Okay, let's be real. Trying to figure out what channel anything is on these days is like solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded. Especially something as important as a tribute to Kobe Bryant.
Seriously, is it ESPN? TNT? Maybe even the Hallmark Channel if we're lucky enough to get a super sentimental, made-for-TV movie vibe?
The Great Channel Hunt: A Comedy of Errors
First, you frantically scroll through your cable guide. Then, you ask your tech-savvy nephew, who just shrugs. Finally, you end up Googling, which leads you down a rabbit hole of conflicting information. Sound familiar?
I swear, it's like the TV networks are actively trying to confuse us. They're probably laughing in their boardrooms, sipping expensive coffee while we tear our hair out.
Don't even get me started on streaming services! Is it Peacock? Paramount+? The possibilities are endless… and endlessly frustrating.
My Unpopular Opinion: Simpler Times, Please!
Okay, here's my potentially controversial take. Remember when things were simpler? When major events were just… on a major network?
Like, ABC, CBS, or NBC. End of story. No apps to download, no subscriptions to manage. Just good old-fashioned, readily available television.
I know, I know. I'm basically yelling at a cloud. But a girl can dream, right?
The Tribute Trap: Avoiding the Void
The worst part is missing the tribute altogether. Imagine scrolling through social media the next day, seeing everyone talking about it, and realizing you missed out.
That’s a special kind of FOMO. The kind that makes you question your entire existence and your choices of TV providers.
So, what's the solution? Preemptive channel surfing. Set every possible channel to record. Or just embrace the chaos and hope for the best. Good luck!
Where's the Love? (And the Lakers Gear?)
It's not just about the channel, though. It's about the respect. It's about honoring a legend, Mamba Mentality and all.
Is the tribute going to be a heartfelt celebration? Or a quick segment squeezed between commercials for the latest vacuum cleaner?
I'm hoping for the former, obviously. I'm picturing emotional speeches, highlight reels that make you want to dust off your old Lakers jersey, and a sense of collective remembrance.
The Bottom Line (and the Channel Lineup)
Look, I don't have the answer to the "What channel is it on?" question. If I did, I'd be writing this from my yacht, not my couch.
But I can offer solidarity. We're all in this confusing, channel-surfing mess together.
So, grab your remote, your snacks, and maybe a stress ball. Let the channel hunt begin! And may the odds be ever in your favor... or at least point you towards a decent tribute to Kobe.
And if all else fails, there's always YouTube. (Just kidding... mostly.)
