Sportscentre needs a overhaul - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

I know many MANY threads are on here with regards to TSNs graphics and how the lack ... but this is going to regard just SPORTSCENTRE. I for one, know how sportscentre has looked the same for what ... 6 years? the same set ... everything the same since they built the studio to go HD in 2006 ... like come on, ESPN sportscenter looks so much more appealing to the eye ... all the graphics and music ... I for one am sick of Sportscentre ... not the program, just the look.

What are your opinions?

Why change set for the sake of changing the set? I watch Sportscentre for the highlights and scores. Not for the set.

I agree, couldn't care less about the set or the graphics or the music. They have a good cast of hosts and analysts and they do a great job overall. At the end of the day i just want the highlights, everything else is irrelevant.

Onrait and O'Toole are just hilarious. Could watch those two all day long...

They make Sportsnet look like a university lecture from a 68-year old professor.

Don't care about graphics or set. Again, looks a lot better than anything on Sportsnet.

TSN > Sportsnet IMO in its graphics, presentation and set. With that said, just got back from a trip down south and ESPN > TSN, but then we already knew that.

Still, I don't anticipate a change coming.

yea Onrait is cool i think they tried to give him his own show on much more once but never saw that again. sportscenter is still better than sportsnet. when it comes to graphics the sportscenter still looks better than the bland over the top graphics sportnet has now and they also i find the sportsnet theme gets really annoying after a while unlike the sportscenter theme

but like tha majority here i just like watching it for the sports news and only really care about the looks .0001% of the time
