Show Notes
We had to have Ryan Glasspiegel of the New York Post on to discuss Disney/ESPN vs. Charter, the face off that might kill sports viewership as we know it. Or get resolved soon. Ryan has a take on his initial take and many other takes. We get into it.
Topics include but aren’t limited to:
* Why Charter has leverage over ESPN
* Why Ryan thinks this gets resolved
* Is there an ideological component to the position Disney finds itself in?
* The re-bundle could be upon us.
* What does it mean for the NBA? If cable dies, are they in trouble as an inventory sport?
* Reader JF (JK!) is doing the Big Short on sports TV rights. Is he going to be correct?
* Skip Bayless’ new Undisputed lineup vs. ESPN’s First Take
* How streaming dilutes audience from an advertiser perspective
