What was the single biggest mistake that CBS Sports made regarding their Major League Baseball coverage from 1990-1993?
CBS Sports' coverage of Major League Baseball from 1990-1993 was widely criticized for its lack of excitement and innovation. The single biggest mistake that CBS made was failing to adapt to the changing landscape of sports broadcasting.
In the early 1990s, ESPN was revolutionizing the way that sports were covered on television. ESPN used a more fast-paced, personality-driven style that appealed to a younger audience. CBS, on the other hand, stuck with its traditional, slow-paced style that was seen as outdated by many viewers.
As a result, CBS's ratings for Major League Baseball declined steadily during the early 1990s. In 1993, CBS lost the rights to broadcast Major League Baseball to Fox, which adopted a more ESPN-like style.
