Fang’s Bites Podcast No. 25 — Anthony Crupi & the NFL

This week, we’re back with another edition of the Fang’s Bites podcast. Our guest is former Adweek writer and freelancer extraordinaire Anthony Crupi.

As the NFL begins this week, we discuss the beginning of the season and what we can expect with the new TV contracts that are about to take effect.

Among the topics we discussed:

  • Crossover games between CBS and Fox;
  • The new Thursday Night Football package on CBS/NFL Network;
  • Promotion of primetime lineups through the NFL games;
  • How much networks are charging for ad time;
  • Why Fox isn’t shouting more about its ratings for the late Sunday afternoon window; and
  • How many national games for various teams

You can find the podcast on iTunes by doing a search for “Fang’s Bites” or you can find it on the Fang’s Bites page at Podcast Garden. Of course, you can click here to listen right away.
