Welcome to the sports media podcast. I'm your host, Richard Dyche. My producer is Patrick Antonetti. One guest on this episode, but is someone with significant currency, Cassidy Hubberth worked at ESPN

for more than a decade, including prominently as a game reporter on NBA coverage, as well as an

NBA host, also hosted a number of non-NBA shows, kind of the general shows at ESPN.

She will be moving to Amazon Prime Video next year when that streamer starts its NBA coverage.

As we've talked about many times on this podcast, Amazon, Disney, and NBC Universal signed 11-year media agreements with the NBA that will run through 2035 slash 36.

Freud bring Cassidy on.

She's graciously agreed to come on, which is great.

There's probably only so much she's going to be able to say about Amazon because

for one, it doesn't exist yet other than sort of in the planning stages.

And two, when it comes to talent, you know, there's agreements,

there's people who've already signed contracts.

It gets a little bit tricky, but she's been gracious enough to come on and to discuss some

of this journey.

And with that, I bring in Cassidy Hubbard.

Welcome.

Thanks so much, Richard.

It's been too long and you know what a

nice way to reunite yeah but I like to have you on every like 37 years casta yes exactly

well you know what I guess that means I'm still still in this business so that's uh that's something

to say exactly we've We're aging well.

All right.

So let's start here.
