Back today as we look at the world of Sports Media and anything else in between. The Stanley Cup Finals may not be burning up the TV ratings (thank you, Versus and Gary Bettman), but there is some buzz. We mentioned last night that Don Cherry would be coming over to the US on Monday […]

Today, it definitely feels like a Wednesday. Middle of the week and I’m ready for the weekend. Here are some links for you. Michael McCarthy of USA Today says NBA TV announcers would like to have the arenas tone down the Fire-and-Brimstone act. I do agree. It seems every time a basket is scored, music […]

Thanks to Deadspin for pointing this out. At Hollywood Park the other day, there was a bikini race. Not horses in bikinis, mind you, but women in bikinis. Names of the women were strange, but why depict women as racing animals (credit Deadspin for that line)? I’m all for seeing women in bikinis (beach volleyball […]

Back after a long holiday weekend, I already gave you my review of the Tennis Channel’s first days televising the French Open. I will say that I do like the idea of having the matches online as well as I can see them at work, but there’s a strict cutoff time of noon ET thanks […]

Day 2 of the French Open and a much better day for The Tennis Channel. There was rain, but it was later in the day, but it still left some matches unsettled. Heavy hitters Ted Robinson and John McEnroe called the Roger Federer/Michael Russell match until the rains came. They have worked events for USA […]

I can bring you more stuff because it’s fun to do. The Biz of Baseball website says the MLB Network will have the biggest cable/satellite launch ever, reaching some 47 million homes when it turns the switch on next year. That’s bigger than MSNBC when it launched in 1996. Of course, the cable universe was […]
