Netflix gets WBD — what's it mean for sports? — and ESPN and Fox Sports play games with college football press releases

Episode 569 of the Sports Media Podcast with Richard Deitsch features a roundtable with Austin Karp of the Sports Business Journal and Jon Lewis of Sports Media Watch. In this podcast, we discuss Netflix to buy Warner Bros. in a $72 billion deal and what it means or might not mean for those sports properties; whether Netflix will go more all-in on sports; the future of TNT Sports as an entity; the interminable World Cup draw show; why we think Fox made a great move bringing in Rebecca Lowe and Thierry Henry, the battle between ESPN and Fox Sports PR departments as far as college football pregame viewership and much more.
