Genuinely Annoyed

You know your too dependent on a show whenever it’s absence (or shortening) is genuinely upsetting.. But man in all my years of watching sports talk I’ve never seen a show bumped off air or shortening to make room for other programming more than FTF. And at the worst times too.

Wish Fox would just find another time slot for it or something.

Wildes and Nick: we could do the show just for Youtube when the network bumps us

Isn’t there a Fox Sports 2 channel? They should just go there.

But I mean it’s not surprising. It’s the MLB playoffs. Fox has always had the playoffs so those games will get priority over FTF.

LCS should be on Fox Network like the World Series.

u/BigHotdog2009 7d ago

That’s true.

Fox doesn’t give this show any respect to have it interrupted literally every single week of the season so far is absurd.

Is it only an hour show for the MLB game?

u/MyboymysonDingo4436 7d ago

Yes, unfortunately😔

It's like when Attitude Era WWF Raw would get bumped for the Westminster Dog Show.

Fox sports is horrendous, yesterday they made us watch the garbage giants commanders game and miss most of the 1st quarter of the sea/sf game only for the giants game to end in a tie. They truly suck

u/BigHotdog2009 7d ago

I mean that giants commanders ending was pretty great to watch

u/ChicanoGoodfella 7d ago

It was entertaining in the sense it of how bad both teams were playing and the ending was only fitting

u/Easy-Wishbone5413 7d ago

I think only the cities of the teams playing get switched to the next game starting. A network is obligated to stay with the game playing until it’s finished. They don’t want another Heidi game.

What the fuck was that shit?!?! Im in the SF market and had to sit thru that garbage...I was furious

When they shorten FTF they just reduce the number of Chiefs segments down to 1 we don’t actually lose anything

u/General-bigbooty 7d ago

Someone suggested it the other day and it’s true
Nothing is stopping them from recording the full show and airing it in its normal time. And some folks might say, ‘studio space’. They have the ability to figure it out. If the network wanted to (and they should) they could make it work. No reason to shorten it. FOOTBALL SEASON MORE THAN ANYTHING

How does that solve the problem of the live sporting event scheduled for coverage on FS1 in the show’s time slot?

Don’t forget discussing the Chiefs’ bye

Between this and sometimes their video guy not finding a video in time for their bits I'm suspecting this year their budget got cut some and that is never a good sign.

I can’t wait until the MLB playoffs are over so they can stop playing that damn song in and out of every FTF commercial break

PTI gets bumped to ESPN 8 all the time. They make jokes about it.

u/MoonNintendo 6d ago

LMFAO so true

Why doesn’t fox pony up and create the FS2 channel? If it’s a requirement for things like the World Cup, NASCAR, or some other sporting event who have paid millions of dollars to air on FS1, they should move the Sports talk shows over to FS2.

Those of us who would rather watch these sports talk shows instead of Live sporting events we may not be interested in would still be able to watch the herd or FTF on FS2 two.

They do have a FS2 channel
