NFL Championship Games Massive TV Audience + Thrilling Finishes In CBB For Big 12/ESPN | LWOS Media Podcast

Last Word On Sports Media Podcast

It's the newest edition of our weekly look at all in the sports media landscape, as host T.J. Rives returns with news, TV numbers, takes and a guest on the "Last Word on Sports Media Podcast!"
T.J. begins by going over the tremendous TV audience that Fox (early) and then, CBS gained for the NFC and the AFC title games Sunday in Philadelphia and Kansas City. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles are back in the Superbowl and obviously, so too are Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. It's a rematch from two seasons ago in the biggest game.
He also has the latest on Reggie Miller of Turner and CBS being lured to the new NBA coverage on NBC as the likely main analyst to be paired with Mike Tirico. This will take affect in the '25-26 seaons and beyond.
Next, T.J. welcomes his colleague, Brian Dancel of "Big12 Radio on Tunein" for some two part analysis. First, on the thrilling finishes Saturday night in college basketball for Houston's 2OT upset of Kansas on ESPN and then, as a follow up, the half court miracle shot by Arizona's Caleb Love against Iowa St. sent the crowd into a frenzy and the game into OT. And, it scored again for ESPN in audience.
Brian has insight on ESPN's Fran Fraschilla being on the call with Jon Sciami for BOTH games Saturay and Monday night. And, also, what about the famed Dallas Cowboys hiring Brian Schottenheimer as their next head coach and the obvious angle that owner/GM Jerry Jones still wants to be the center piece of all the media attention for his team?
