Al & Jerry: Sports radio and the futures of the broadcasters

Al & Jerry: Sports radio and the futures of the broadcasters -- plus, warmup

The guys talk fantasy football before diving into the latest Dolphins developments, including whether rookie WR Chris Bell could be ready for Week 1 and why Dave Hyde believes Miami's bigger concern may be the defense. They discuss the question marks in the Dolphins' secondary and the impressive play of Miami's rookies in practice. Plus, the guys react to the Raiders starting Kirk Cousins over No. 1 overall pick rookie Fernando Mendoza and debate whether NFL figures like Troy Aikman and Tom Brady can fairly serve in team ownership or consulting roles while continuing to work as NFL broadcasters.

We are back this week with another two hours of blues, proudly presented alongside our friends at the Crawdaddy Club Richmond. We have got tracks from the fantastic artists performing at their upcoming live dates. The regular features, The Song Remains the Same and The Title Track Tango, are all present and correct, and Ian McHugh is behind the mic, just as you'd expect! The playlist this week is an absolute triumph. We are setting off with the living legend Buddy Guy, followed by West London's own The Guv'nors, the deep vocals of Oscar Wilson, and Mississippi MacDonald and the Cottonmouth Kings. We are keeping the energy right where it needs to be with Smokin' Joe Kubek's take on Cross Cut Saw, The Johnny Max Band, the funk soul of Trombone Shorty, and the incredible harmonica work of Giles Robson. The standard stays high as we bring you the brilliant young musician Connor Selby, the Master of the Telecaster Albert Collins, Mighty Mike Schermer, and the blistering slide guitar of Joanna Connor. We also have firm show favourites The Mustangs, slide master Roy Rogers, the soulful Al Corte, and the beautiful, expressive fretwork of Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters. Rounding off the show we clear the way for Roomful of Blues, the classic jump-blues energy of The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Big Steam, and the Backtrack Blues Band. To close out in absolute style, you will hear the formidable Joe Louis Walker, Colin James, the fantastic pairing of John January and Linda Barry, the deep blues of Big Daddy Wilson, and the undisputed master Otis Grand.

The UK TV market is in a state of precarity and change. Sky is acquiring ITV's Media and Entertainment business, the BBC is facing declining license fee payers, and director-general Matt Brittin has suggested reviving a Project Kangaroo-like “sovereign” streaming platform involving iPlayer and Channel 4.Meanwhile, all the broadcasters are keen to “meet audiences where they are,” which is increasingly on third-party, American-owned, walled garden tech platforms. Broadcasters are embracing social video, but concerns around the sustainability of the commercial model on platforms are persistent.Niamh Burns is the media policy lead at Enders Analysis. She recently co-authored a report on the major UK broadcasters, how they are dealing with headwinds in the TV ad market, and how they are embracing third-party platforms in search of audience growth.She recently sat down with host Jack Benjamin to discuss all things TV.When asked whether she believes the commercial opportunity on social platforms is enough to fund broadcaster's premium content production, Burns plainly stated: "At the moment, the answer is no across all the platforms."Highlights:3:33: Will Sky's acquisition of ITV's Media & Entertainment business get the green light?7:00: "A now or never moment" for the BBC: Charter review, license fee changes, a new "sovereign" streaming platform17:07: Broadcaster strategies on social media platforms: From marketing to distribution via a black box25:36: The commercial logic of embracing platform distribution29:39: Handling different measurement standards32:40: Government green paper and due prominence for broadcastersRelated articles:Is Sky's acquisition of ITV necessary to compete with global platforms?What the CMA should actually be asking about Sky and ITVFive items in Andy Burnham's media in-trayHow the BBC's digital distribution strategy is evolving

Send us Fan MailHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul. I am delighted to welcome this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, Comedian Jeff Nease. Listeners know that in addition to my passion for cruising, I am passionate about music and stand-up comedy. Accordingly, on The Joy of Cruising Podcast I love hosting performers from cruise ships, and Jeff has headlined on virtually every major cruise line, so I am excited to have a conversation with him. ‘Hilarious!' (Entertainment Today Magazine), “A high energy performer able to generate BIG laughs!” (Las Vegas Review Journal) and The Detroit Free Press simply declares “Jeff Nease makes us laugh!”. Observational, Conversational and often, Standing Ovational, Jeff Nease is there whenever ‘You Need Funny!' Jeff began his career in 1987. The performing ‘bug' bit while studying film and theater at the University of Toledo. Propelled by his love of the comedy albums of George Carlin, Steve Martin, Bill Cosby and Bob Newhart, it wasn't long before he found himself stepping on the stage of the local comedy venue ‘The Toledo Comedy Club'. He began to hone his craft anywhere he could find an audience: nightclubs, rock bars, colleges and lounges in and around his hometown in Northwest Ohio and Detroit, Michigan. Jeff applied his theater training as a founding member of the improvisational group ‘The Improvables'. This experience helped form the spontaneous element his show is known for. Jeff soon began touring comedy clubs and theaters in both the United States and Canada. New York to L.A., Vancouver to Nova Scotia. He became a finalist in the National Lampoon Laugh-Off, was seen on Television (A&E, PBS and Comedy Central) and opened up concerts for musical icons The Temptations and jazz great Najee.  He also opened up for comedy stars Jim Carrey, Tim Allen and Ellen DeGeneres. Jeff also ventured out to sea. Today Jeff is currently one of the most sought-after comedians for the world's most popular cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean. He has performed around the world on vessels for Azamara, Celebrity Cruises, Cunard, Crystal Cruises, Holland America, Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruise Line, Regent Cruise Line, among others.  Las Vegas became home for 14 years. Jeff performed at such iconic venues as The Riviera, MGM Grand, Tropicana, the Stardust, Rio and more. In addition to his nightclub work, Jeff performed for many of the various conventions and special events such as NAB (National Association of Broadcasters), COMDEX and CES (The Consumer Electronics Show). His corporate clients include Allstate, Taco Bell, The Royal Bank of Canada, USANA and Cannon. He is exceptionally proud to be accepted on the roster of performers for the USO. Today Jeff tours continually around the world. His greatest pride come from his three sons Jeffrey Jr., Patrick and Theodore.Do you have a dream car?

Netflix built its empire on one idea: watch what you want, when you want, all at once. Now it's losing viewers to YouTube, struggling to bring audiences back for season two, and internally discussing always-on live channels and ad bundles you can't skip.Which is to say: it's considering becoming cable TV.The irony is that while Netflix is scrambling for answers in the US, India may already have one. A reality show that airs almost every night at 8pm just cracked Netflix's global top 10. The format that streaming was supposed to kill is doing just fine. And Netflix is finally realising why.Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

  In this episode, Trade Show Talk Host Danica Tormohlen explores how Karen Chupka, Executive Vice President of Global Connections and Events at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), reveals how her team is transforming one of the industry's longest-running trade shows into a hub for innovation—where AI, creator economy, and sports media collide—by expanding its narrative beyond conventional broadcasting.   Context: The NAB Show ranked 17th on TSNN's Top 250 list of trade shows in 2025, when more than 54,00 people and 1,146 companies exhibited at that year's event. The 2026 NAB Show, held April 18–22 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, welcomed more than 58,000 registered attendees from 146 countries, underscoring its expanding international footprint. Almost one in four participants traveled from outside the U.S. (22%) while 48% were first-time attendees.  The 2026 show featured more than 1,100 exhibitors spread across the equivalent of nearly eight soccer fields, with 132 first-time participants showcasing their innovations. Global brands on the show floor included Sony, Canon, Ross, Blackmagic Design, Adobe, Google Cloud, AT&T, and AWS.   NAB Show attendees now include creators funding their own content, sports teams engaging fans like never before, and corporate brands building in-house studios to tell stories at scale.  Discover how NAB is rebranding to reflect today's media landscape—highlighting tools for everyday storytellers, from social media influencers to news crews—and opening new avenues for audience engagement.   Chupka shares behind-the-scenes strategies that led to a 140% surge in creator attendance, and how AI, data unification, and personalized marketing are revolutionizing event planning and attendee experience.   Chupka emphasizes the importance of innovation, community-building, and leveraging data-driven insights to stay ahead.   Related: The 2026 NAB Show Showcased the Next Chapter of Storytelling with More Content Creators, AI Chatter, and Lots of Sports Media Attendees  Key Topics:  Chupka's transition from CES to NAB and lessons learned about industry transformation  Rebranding NAB to highlight its broader focus beyond traditional broadcasting  The exploding creator economy and new attendee sectors like sports and corporate media  Integrating data, AI, and personalization in event marketing and attendee engagement  Strategies for attracting international attendees and emphasizing community building  The role of technology, content partnerships, and diversity in future event planning  Ongoing industry challenges, including government proposals affecting event security and attendance  Chupka's leadership tips and rapid-fire insights into event experiences and personal favorites  Advocacy and Policy Update with ECA's Tommy Goodwin  Tommy Goodwin, President and CEO of the Exhibitions & Conferences Alliance (ECA), closes the episode with an important advocacy-focused discussion about policy proposals that could negatively affect conference attendance, event participation, and the broader live events ecosystem. The conversation highlights how federal grant restrictions may discourage organizations and individuals from attending conferences, while also creating operational challenges for venues and event organizers.  Goodwin emphasizes these proposals are not just administrative details—they could have real consequences for the health of the events industry, reducing attendance, limiting knowledge-sharing, and weakening the economic impact of face-to-face gatherings. The segment underscores the need for the industry to stay informed, respond through the public comment process, and support efforts that protect the value of in-person events.  ECA is calling for the complete withdrawal of both proposed changes, and they are asking for the industry's help. ECA has provided a template to submit a comment letter to the Office of Management and Budget by July 13 but recommends tailoring and personalizing the letter before submitting. Here's a link to the template and more information.  Related: ECA Sounds Alarm on OMB Proposal Targeting Meetings, Conferences and Event Services  Key Takeaways:  Federal grant proposals could reduce conference attendance and create barriers for event participation  The live events industry depends on strong, accessible in-person gatherings  Advocacy and public comments are essential tools for influencing policy outcomes  Industry stakeholders should stay engaged to protect the future of events  Timestamps:   00:00 - Introduction to Karen Chupka and her industry impact 00:46 - Karen's career evolution from CES to NAB and key learnings 01:37 - Massive growth at the NAB Show and upcoming innovations 02:06 - Navigating media industry transformation and new audience opportunities 03:02 - Lessons from CES that inform NAB strategy 04:20 - Efforts in rebranding NAB beyond traditional broadcasting 05:36 - Expanding storytelling and highlighting new media tools 06:17 - The importance of embracing the creator economy and new sectors 07:11 - Marketing strategies for diverse attendee groups 08:10 - Data unification and AI use to personalize attendee experiences 09:24 - The future of in-house production and creator-led content 10:47 - Building community and engaging international audiences 11:08 - Karen's role, team management, and leadership approach 12:34 - Investment in internal marketing expertise and technology platforms 13:00 - Leveraging behavioral data for better attendee insights 14:34 - Tech stack, dashboards, and AI tools that enhance event planning 15:35 - The significance of clean data and event personalization 16:28 - Creating dashboards for real-time sales and marketing decision-making 17:26 - Tracking and analyzing attendee behavior to optimize experiences 18:42 - Upcoming NAB New York and its focus on live production and creator communities 20:51 - The impact of creator influence on event attendance and content 23:17 - The sports content revolution and athlete branding at NAB 26:27 - Launching creator councils and VIP programs to deepen engagement 29:13 - Strategies for growing the international audience and community 31:03 - The value of community and high-end production tools at NAB 32:22 - Karen's favorite show floor snacks, memorable moments, and guilty pleasures 34:40 - Travel rituals and shoe collections that keep Karen energized 36:24 - Advice to her younger self about self-care and balance 37:04 - Upcoming industry advocacy efforts and government proposals impacting events with Tommy Goodwin 39:01 - How federal grant regulations threaten conference attendance and event services 44:00 - How industry stakeholders can participate in the regulatory comment process 47:32 - Final thoughts on advocacy efforts to safeguard face-to-face events  Guest bio:  Karen Chupka EVP, Global Connections and Events,National Association of Broadcasters       Karen Chupka is a seasoned executive in the exhibition industry whose expertise is in planning large-scale technology events.

The media industry is having a rough decade. Newspapers are closing and local TV stations are being consolidated by distant owners. The advertising dollars that used to fund local journalism have mostly migrated to platforms that have no particular interest in what’s happening in your neighborhood. But, along with a number of other trends you can probably name, Baton Rouge isn’t following the rules. Brandon Foreman is CEO of Family Resource Group, a Baton Rouge company that has been connecting families to this community for over 30 years with its “Parents Magazine.” Today Family Resource Group publishes nine brands across seven markets — from Baton Rouge and New Orleans to Denver, Cincinnati, Birmingham and beyond — and has expanded well beyond print into digital campaigns, podcasts, and technology tools for advertisers. Brandon came to FRG through a somewhat unlikely route. His background is in technology — he ran a software company, a broadband internet provider in New Orleans, and launched several other ventures before arriving at the helm of a media company. He and his wife Amy, who is a publisher, received the 2024 Spaht Scholar Award from the East Baton Rouge Parish Library for their work championing literacy and education. When Brandon’s not running around taking care of business, he’s probably in the air. He’s a licensed pilot, and says the skies are where he does some of his best thinking. André Moreau literally needs no introduction. He's a celebrity. A Baton Rouge native and LSU graduate, Andre started his career as a fundraiser at a university, decided at 27 that wasn’t the right fit, walked into television, and spent the next 40-plus years anchoring the news. Andre was the lead sports anchor at WAFB for years, then left for Columbus, Detroit, Los Angeles and San Diego before coming home to Baton Rouge in 2008. He co-anchored the top-rated newscasts at WAFB with Donna Britt, then spent years as anchor and managing editor at Louisiana Public Broadcasting. Andre has an Emmy, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Louisiana Association of Broadcasters, and a Special Achievement Award for his coverage of Louisiana’s coastal crisis. He’s covered hurricanes, earthquakes, Stanley Cup parades, NBA championship parades, presidents, and yes, a pope. He retired from LPB in June 2023. By March 2025 he was back on the air at Louisiana First News. He says he missed being plugged in. He missed the scoop. Local media is under real pressure right now. Stations are being bought by companies that have never set foot in Louisiana. Print advertising keeps shrinking. The economic model that paid for local journalism for a century is still being worked out. Yet, here we are in Baton Rouge, bucking the trend. Brandon is betting that if you build media around a community rather than just broadcasting at it — events, partnerships, publications people actually want in their homes — the business will follow. And André continues his 40 years of believing that local news matters to a community. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at Mansurs on the Boulevard.

Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT department concern — it is becoming a broadcast engineering issue, and possibly soon, a regulatory one as well. On episode 805 of This Week in Radio Tech, we’re joined by three experienced broadcast engineers from Georgia and South Carolina: John George, Charles Kinney, and Earl Welsh. We’re talking just ahead of the Georgia-Lina Broadcast Engineering Conference in Augusta, Georgia, and our topic is both timely and practical: the FCC’s proposed cybersecurity rules for broadcasters, especially as they relate to EAS equipment, studio-transmitter links, remote access, and other internet-facing systems that can affect what goes on the air. We’ll discuss what the FCC appears to be concerned about, why default passwords and exposed web interfaces are no longer just “bad practice,” and what station engineers can do now to improve security before a rulemaking turns into a compliance deadline. This is not a theoretical conversation — it is about real broadcast facilities, real equipment, and real operational risks. Join us for episode 805 of This Week in Radio Tech as we look at cybersecurity through the eyes of working broadcast engineers.

The Pirates' tandem of Jared Jones and Carmen Mlodzinski did not work last night, to say the least.

Jimmy Savile fooled the United Kingdom by turning himself into a national institution before the country ever understood what he really was. He built a public image out of charity marathons, hospital visits, children's television, BBC fame, eccentric branding, and proximity to respectable institutions. That image became his shield. He was not merely hiding in the shadows; he was hiding in plain sight, protected by celebrity, deference, institutional cowardice, and the British habit of confusing access to power with moral legitimacy. Hospitals opened doors to him. Broadcasters promoted him. Politicians posed with him. The public saw the tracksuits, the cigar, the jewelry, the catchphrases, and the charity work, while behind that manufactured persona was a predator who exploited children, patients, vulnerable women, and institutional blind spots for decades. The horror of Savile is not just that he deceived people; it is that so many systems had chances to question him and chose comfort, reputation, and silence instead.Savile's closeness to the royal orbit made the deception even more grotesque. He developed a relationship with then-Prince Charles through charity work, visited royal residences, corresponded with him, and was reportedly consulted on media strategy and public relations matters, including how the royal household should respond to crises. That does not mean the royals knew what Savile was doing, but it does show how easily a predator could launder himself through elite proximity. That is where the echo with Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew becomes impossible to ignore. In both cases, a sexually abusive man gained credibility by orbiting powerful people, presenting himself as useful, charitable, connected, or socially valuable. Savile used hospitals, the BBC, charity, and royal access. Epstein used money, private planes, philanthropy, academia, finance, and aristocratic friendships. Andrew's relationship with Epstein later exposed the same rotten mechanism: elites mistaking proximity, usefulness, and social familiarity for innocence, while victims were left to fight against institutions that had already decided the powerful deserved the benefit of the doubt.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Broadcasters from The Netherlands, Ireland, Iceland, Spain and Slovenia are all boycotting May's Eurovision Song Contest because Israel is participating. Sources within Israel's broadcaster say calls for it to be banned are unjustified, and organisers of the contest insist it must remain politically neutral, describing the event as "a platform for displaying the importance of peace and unity in a divided world".More than 160 million watch each year, and it is a competition between public service broadcasters - including the BBC - and not one between governments. The boycott has sparked one of the biggest crises in Eurovision's 70-year history.In several cases, the position to withdraw also reflects wider pressure from politicians and public opinion.This week on The Inquiry we're asking: ‘How will countries boycotting Eurovision affect the contest?'Contributors: Natalija Gorščak, president of the management board of RTV, Slovenia Dr Bárbara Barreiro León, lecturer in film and visual Culture, University of Aberdeen, UK Dr Heather Dichter, associate professor of sport history and sport management, De Montfort University, UK Dr Dean Vuletic, author Postwar Europe and the Eurovision Song Contest, LuxembourgPresenter and Producer: Daniel Rosney Editor: Tom Bigwood Technical Producer: James Bradshaw Production Management: Phoebe Lomas and Liam Morrey(Photo: Eurovision flags.

The Iran War is not very popular with Americans – and the Trump Administration seems to think it knows why: the media is being too mean about the President's war of choice. On Saturday, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr reposted a Trump Truth Social screed against The New York Times and Wall Street Journal on Twitter — adding, “The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.” Carr has real power in his role as FCC Chairman – power he wants to use on behalf of President Trump. So to talk more about the FCC under Brendan Carr, we spoke with Matt Gertz. He's a senior fellow at the progressive media watchdog, Media Matters.And in headlines, the gloves came off during Oklahoma Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin's confirmation hearing, the government's top intelligence officials testify about worldwide threats before the Senate, and The New York Times publishes a multiyear investigation revealing labor activist Cesar Chavez's sexual abuse of women and girls.Show Notes: Check out Matt's work – www.mediamatters.org/author/matt-gertz Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
