Sports Media Weekly No. 108

http://sportsmediajournal.com/page/2/ t’s news, news, and more news on this week’s edition of Sports Media Weekly. This week’s program has no guest, so Ken Fang of Fang’s Bites and I thought we would touch upon a good number of news making headlines in the sports media world. We begin the show talking about the news that college football will have a four team playoff format beginning with the 2014 season. Ken and I speculate which media entity will likely be the high bidder for the rights of the three game playoff series. Both Ken and I like ESPN’s chances. We then delve into the news from ESPN that Chris Berman and Trent Dilfer will be calling the network’s nightcap of its season-opening Monday Night Football double header. The talk then shifts to Great Britain as we discuss the busy sports schedule for England with Wimbledon, the British Open, and the Olympics all taking place in the country over the next month and a half. We mention the benefits of NBC’s announcement today that people who want to watch the Olympics online can start the authentication process with their local cable or satellite provider now. Along the way in the show we discuss the move by CBS to enter the national sports radio market while saluting WFAN for its 25 years on the air. Ken and I also touch upon the prospects of a new morning show for the NFL Network and the strong viewership on ESPN for Euro 2012.

TV NEWS ON JUNE 27

http://blog.sitcomsonline.com/2012/06/antenna-tv-adds-barney-miller-benson-to.html We already have some Fall 2012 scheduling news for Antenna TV! They will showcase two more all-time favorite sitcoms to their line-up with the airings this fall of '70s classic Barney Miller and '80s staple Benson. Antenna TV, which airs on 65 affiliates across the U.S. reaching 60% of TV households, adds both programs to the network's Sunday night schedule starting Sunday, September 9, 2012. Barney Miller, with Hal Linden heading up an ensemble cast, originally aired on ABC from 1975 to 1982 and will air on Antenna TV Sundays at 8-9pm ET/5-6pm PT. Benson, with Robert Guillaume in the lead role, aired from 1979 to 1986 on ABC, as a spin-off from Soap. Antenna TV will air the series as back-to-back hours on Sunday nights, with Soap continuing to air at 11pm-12am ET/8-9pm PT and Benson following at midnight-1am ET/9pm-10pm PT. The rest of the Antenna TV Fall 2012 schedule will be announced later this summer, as part of our annual Fall cable schedule barrage starting in mid to late July. Will there be any more new additions, time slot changes, or more airings of Barney Miller/Benson? Stay tuned! The Antenna TV schedule will continue to include vintage favorites such as Leave It To Beaver, Father Knows Best, Good Times, Three's Company and All In The Family. Charlie Sheen fondly recalls his former series Two and a Half Men by selecting his 24 favorite episodes for special 12-hour Men marathon tomorrow (Thursday, June 28) from 9:00AM-9:00PM on FX. The Two and a Half Men marathon will lead into the launch of FX's highly anticipated summer comedy block which kicks off with two back-to-back episodes of Sheen's new sitcom Anger Management at 9:00PM and 9:30PM. Afterwards, the laughs continue with the season two premiere of Wilfred at 10:00PM, the season three premiere of Louie at 10:30PM, and the debut of Brand X with Russell Brand at 11:00PM (All times are ET/PT.) In Anger Management, Sheen stars as Charlie Goodson, a non-traditional therapist specializing in anger management. He has a successful private practice, holding sessions with his group of primary patient regulars each week, as well as performing pro bono counseling for an inmate group at a state prison. Charlie thrives on the chaos in his life while still battling his own anger issues. His life is complicated by his relationships with his own therapist/best friend (Selma Blair), an ex-wife (Shawnee Smith) whose positive outlook but poor choice in men frustrates Charlie, and their 13-year-old daughter who has OCD (Daniela Bobadilla). Michael Arden, Derek Richardson, Noureen DeWulf, and Barry Corbin also co-star. Bruce Helford serves as Executive Producer/Showrunner. Joe Roth, Mark Burg, Dave Caplan and Vince Totino are Executive Producers. Anger Management is produced by Lionsgate Television and distributed by Debmar-Mercury.

Chris Berman and Trent Dilfer to Handle ESPN MNF Opening Nightcap

http://sportsmediajournal.com/ ESPN announced today that Chrie Berman and Trent Dilfer will be in the booth for the second half of its season-opening NFL double header on September 10th. The pair will work the telecast featuring the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders with a kick-off set for 10:15p.m. ET. The new ESPN two-man booth featuring Mike Tirico and Jon Gruden will have the opener which will pit the Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens. Prior to the regular season debut, Berman and Dilfer will also call the Arizona Cardinals-Tennessee Titans MNF preseason game on Aug. 23rd. “I have worked with Boom for four years now and I’ve never been around someone who loves the NFL more than him,” said Dilfer. “I firmly believe that his passion and mine for the game of football will translate to the audience.” ESPN has had a number of broadcaster combinations through the years for the second half of these opening NFL double headers. Here are all the combinations since 2006: Year Game ESPN Commentators 2006 San Diego Chargers at Oakland Raiders Brad Nessler, Ron Jaworski and Dick Vermeil 2007 Arizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers Mike Greenberg, Mike Golic and Mike Ditka 2008 Denver Broncos at Oakland Raiders Greenberg, Golic and Ditka 2009 San Diego Chargers at Oakland Raiders Greenberg, Golic and Steve Young 2010 San Diego Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs Nessler and Trent Dilfer 2011 Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos Nessler and Dilfer 2012 San Diego Chargers at Oakland Raiders Chris Berman and Dilfer There will be a lot of debate over ESPN’s decision as we get closer to opening night. And as much as I would rather see someone other than Berman for this game, it is only one game and most viewers watch for the action on the field, not the announcers in the booth. We who analyze sports media sometimes forget that.

The rehabbing Philadelphia Phillies second baseman made quite the impression on Lehigh Valley manager Ryne Sandberg, a 2005 inductee. Utley, a five-time National League All-Star, went 2-for-5 with a solo home run to deep right field off Esmerling Vasquez in the bottom of the fourth inning and two strikeouts.

http://www.mcall.com/news/nationworld/pennsylvania/mc-pa-budget-update-062612-20120626,0,4946975.story FROM THE MORNING CALL HARRISBURG —— Pennsylvania's four state-related universities and the 14 state-owned universities would likely receive the same amount of money as they did last year; public schools and public libraries would also be level-funded, but a program that provides cash assistance to nearly 70,000 of the state's neediest citizens would come to an end. That's according to an outline made public Tuesday of a $27.656 billion state budget for 2012-13. But broad swaths of the document, and not least of which was a controversial proposal to roll seven, existing county-run human services programs into a single block grant program, were still under negotiation on Tuesday. Issues also caught in the budget's orbit, such as school reform, were also still under negotiation. » The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone.
