Sports Media Weekly No. 119 — Rob Stone, Fox Soccer

Keith Thibault of Sports Media Journal are back with another edition of our podcast.

In the news segment, Keith and I talked about the passing of NFL Films President Steve Sabol and his impact on the popularity of National Football League.

We moved to the story from Sports Business Daily that MLB will stay on course and keep both Fox and Turner Sports as TV partners with a few changes in the postseason.

We also talked about the NFL staying with Dial Global as its national radio partner, broached the horrible NHL lockout and NFL replacement refs.

Fox Soccer’s Rob Stone, host of the UEFA Champions League as well as Goals on Sunday, is our guest. We talked about the growing popularity of the UEFA Champions League in the US.

Rob discussed how the West Coast is embracing MLS faster than the East Coast.

We then moved onto the English Premier League and Rob’s hosting of Survival Sunday last May. And Rob also talked about how my Chelsea team is doing in the young season.

Overall, a very good podcast. You can listen to it right here.
