It's tough to figure which existing thread to add this to, so I'll create an new one.

There will be no NHL games tonight and the league hopes that they can continue the season later.

We can add the AHL, MLB's spring training, the beginning of the regular season, the NFL's spring meetings, and all NCAA tournaments. I can't imagine what the sports channels are going to do.

Disney parks closing and March Madness cancelled now, too.

Add the MLS and the USL (minor soccer league).

Speculation: classic games and documentaries. (I can easily see ESPN loading up the schedule with their “30 for 30” films, for example.)

A few times, the TV in my gym’s locker room was showing bowling on Fox Sports.

According to John Ourand of the “Sports Business Journal”-

ESPN: SportsCenter all day and night

ESPNEWS: video simulcasts of radio shows (First Take, Your Take Radio and The Will Cain Show) and taped programming

ESPN2: simulcast a combination of ESPN and ESPNEWS.

I am not making this up: I thought that was a joke.

That's really what they're going to?

I mean, I get it, but...wow.

Trying to decide if that says more about Fox Sports or about your gym. :)

During the run-up to the 2016 election, the TVs at my gym went from cable news 24/7 to whatever is/was showing sports that the staff want to put on because they got tired of being in the middle of the debates between people who insist on Fox News and people who hate Fox News. The TVs are mounted in threes, and one of each trio has been on the local Fox affiliate since the Super Bowl, another has been on TNT for basically the entire NBA season, and the third got flipped from ESPN to CNBC on Monday.

Seen on Twitter just now:

“Here’s ESPN’s updated schedule without sports.

Lots of 30 for 30 films and classic games.”
