Summary

Joe Ovies and Demetri Ravanos welcome you to "OG on Business", an every other week look at the sports media business. The podcast opens up with explaining why OG Fans is here and what OG Triangle Media hopes to accomplish. Joe and Demetri then discuss how Charles Barkley doesn't really have a home without the NBA on TNT (9:00) before tying in how big events like the Olympics are the type of properties that differentiate media companies (21:00). Are NBC's ratings wins translatable to other sports properties? (25:00) Meanwhile, Demetri is convinced ESPN's college football presentation leans too country (30:00), but Ovies thinks that's just the current state of pop music. They close out the pod going through a couple news items related to the future of "Around The Horn" and FS1. GET THE FULL EPISODE: http://ogtrianglemedia.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
