It's the latest edition of our show/podcast as host T.J. Rives and co-host Mike Gill are back to go over the sports media topics that kickoff the month of June on the "Last Word on Sports Media Podcast"
The guys cover
NBA Finals set with OKC/IND. Is this series going to be one of the least watched ever? Were the ratings due to plummet without a "big market" involved?
The guys also talk the sendoff of the "NBA on TNT" with the end of the Indiana/NY Knicks series and now, the bizarre situation with their "Inside the NBA" pre-game and post-game show going to Disney/ABC/ESPN next year.
Next up is the Stanley Cup rematch with Florida/Edmonton. Will that hurt the casual interest that it's not prominent franchises and we saw it last year? The guys discuss. A possible great storyline for them is: can a Canadian team breakthrough for their first Cup since 1993?! Incredible drought for that Country, when it's "their sport."
The guys also talk the reports of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament expansion heating up and why the proposals could be "dead on arrival" because CBS/Turner don't want more "play-in" type games.
Also, NCAA College Baseball Tourney is going and the results were bad for the SEC specifically and now the non-power conferences may have a tougher time with the bigger conferences not wanting them in their post-seasons.
The guys talk abou ti all on the "Last Word on Sports Media Podcast" and make sure to follow/subscrbie to this feed for all our content on Apple/Spreaker/Spotify, etc.!
