  • Great Sports Media Listen

    Discovered Richard via his pal Jimmy Traina and listen to his episodes when time allows. I appreciate learning about the business side of sports media and other cool BTS things (best media dining?!). Listening to this pod will bring you into a class of your own among your coworkers when having water cooler talk about sports.

What does Paramount Skydance acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery mean for sports — and can the NHL and PWHL use the Olympics as a springboard
Q: What does this mean for the NHL in terms of future rights bidding?
The discussion suggests the NHL could see new bidding dynamics, with the potential for games to appear on CBS and other CBS Sports properties, though decisions will depend on contracts and how aggressively the new company pursues marquee events like the Stanley Cup Final; incumbents may try to preserve relationships while exploring new slots.

Q: When you think about the possibility of all these sports properties under one roof, what do you think it means for the market?
Austin explains that it would create a mega-portfolio, with CBS Sports and Turner Sports under one umbrella, and that the deal would force strategic prioritization, especially around the NFL and high-value properties, while possibly reshaping which assets stay or go.

Q: How did you think about that, just in terms of Jake as a filmmaker, not going into the Soviet side at all on this one?
