On the latest edition of the show, Jon Lewis is back with host T.J. Rives to discuss the ratings disaster of the just concluded Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.
What will NBC have to do for sponsors after their ratings dropped more than 50% in primetime from Rio in 2016? Jon asserts that NBC knew it would be bad and has to have an overall plan for ads/helping increase viewers.
Up next, ESPN is still scrambling but taking a new approach with a new NBA coverage point person. Jon has thoughts on what it will mean, or not for their pregame and half time shows. Plus, what might the newest version of the ABC/ESPN studio team look like?
Then, it’s some more “Love it or Leave it?” with subjects like Barstool Sports looking to get into televising a bowl game and maybe about to vie for the weeknight MLB package as well. Plus, was Jon Lewis a big Little League home run hitter in his day and what does he think of the non-stop coverage upcoming by ESPN of the Little League World Series on TV? Does he “love it?”
