Are these really popular shows in the States? Or 'schedule fillers'?

People like these shows.  I never really got into them.  PTI seems to be the more popular of the two.  I am very rarely in front of the TV when they're on but I catch it occasionally.  In general, i'd say they are pretty popular...

I watch PTI if I notice it is on.

I listen to one or both depending on what time I leave the office on my Sirius. They're on the ESPN channel (not to be confused with ESPN Radio)

I find them entertaining but don't make special effort to catch the shows. I work from home so I usually sit down for a bite to eat about that time and turn on ESPN.

I watch Around the Horn more than PTI these days, but think both are good sports-talk shows. I won't go as far as Tivo'ing either of them, but I watch them most days when I get home from work.

I sure wish they would have had an ESPN channel when I was stationed at RAF bases in the UK ('83-'84), because there was literally "nothing" on British TV that was worth watching at that time.

I watch PTI every day.  It's a good way to get plugged into the major sports stories, and it's mixed up with their kooky personalities.  I like it a lot.

I'll catch Around the Horn during football season, but I always watch PTI (Actually, I record it on my DVR and watch the 8 minute version).

Thanks for the input people! When I asked, I half expected a negative reaction, cos when I first caught these shows I wasn't very impressed. To be fair, I'm very 'anti' sports discussion programs over here, so I guess that was colouring my impression, added to the fact that I wasn't fully concentrating, so I was just picking up lots of shouting & bickering...

As they got a decent rep here, I paid them due attention tonight - and enjoyed them both! Not to mention adding to my knowledge whoohooo.
