Sports Media Weekly Podcast No. 133 — Super Bowl XLVII on CBS Preview

This podcast featured three, count ’em, three guest segments, all coming courtesy of CBS Sports and CBS Sports Radio. Those segments were quite good. You can ignore the news of the week segment as I had a touch of the flu and sounded horrible. It’s not long though.

Keith Thibault of Sports Media Journal and I talked about the BCS Championship Game numbers on ESPN, ESPN’s apology for Brent Musburger’s comments on Miss Alabama, Katherine Webb, ESPN not renewing Rob Parker’s contract for comments he made about DC NFL Team quarterback Robert Griffin III and we talked about viewership numbers for NFL Wild Card Weekend.

Our guest segments from CBS Super Bowl Media Day from Tuesday are:

Sean McManus, Chairman of CBS Sports
Dana Jacobson and Brandon Tierney of CBS Sports Radio
Greg Gumbel, CBS Sports (with Pete Dougherty of the Albany Times Union)

It was a great experience to be at CBS for this event and I thank the fine people at CBS Sports Public Relations for their help in the interviews.

You can find the interviews at iTunes by doing a search for “Sports Media Weekly” or you can listen right away by going here.
