Podcasts about viewership

Traditional sports broadcasts are evolving into multi-platform cultural ecosystems driven by social media, gaming metaverses, and athlete creators. NBA 2K Media CEO Andrew Perlmutter explains how media brands can build participatory off-court entertainment that converts casual viewers into lifelong fans. Key Highlights

The WNBA is having a moment. Viewership is up. Attendance for this year's WNBA All-Star Game surpassed the NBA's All-Star Game. Games and events can be viewed in a record number of places, from broadcast to cable and streaming. And just this week, Angel Reese of the Atlanta Dream set a single-game record. But the stories about the WNBA capturing national attention in recent weeks are about none of that. Instead, the focus has been on two retired NBA players, including Enes Kanter Freedom, who showed up courtside at an August 23 Chicago Sky–Indiana Fever game wearing a T-shirt that said "Woman: noun. adult human female."“I don't believe that he's being genuine in any realm, in order to create this mass hysteria of sorts for an issue that's actually simply a non-issue,” says Angela Perry, a WNBA content creator, tells The Intercept Briefing. “There are no trans women in the WNBA; there are none attempting to be in the WNBA.”This week on The Intercept Briefing podcast, host Jessica Washington speaks to Perry and journalist Katelyn Burns about how the premier women's professional basketball league has found itself at the center of a right-wing manufactured panic.“The right has made such hay out of trans women in women's sports that they need to keep inventing controversies in order to keep this issue front of mind,” says Burns who writes for the independent newsletter Burns Notice and co-hosts the Cancel Me, Daddy podcast. “We have a midterm election coming up, and to be frank with you, the only thing that the right has done besides terrorizing immigrants is banning trans women from women's sports. It's at the center of almost all of their policies,” continues Burns. “They are inventing controversies about trans people in sports where there are no trans people involved.”“This is about women in general. They're already talking about not wanting women to have the right to vote,” says Perry. “This isn't just about sports. There's a political party trying to scale us back to what they perceive was a time where things were better. But really, it was when women were more controlled.”“The bigger issue is that the people who think that they're protected, it's always going to get to the protected class eventually,” warns Perry. “Right now, the focus is trans, and people think they're safe because ‘I'm not trans. I'm a cis woman and I'm protected.' But it will impact you.”For more, listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen.Full transcript: https://interc.pt/3UXTwXsKeep our investigations free and fearless at theintercept.com/join.

Travis Chappell and producer Eric go behind the scenes of Eric's increasingly unexpected podcasting journey, from initially hoping to attract just 1,000 listeners and three guests to landing documentary and television opportunities, a book deal, and interviews with people he never expected to meet. The two break down why podcasting can be valuable even when it doesn't generate direct revenue—and why consistency, relationships, credibility, and simply staying in the game can create opportunities that view counts alone can't measure. On this episode we talk about: How Eric's podcast led to documentary series appearances, a television opportunity, and a book deal Why the biggest benefits of podcasting often come from opportunities and relationships rather than direct revenue How consistently creating content can lead to unexpected connections, dream guests, and career opportunities Why creators shouldn't judge their podcast solely by downloads, views, or immediate financial returns The importance of surviving long enough to outlast the competition and capitalize on opportunities Top 3 Takeaways Think beyond direct revenue. A podcast can generate money indirectly through relationships, clients, credibility, media opportunities, partnerships, and exposure to entirely new audiences. Consistency creates opportunities. You don't know which episode, guest, connection, or piece of content will eventually lead to something significant. The key is continuing long enough for those opportunities to find you. Don't quit because the numbers aren't impressive yet. Many successful creators spent years producing content before their major breakthrough. Viewership is only one measure of success, and sometimes the most valuable returns aren't visible in analytics. Notable Quotes "The doors it can open are insane." "You don't have to be a big podcast to get a dream guest." "I'm a huge fan of stuff where you just have to all you have to do is just survive."

Rushed methodology changes implemented mid-season by Nielsen have severely shaken the NFL's confidence in standard television ratings. NFL Chief Data Officer Paul Ballew explains how media fragmentation is forcing leagues and networks to demand radical transparency or switch to new transactional metrics. Key Highlights

Nielsen released their fan indexes for NFL cities. New York came in last because they split their fanbase between the Giants and Jets and there is a lot more to do around here than smaller markets.

Hollywood's Headlines covers the return of NFL Network and NFL RedZone to Xfinity, the Hall of Fame Game drawing its biggest audience since 2021 with 7 million viewers, and a wild attempt by a Greek businessman to lure Nikola Jokic away from the NBA to play for a team in Athens. Plus, a father-son duo is accused of stealing a Patrick Mahomes trading card valued at $12,000, and Hollywood previews the big card show he'll be attending this weekend, featuring plenty of celebrity athletes.

KMOX Sports Director Tom Ackerman joins guest host Heidi Harris and Kim St. Onge to analyze shifting broadcast distribution models across major professional sports leagues. The hosts discuss reports that the St. Louis Blues are evaluating pay-TV options to replace traditional free over-the-air coverage due to declining local broadcast revenues. Ackerman breaks down subscriber model trends in sports media—comparing local regional sports networks with free over-the-air radio coverage—and explains why major live sporting events like the Super Bowl command record advertising rates. The conversation concludes with an update on college football and NFL preseason projections. Hashtags: #STLBlues #SportsMedia #PayTV #TomAckerman #SuperBowl #KMOXSports #CollegeFootball

On today's show: A Fox News article argues that some sports media outlets are trying to decide which American fans are allowed to cheer for Team USA at the World Cup. Is there a liberal bias in sports media, or is this just another example of every cultural moment getting dragged into politics? When you see World Cup coverage, do you think the media is celebrating America, judging America, or just looking for the easiest narrative?

Send us Fan MailAngelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss Byron Allen's DISASTROUS start at CBS.  Viewership cratered 77%, from Colbert's 2.69 million average all the way down to 628,000. And the damage isn't staying in late night. People fall asleep with the TV on and wake up on the same channel. Colbert was feeding CBS local news. CBS local news was feeding CBS This Morning. Byron Allen just cut that pipeline. THEN: The Knicks just won their first championship since 1973, and Game 3 of the Finals pulled 23.79 million viewers, the biggest NBA audience since 2017. Last year's Thunder-Pacers Finals? Half those numbers. Same sport. Different cities. The gang debates whether this is proof the NBA is genuinely back, or proof of something more uncomfortable... that parity might actually be strangling the league's own ratings, and the best thing that could happen to the NBA is New York or LA in the Finals every single year.ALL THAT PLUS: British corner, a discussion about The Office and political correctness, Jay reviews Disclosure Day and much MUCH more!MAKE SURE TO VISIT OUR SPONSOR: Steven Singer Jewelers!The TV Show is a weekly podcast hosted by Jay Black, with regular guests Angelo Cataldi and Rhea Hughes.

In Wednesday's edition of Hollywood's Headlines, the guys react to the massive television numbers generated by the Knicks' championship run, as ESPN and ABC delivered the most-watched NBA Finals since the 1990s, including the most-watched Game 5 since 1998. The conversation continues with more fallout from New York's championship celebration before shifting to hockey, where the Stanley Cup Final also posted huge ratings, becoming the most-watched Finals since 2019 and more than doubling last year's audience. The guys also discuss Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions expanding its portfolio by adding the World Series of Poker, and wrap up with the surprising news that Floyd Mayweather is facing theft and fraud allegations tied to the purchase of a luxury watch using a face check—a shocking development given the enormous wealth he has accumulated throughout his legendary boxing career.

Gavin highlighted that Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final between Carolina and Vegas averaged a 2.4 rating, marking the most-watched Game 2 since the 2015 Blackhawks-Lightning series. Sean credited this viewership growth to the high-quality play on the ice, the expansion of hockey at the college level, and the sport's increasing appeal in "Sunbelt" markets, which has helped disprove previous concerns about the viability of these franchises. The guys discussed how the current trend of higher goal-scoring in the NHL appeals to passive sports fans who might find low-scoring defensive games less engaging. They also confirmed that the Plano City Council voted unanimously to approve the development of a new arena. They discussed the potential impact on surrounding businesses and acknowledged that while some fans are disappointed by the move away from Dallas, the project is expected to provide significant economic benefits for the Plano area.
