I think it’s totally fair for different outlets to have different editorial standards. That’s a good thing for the marketplace. It’s part of the reason why Jonah and I don’t usually coordinate on what we write […]

TSN1050 looking like financial geniuses if Matt Cauz’s solo show is competing with Deitsch, Blair, and Brunt in the ratings. I sincerely hope no re-org decisions are made based on this book. The Numeris numbers […]

In terms of fan experience it’s the NFL and everyone else. They have the best in-person product and the best TV product so both segments of the audience are being well served. The sport I worry the most about is […]

Bob has been trying to drum up momentum for a return in the last few months. I wouldn’t say it is making much of a buzz. Any of you listening to Don Cherry’s weekly podcast? Didn’t think so.

I’ll add that Deitsch’s latest sports media podcast has a great interview with Tom Verducci. They discuss the possibility of Olympic style media availability when sports return, and the danger that media won’t be […]

For clarification, I didn’t include Cliff Floyd because it is unclear what his status is with SN. He doesn’t mention SN in his Twitter bio, and hasn’t tweeted about being on the show since August 11th 2019. He […]

Mike V – I accept all of these points except the one about internal benchmarks. We know that those have been missed due to things like giving away Jays playoff ads to companies who didn’t get the NHL/HNIC ratings […]

Mike V – Rogers has been making cuts to Sportsnet and HNIC since 2016. There have been several quotes by SN folks asserting that the cuts have nothing to do with people’s job performance. TVA (Rogers’ French […]
