Media Monday: McAfee, Inc. & MS NOW’s Subscription Bet

from The Powers That Be: Daily · host Puck | Audacy

Jon Kelly joins Peter to unpack Pat McAfee’s takeover of ESPN’s marquee sports coverage, and why the network would rather license his self-owned production for $60 million per year than keep paying a salaried anchor like Stephen A. Smith. Then they digest MS NOW’s new $7.99-a-month subscription play, arguing why winning over cable-free fans of Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell could succeed where CNN+ once failed.
