About this episode

T.J. Rives and Ken Fang discuss the MLB All Star Game, World Cup coverage, and Wimbledon insights from a media perspective.

Lots to go over as the Summer rolls on with the MLB All Star Game Tuesday, the World Cup wrapping up this week and more. And, we're ready to go over iall from a media perspective on the "LWOS Media Podcast!" Host T.J. Rives returns with Ken Fang of Awful Announcing for their takes and insight. They talk the MLB "Home Run Derby" coverage by Netflix for the first time and the reality of streaming services becoming so large. The guys then breakdown Fox Sports/MLB showcasing the All Star Game itself. That segues into Fox and their coverage of the Soccer World Cup that is finishing up this week. What abou the massive audience and will it continue for the Tuesday and Wednesday weekday ratings without the USA team involved? Also, what about the different broadcasters on the coverage and will Fox hang on to the coverage with their deal expiriing? The guys have takes on ESPN/ABC's coverage of Wimbledon tennis (a hint- Ken's not a fan), plus a salute to an NBA announcer saying goodbye after 37 years of calling every season of his team's existence. It's all on the LWOS Media Podcast and make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple/Spreaker/Spotify, etc.!
