As we close out April on this edition of the show, host T.J. Rives is back with Jon Lewis of SportsMediaWatch.com with several topics. This includes the upcoming NFL Draft to be televised from Las Vegas on ESPN/ABC and the NFL Network. How do the Draft ratings compare to other sports around the same time.
The guys also discuss the absence of ESPN College Football analyst Kirk Herbstreit due to a medical condition. And, also this week apparently ends the run of host Kay Adams on “Good Morning Football” on the NFL Network. Where is she headed next and what are Jon's thoughts on the sports TV morning programming in general.
The subject then turns to the NBA- the elimination of Kevin Durant and the Nets and whether Turner analyst Charles Barkley is out of line with comments about Durant being a “bus rider” for playoff success and championships?
Then, some “Love it or Leave it?” covers subjects like Gus Johnson's p x p announcing, the USFL and whether their ratings/audience numbers are headed off the cliff and also some old school 1950s and 1960s TV talk, too.
It's all part of the “Sports Media Watch.com Podcast” and make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, etc.!!
