAC games were always on late on ESPN. When I was on CQ (Charge of Quarters). It kept me awake during those 24 hour watches.

Australian rules rugby would keep you up just trying to understand the rules.

Not just Clive, but Tony Slattery...God! He's hilarious. Both Ryan, Greg, and Colin could be...well, nearly as dirty as they wanted to be.
