Broadcast Heavies Declare Tournament A Bust!

What left sports fans reeling in despair, has also left the broadcast network for the World's Great Tournament in March exasperated! Broadcast director for the tournament, Louisana Louie, declared that the weekend upsets mean certain victory for rival networks. "Nobody in their right mind will give a pelican's beak if the Curling Olympians beat the Hanger ons, or if those PhD nutjobs out-score the Librarians!", exclaimed Mr. Louie during an outrageous press conference shortly after the conclusion of the Sunday games.

Sadly, Mr. Louie may be right. In a viewer poll released by MediaWeek this morning, it is clear that The World's Greatest Tournament in March faces a great uphill battle to retain its audience for the final games. In fact, the most condemning bit of data that surfaced in the survey was the fact that respondents would rather watch anything but these final games - including show's like "Knitting with Gramma Kay" and "Musty Joe's Tales of Tobasco"; two shows that have failed to draw more than 12 viewers in their short run on Public Access.


"Welllll, you see now, people do wanna watch good ol' Gramma Kay." Said her dear friend Melinda Sunflower. "She's making a nice sweater for her granddaughter on this week's show, too"

Mr. Louie who had just read the news exploded with venom in a brief interview this morning, "Musty Joe doesn't even like hot foods! I've watched that show! He takes a bite... his eyes fill with water, his body shakes, his skin turns red and then green, and he concludes with either passing out cold, or crying to his momma! He's a moron, egads!"


Egads is right! Will you continue to pay attention?
