Sports on a Sunday?

March 31, 2024

The Angels earned their first win of the season. It was a busy morning so I missed most of the game. I just don’t understand Bally Sports’ habit of not rebroadcasting Sunday games on Sunday. The game started at 10:30 AM here, there is probably room on the schedule to show it at least one more time in a more traditional time slot.

There was a Dodgers game on ESPN this afternoon. We aren’t even a full week into the season and we are already on our third outlet broadcasting a Dodgers game. Could you imagine if Saturday’s game was shown on Fox? What a mess. I paid very little attention to this game. I was still busy. This is a good reminder that this project is tracking the amount of fast food commercials I watch and not how many were actually shown.

My divided attention is reflected in the number of commercials I watched. I have a strong feeling that Bally Sports showed more than one commercial for Jack in the Box.

The Logs

A short Mastodon thread for today’s Angels game.

Just tuning into the game. There was a Jack in the Box banner ad when the game returned for the top of the 6th.

It should be noted that it is a busy morning and this game is barely background noise to me right now.

A Smashed Jack mid-game ad in the top of the 8th.
