Sports Media Weekly No. 106- Joe D’Ambrosio, WTIC-AM, NBC Connecticut

http://sportsmediajournal.com/ Ken Fang of Fang’s Bites returns for this week’s edition of Sports Media Weekly. We open the show talking ratings, ratings, ratings; beginning with Game One of the NBA Finals, then shifting to the NHL Playoffs and finally the Belmont Stakes. Ken and I also touch upon the opening week of Euro 2012 on ESPN and the WWL’s plans to continue to use the Breakfast at Wimbledon branding for the tournament as it begins its exclusive U.S. coverage later this month. Our guest this week is the “Voice of the UConn Huskies”, Joe D’Ambrosio of WTIC-AM in Hartford and also of NBC Connecticut. Joe talks about his 20-plus years covering football and men’s and women’s basketball in the Nutmeg State and how the university dominates sports coverage. He also touches upon how unique Connecticut sports media is in terms of catering to followers of fans of both the Boston and New York sports teams.
