Absent major studios or national theater franchises, this system was generally the best way to ensure national release of a film, particularly for shorter films. However, in terms of profitability, the states rights system wasn't the most effective way to screen feature- length films since the film's producers only made money on the initial sale of each film copy. This method also made it possible to screen films of various genre which may be illegal in one state but legal in another. With the roadshow system, the producer would enter into an agreement with each theater, with priority given to large-seating and famous theaters.

He helped people get recorded, but he made money on it himself and a lot of times got copyrights on songs he never wrote…. And what you noticed most was it was you out on the streets scufflin’, trying to get by, not him.” In June 1939, Long was elected mayor of the city of Elon College, North Carolina.

In 2007 and 2008, the two were often joined by one of either Eric Karros, Joe Girardi, Mark Grace or Eric Byrnes. As previously mentioned, due to poor ratings and budget concerns (Fox never made money on national advertising sales that are seen on Fox NFL Sunday as they were instead, sold by the local affiliates), Fox in 2009, decided to scrap the studio/pregame show altogether (in return, Zelasko and Kennedy were also dropped by Fox – Kennedy has since re-appeared on Fox Sports as a fill-in commentator). The show was retained for the postseason; for the LCS in 2009 and 2010, Chris Rose hosted from Fox's studio in Los Angeles with analysts Karros and Grace. For the 2011 NLCS and the 2009, 2010 and 2011 World Series, the show used an on-field studio for the pregame show.
