Or watching "Sports Scope" (the original headline sports/the score) and just waiting for the scores to cycle through to the game I was interested in.

I remember that yellow pages thing. It had a name tha eludes me right now. I used to call it to get weekly wrestling rumours by... It wasn't Dave Meltzer (or was it?) but it was somebody who had a big presence in the wrestling rumours pages on the internet around the turn of the century.
There was also that channel that was all text based. The backgrounds were red green and blue. I don't remember which colour went where but a small bar along the top and a small bar along the bottom. One bar was for weather, one was for a sports ticker and the large section was scrolling news... or something like that. I think a local radio station was on that channel or something because that is where I'd hear Paul Harvey's Rest Of The Story.
