For nine years, "Pardon the Interruption" called a small studio in central Washington, D.C. (photo), its home -- building hefty ratings and viewership (drawing an average 1.1 rating and 1.29 million viewers in 2009) on the strength of relationship between co-hosts Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon.This week, though, "PTI" moved to another studio in the nation's capital.
That ABC-owned facility, thereby part of the Disney/ESPN family, used to serve as home for "Nightline" produced by ABC News. It provides high-definition capabilities and some high-tech bells and whistles the talk show never enjoyed in the past.
Still, the secret to success for "PTI" is not about the location. It's about the people -- a "genius" and two best friends who happen to enjoy sports.

"two best friends who happen to enjoy sports." Couldn't have said it any better. This is one of my favorite shows on ESPN. I am glad though that it went to HD, it just looks so much better with out the bars on the sides of the TV. I catch this show daily even when I am working. I guess that is a plus of working for DISH Network.
