The Mothership has made an offer for Katie Nolan from FS1, to join the replacement for Mike & Mike. If the rumors are true, she definitely deserves it after all that has happened at FS1.

This would be great. FREE Katie Nolan!!!

Katie is getting dumped on at Fox.

Katie don't need no side kick or partner she is a full grown woman.

She is intelligent, conversational & has great self-effacing sarcastic Witt. What the heck does a woman got to do at Fox to get some air time? Win critical acclaim, outperform other shows during your time slot? Not sue the network for sexual harassment. Whatever, her day/ late night show will come. Somewhere soon I hope!

FREE Katie Nolan!!!

This makes no sense to me.
She's now been a big part of 2 TV shows (on a national network) that no one watched.
How great can she be?

She's had plenty of airtime.
When does she start producing some ratings?

Would she because I know she's interviewed or been interviewed by Simmons the Sports Guy and Cowherd (both formerly on ESPN)? Unsure if they would recommend ESPN to her since both guys left.

another chick who thinks she is funnier and smarter than everyone else. No talent, no ratings. Maybe a sportsnation type show but she is nothing special.

Her show recently won an emmy. Problem is FOX Sports ratings have been awful especially after Charissa went to the big show.

Yes, for Outstanding Social TV Experience.
Anyone want to try and explain what any of that means?

FS1 ratings were awful when Charissa was there too.
Another one who keeps getting jobs despite never having any ratings success.

Haters out the woodworks. An Emmy is a freaking Emmy.

The reason I think ESPN "wooing" Katie Nolan is good for people who enjoy watching her Brand of entertainment is that she has gone from an entertainer that basically started out for free, then moved up to YouTube sensation and then got a taste of the big leagues with the dead awful crowd goes wild show.

I think Katie is a genius if you enjoy that brand of entertainment. Garbage Time, once it settled on it's late night time was as good as any show during that time period based on ratings!

Fox Sports 1 is in it's genesis and they are over thinking what the consumer wants. Katie Nolan having options means FS1 or ESPN will get the heck out of her way and let her do what she does. But the Suits have to comment to a show and not jerk it around.

If Katie's brand of entertainment is not your cup of tea, that's cool just turn off the sound and enjoy the eye candy!

I never said there was anything wrong with it, I said I didn't understand what she got it for.
Do you?

According to the cable ranker, FS1 isn't really doing that bad, they are ahead of ESPN2, FBN, CNBC, The Weather Channel, NBC Sports Network, and others. Here is the February ranker, led by FNC:

FS1 needs sports rights

That's how you get ratings, air live sports but alot of the rights have already been secured by ESPN

FS1 will take time to get ratings

Without any type of pure highlights show except for what they have with soccer, NASCAR Race Hub, and the occasional Saturday afternoon or evening pregame in baseball, there isn't much to see anymore.

They had a pure highlights show from the very beginning where they hired those 2 Canadian guys but their ratings sucked so they changed their show up into a late night chat fest but that sucked too.

Now, I'm reading they're not getting resigned after their contract ends

I meant in terms of their current programming, because I was an avid watcher of the early shows back in 2013-2014.

Charissa Thompson definitely knows how to command an interview, that is for sure.

Back to my main point...
Jay and Dan are going back to TSN, where they first became famous in their native Canada. Guess it is back to watching clips on YouTube again. :Victory
