On the new edition of the Sports Media Watch Podcast, host T.J. Rives and Jon Lewis of Sports Media Watch discuss TV ratings for the World Series, a big weekend of SEC football, the Kyrie Irving controversy, and more.
How is the Fall Classic faring in the ratings so far, and what will Monday’s rainout mean for the ratings going forward — particularly on Thursday night, when Game 5 of Astros-Phillies goes head-to-head with NFL action featuring the same two markets? How will a potential Game 7 fare opposite NBC’s Sunday Night Football?
Next, a recap of the weekend’s college and pro football ratings and predictions for the week ahead.
Then, the guys talk about the Brooklyn Nets and the controversial Kyrie Irving — now in the news for sharing a link to an antisemitic documentary on his social media page. What does the controversy say about him, and how do people fall into the conspiracy trap in the first place? As for the Nets, coach Steve Nash is already gone and is superstar Kevin Durant not far behind?
They wrap with some “Love it or Leave it?” on the subjects of the Big 12 TV deal and more crazy announcer travel.
It’s all part of the Sports Media Watch Podcast.
