Great piece in The Cornell Daily Sun:
I recorded a normal hour-long SportsCenter and watched it, stopwatch and notepad in hand. I took record of how many of the 60 minutes were spent actually showing highlights… a measly 15 percent (nine minutes) was appropriated towards actual game footage… The notion that we watch SportsCenter for highlights and get them less than a quarter of the time is outright obnoxious. The numbers do not lie, people — something is amiss.
Amen, brother.
