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 the latest on "Venu", a joint venture sports streaming service from Disney, FOX and Warner/Discovery. Why does this exist? Who is it for? And will a lawsuit from FuboTV prevent the service from ever launching. Meanwhile, iHeartRadio flipped 106.1FM HD2 into "Raleigh's Sports Station". This marks the first time in 15 years another radio group has carried sports talk programming (19:00). The guys close things out with yet another conversation about Pat McAfee (34:00), who has drawn the ire of Ryan Leaf and older College GameDay viewers.
