Ken Fang of Fang’s Bites and I have an abbreviated version ofSports Media Weekly this week.
Ken an I are joined this week by Paulsen of Sports Media Watch.
We begin the show by tapping into Paulsen’s vast knowledge of ratings numbers as we dissect the reported success to date of Fox and TBS during their coverage of Major League Baseball’s playoffs.
We do the same with the NFL, which, although still king of the hill in ratings, is seeing decreases in viewership on some networks thus far over 2012. In our discussion we also bring up the report in the Wall Street Journalthat the NFL may be looking at adding an additional Thursday Night game to the schedule.
We move on to the changes ESPN has been making to the NBA Countdown crew, led by the departure last week of Magic Johnson.
We wrap the show by looking at how ESPN and Turner have been trying to get out of telecasting NASCAR in 2014, the last year of its contract before NBC and Fox take over the rights exclusively in 2015.
