Is that game worth watching?

Kai Ryssdal Oct 7, 2010

This final note today. A true story: I was on my way home last night, listening to my public radio station, when the local All Things Considered host gave the score of the Phillies-Reds playoff game. No spoiler alert… no nothing. Saved me three hours of watching the game on TiVo, I s’pose.

But today, a possible solution. A new service that lets fans know when a game is worth watching. Thuuz tracks games in real time — how close the score is, what the pacing’s like, good individual plays. Then it alerts you by email or text when a game is getting really hot. Best of all? It won’t tell you the final score.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you. 

You rely on Marketplace to break down the world’s events and tell you how it affects you in a fact-based, approachable way. We rely on your financial support to keep making that possible.
