The first Fang’s Bites podcast of 2014 is up. We have two guests and one is a familiar one if you were a regular listener of the Sports Media Weekly podcast and the other is a totally new one.
Ed Sherman of The Sherman Report joins me to discuss what we’ll see on sports television in 2014. Among the topics:
- The Olympics on NBC
- The FIFA World Cup on ESPN
- The new MLB contract on ESPN, Fox/Fox Sports 1/TBS
- The upcoming NBA bid and how important it is for Fox/Fox Sports 1.
- College Football and if Brent Musburger will return on ESPN.
- And if Ed will continue to fight vs. Deadspin
One of the busier people in sports broadcasting, Beth Mowins joins us for our second segment and we talked about the following:
- Her transitioning to college basketball season after a busy college football season.
- How she became one of the few women to call play-by-play on national television.
- Her reaction to seeing Pam Ward dropped from calling college football play-by-play.
- Whether there’s a glass ceiling for women in sports television.
- Her calling the Women’s College World Series every year.
- And how she became a Chelsea fan.
