With the Heat-Nuggets NBA Finals series about to start, hosts Andrew Marchand and John Ourand look into the league’s media performance throughout the playoffs, comparing the game broadcasts and studio shows from both ESPN and TNT and previewing the league’s rights deals, which will start to be negotiated next year.
Marchand and Ourand also preview the NHL’s Panthers-Golden Knights Stanley Cup Final, which will be carried entirely on cable for the first time ever.
SBJ’s TV ratings expert Austin Karp returns with his regular Karp’s Korner segment to offer his viewership predictions in both sports.
Marchand and Ourand dive into financial analyst Michael Nathanson’s new, more dire prediction about how far cable TV will fall, preview what will happen as Diamond continues to try and operate through bankruptcy and give a review of last week’s Sports Business Awards, where Fox Sports and Eric Shanks swept the media categories.
As always, Marchand and Ourand offer their choices for Who’s Up and Who’s Down for the week, featuring Charles Barkley, Peter Drury, Kevin Harlan and Crane Kenney.
