Usp Pga The Masters Practice Round S Glf Usa Ga
It’ a brand new edition of our sports media pod, as we focus on the record ratings for NCAA Women’s title game won by LSU over Iowa, the interesting lower numbers for the Men’s title win for UConn over San Diego State and what it means + some 2023 Masters week talk, too. It’s all on the latest “Last Word Sports Media Podcast.”
Host T.J. Rives returns, fresh back from Houston, TX, himself, having witnessed the Connecticut Huskies title win first hand, to talk with Ken Fang of Awful Announcing about the weekend. Ken has more on the massive surge in the women’s ratings, the impact of star Caitlin Clark of Iowa and what it means for the future of the women’s TV package.
Ken also talks the Men’s Final Four, the farewell of Jim Nantz as a hoop broadcaster on CBS, and more of his takes on the weekend. He and T.J. also put the Saturday and Monday night numbers in recent TV ratings perspective and why 14, 16, 18 million viewers for live sports is still destroying all else on network TV.
T.J. and Ken also talk the Masters upcoming coverage and whether the LIV Golf “rebel players” will create much more audience for the already popular event?
On that same topic T.J. welcomes Rex Hoggard of the Golf Channel to set the scene more at Augusta. He weighs in on whether Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia and others will be welcomed or not by the other players and fans, etc.?
Rex also talks the allure of the famous finishing holes at the Masters and whether it will produce another dramatic Sunday late afternoon. Or will potential rain, make play happen much earlier on Sunday, etc.?
T.J. concludes with some “Love it or Leave it?” on faster MLB games, longer instant replays and more.
