everybody this is richard dutch and welcome to the sports media podcast.

My producer is Patrick Antonetti.

Today's guest, one of the excellent people in sports television in terms of presentation, knowledge, and just someone who makes the viewing experience that much better.

It's Rebecca Lowe, the host of NBC Sports Group's Premier League coverage, as well as an Olympic host in Tokyo in this podcast.

We are talking to Rebecca from Tokyo.

In fact, she will give us her impressions and her discussion of what it was like working in the Tokyo games, protocols that existed that she had to deal with, her thoughts on NBC's coverage, declining viewership, her Premier League preparations, what she expects from the Premier League, England's World Cup prospects, and much more.

It is Rebecca Lowe on the Sports Media Podcast.

Here we go.

All right, as I said at the top, it is Rebecca Lowe, live, although live to tape, obviously, from Tokyo, kind enough to do this very early in the morning in Tokyo. So good morning. It's like the today show. Good morning. Well, it's not. It's like the nightly news for me. Good evening in my head, Richard. It is 7 a.m. nearly in the morning here. But I am done for the day. I have done my show and I am going to bed very soon. Nice. All right. So I think, you know, I think people will be interested in sort of what your day is like. Can you give us just a sense of your day from when you wake up to ultimately when you hit the sack?

Yeah, yeah, of course. So in order for me to be alive during the day on daytime for NBC, that means the night shift here. So upon landing in Tokyo,

I decided to try to stay on the night shift from the moment I landed. Major error did not work.

Every night was a disaster. But it was a real hodgepotch of me just trying to stay awake and

trying to get the body adjusted,

but it was not good.

Anyway, by the time I actually started the show, I really was struggling on a severe lack of

sleep.

So now I'm okay.
