This one’s been on our back burner for a few days…
SportsTime Ohio has taken the wraps off of its shiny new website, and in the process, has also given some insight on the network’s upcoming programming moves.
The current schedule lists non-game programming starting to populate the schedule next week. STO is planning daily coverage of the Cleveland Browns’ training camp beginning on Wednesday, with an hour-long daily training camp wrapup show in late evenings…to be repeated the following day, usually in early evening.
New shows debuting next month include “Tee-it-Up Ohio” (a golf show, we presume) and “Outdoors Ohio” with veteran local outdoors media personality D’Arcy Egan. There are also new episodes of “Ohio Sports Profile”, looking at athletes with local ties…though we’re wondering if they’re actually going to play the one with now-traded former Indians closer Bob Wickman…
STO is also scheduling numerous replays of Syracuse University vs. TCU in the 1957 Cotton Bowl, and a show called “Syracuse Football: Legend of 44”. We’ll assume that’s on the schedule because of legendary Browns running back Jim Brown…
As for the website, it features such things as Indians news and a new Ohio sports message board, which has – among other things – featured users posting not-so-nice feelings about the Indians’ recent moves.
It’s kind of surreal to look at the list of message headers automatically fed to STO’s front page, including the header “Lied to once again! Thanks Shapiro/Dolan!”. At least the team-owned TV outlet is letting this stuff stay up…
