The regional sports network side of the business is in a time of change. Today, we dive into the current challenges and opportunities facing the industry with a pair of gentlemen who know the business better than anybody. Matt Hutchings, President/CEO of Kroenke Sports and Entertainment Media Ventures (which owns Altitude Sports in Denver, Colorado) and Mark Shuken, President of the Pac-12 Networks join the program today to discuss pressing topics ranging from the impact of the arrival of Sinclair Broadcasting into the RSN ranks, how sports betting will alter the shape of the business, how their networks are appealing to younger audiences, and much more.
