Re: The Sports Media Thread (sports on tv and radio)

This thread is a good idea. If it catches on i'll report anything from the couple or so sports media/business podcasts that I listen to.

Richard Dietsch's latest has an interview with Jamele Hill. Excellent interview if you haven't heard it yet.


North of the border, Sportsnet just turned 20 years old. It's the only network I can think of that came up later than its legacy competition and completely blew it out of the water. It took a long time though, The first 5 years it looked like it wasn't going to make it as CTV went off and bought TSN and they were without a backer. It took Ted Rogers buying the Blue Jays and then Sportsnet to really kick things in gear. Now Sportsnet is easily the #1 sports TV/media brand in Canada.

Re: The Sports Media Thread (sports on tv and radio)

The milwaukee U men's and women's basketball programs has released their FS Wisconsin schedule

https://mkepanthers.com/news/2018/10...wisconsin.aspx

Re: Sportsnet

There's already an OTT service but they're going tiered with Sportsnet+ which will lift regional restrictions on NHL games and add other sports. I'm guessing this opens up their Sportsnet World channel to those subscribers as well.




Anywho, a couple NBA media notes:

- Candace Parker is joining TNT and NBATV. She will do games and studio work.

- Players Only is moving to Tuesday nights on TNT.

- NBA Gametime on NBATV will be rebranded as Gametime Live and there will now be an NBA Crunch time channel/service that's similar to NFL Redzone.


All this is courtesy of "Scooter" Vertino SVP of sports programming for Turner Sports as he was a guest on the @sportsTVratings podcast.

Re: The Sports Media Thread (sports on tv and radio)

Would love some podcast suggestions. I just got into podcasting in the last year and looking for regulars to listen to.
