Why The Paris Olympics Have Soared In Viewership

Episode 418 of the Sports Media Podcast with Richard Deitsch features a roundtable discussion with Austin Karp, managing editor/newsletters for Sports Business Journal and A.J. Perez, a senior reporter for Front Office Sports. In this podcast we discuss the viewership for the Paris Olympics; what has worked with NBCU’s coverage and what hasn’t; Charles Barkley staying with WBD and the WSJ saying the company is exploring for Barkley a show that would allow him to talk about other sports that TNT and its sister channels carry, including hockey, college football and basketball, and Major League Baseball; where WBD is right now; the prospects of Venu this fall and more. You can subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more.
