Wide World of Women

The girl is smart, funny and very sexy. Few look better in a short skirt. She's stuck on a dumb show on a cable network that nobody gets and lacks a solid audience share! Frustrating because there hasn't been much posted on her. I was a big fan of hers from SN. At least I can hope, for her sake, that she's happy with the money and NYC. Otherwise her loyal fans are getting cheated!

I'm surprise she didn't gain ratings after her old show turned into a sauagefest. What's the ratings of SN now with two male co-host?

Beadle was always one of my favs.... But in reality it is her own fault, she had a loyal following on SN, but she chose to leave.

Joe Divola posts quite a bit on his youtube

Myself I love Beadle......but she can come across as a female dog. With that said other people in the networks know that to be true....Look at Andrews she lands a spot on fox and she is bitchy in a different way. Sometimes I think Bead needs to get out of her own way. N.B.C. Knows they have a good thing with the Bead....but they haven't quite figured out what to do with her...but they will.

The Crossover isn't the only show that Beadle is on. She also does segments for Access Hollywood.

They got rid of Dave Briggs cause he didn't get along with her

As they should considering that Briggs sucks and brings absolutely nothing to the table. Briggs was more suited to being Beadle's errand boy than he was her co-host.

That guy quit a cushy job at FOX News for that? Grass is not always greener.

I'll be surprised if Sportsnation right now with two guys hosting has more viewers than the Crossover. Honestly I rather watch Sportscenter with Lindsay than those two shows.

He should've waited for the FOX Sports 1 announcement and then try to get an anchor gig

Beadle used to be great, and honestly I think Cowherd brought it out in her.

I know Regis Philbin is getting a new sports show on Fox, that network would be wise to pull Cassidy Hubbarth from ESPN. Regis would put Cassidy over much the same way he did for Ripa. Cassidy is all around brilliant, just needs more of an audience and a format for her personality to thrive.

Crossover is donzo. Thanks 2 the crew who tried their damnedest. I'll let ya know what's next. Access Hollywood on NBC- Blake Shelton 2nite

He was terrible. I don't know why they thought a Fox News morning guy could keep up with Beadle in sports debate. Strange goings-on at NBC Sports..


Crossover now cancelled. Too bad as the show had improved. Ratings weren't much but you can say that about any NBCSN studio show. I read somewhere that Beadle had bad mouthed the network recently. So there were some problems going on here.

You could be right about something being off at NBCSN. Beads twitter feed was pretty interesting last night.

The show sucked with Dave and the original format. The retooled version was good, but NBCSN has hardly any promotion. They shoukd of replayed the show a couple times a night/morning. Even go the Lead Off route and replay it all late night.

Over at TWWL on Espn2 the retooled version would of been a success.

Maybe you don't get it, but Versus had a lot of sports on it so people in many areas have it. Now as the NBC Sports Network it got rid of most of what was left from OLN on Versus. But this show was real bad. And NBC Sports has no must watch show except that they stole the live feed of the Dan Patrick Show from FSN. However, Dan is not affiliated with them so his show is not on the new NBC Sports radio lineup. Lately the Network has been on a kick to take what it could that was not left on FS1 from when it was The Speed Channel. But oddly enough ESPN has somethings that were on Speed, yet they are losing Nascar in 2015.

I understand Beadle wanted out because Colin Cowherd was about to sign a deal where he would keep his radio show, but quit SN. I heard some interview where she said it was time to go with Colin not coming back. Basically, she made it sound like it was the right time to do something new. Why not stay on Espn? I have no idea. But it could be the chance to be with Access Hollywood also attracted her.

Here is the transcript:
And your time at ESPN on SportsNation, the entire time, you thought of it as a stepping-stone for bigger and better things?

[Laughs] That sounds horrible. I think of everything as a learning experience. No, that was my first real, ‘wow, this is like really kind of like something I am apart of.’ I felt like I owned it. Up until that point I felt like I had been a part of things but it didn’t feel like they were mine. And along with Colin [Cowherd] on this one, it was just our baby and it was fun. I knew that I probably couldn’t do a show like that forever. I mean, who the heck wants to see a 45-year-old oo-ing and ahh-ing over silly graphics, and that’s fine, but it just so happened that my contract ended this year and I knew whatever I did next, I kind of had to look at the future. So, even though I wasn’t really necessarily ready to leave, I really, really loved that crew. And I know that sounds cheesy, but I’m not a cheesy person and I don’t get emotional, but that crew and everyone I worked with was just awesome. Um, it was time, I couldn’t do another three years I knew Colin was leaving at the end of the year. A good offer came along and I had to take advantage. And I’ll be honest, moving back to New York was such a big deal to me. Connecticut’s a wonderful state if you’re settled with children, but it’s a difficult live if you’re single and just kind of hanging out.

Now SN is from LA. I don't know why it moved there.

Michelle Beadle appeared on the Sports Media Weekly podcast last week in an interview with our Ken Fang and spoke openly about the struggle in promoting her NBCSN show The Crossover. The struggle has ended abruptly as Richard Sandomir of the New York Times reports that NBC has canceled the show. The writing was on the wall with The Crossover changing formats and timeslots and most recently being preempted by America's Cup sailing on a routine basis - including today. Still though, in comparison to other NBCSN studio shows, The Crossover was doing comparable numbers. Via Son of the Bronx, The Crossover averaged 35.9k viewers in 7 episdoes from September 2-8. Pro Football Talk averaged 40k viewers in 4 episodes during the same timespan.

It's a discouraging sign for NBCSN that their studio shows can't get on track and attract viewers, but live sports rules all. It appears that NBCSN may try more pre and postgame NHL coverage and invest more in the NFL in place of The Crossover.

Beadle has always maintained she wants to do sports and entertainment at NBC. Perhaps the peacock will find a new role for her on that live event coverage, who knows. Whatever the case, it's back to the drawing board once again for NBCSN.

Looks like Colin Cowherd has a new show on ESPN2.
http://www.awfulannouncing.com/2013/sep ... weird.html

One of ESPN's most controversial voices will have a new outlet to vent his unique but oft-criticized views when Colin Cowherd's new Sunday morning football show premieres this weekend.

Cowherd's show, which is quite literally being called "Colin's New Football Show" (what will they call it when it's no longer new?), will air Sundays at 9 a.m. ET on ESPN2, giving Cowherd the ability to capitalize on the transition period in which many of us are still reflecting on Saturday's college football action while preparing for Sunday's NFL games.

I also found this:
Jerk sports radio host sends offensive Michelle Beadle tweet
http://www.awfulannouncing.com/2013/sep ... tweet.html

Mike Missanelli at 97.5 The Fanatic wondered aloud about "the lbs round Michelle Beadle's middle" while Beadle was a part of NBC's NFL kickoff coverage. You think any sports personality is tweeting that about Dan Patrick or Al Michaels? I think not. Beadle caught word of the tweet and sent this in response:

As much as people don't like Colin Cowherd, he totally put Beadle over. He is the proverbial ugly girl at the bar who makes the marginal girl next to him look Beadle. Beadle doesn't have much going on and her face is dopey.
