I really appreciate this discussion as a former journalist and media professional. Mike Ryan is right that this KZfaq channel and other digital video from LAF has a lot of room to grow. This channel was dormant for 5+ years with limited posts and tiny clips. Now, it's their mainstay distribution channel second to the audio RSS. This channel, given their empirically- proven audience, should be at least 500K subs. Probably 1M+.

Fox wasn't perfect, but I did enjoy the Odd Couple w Chris Brousard & Rob Parker. Being born in 1991 has developed my mind to be so confused. I saw the end of the analogue era then when I became an adult, suddenly computers were in our pockets. Sometimes I wish I was born a little bit later so I didn't have that nostalgia for the simpler times.

I'm sorry to let you know, since you clearly love the show, but it's not long for this world. He's been doing this for 2 entire years and there are only 144k people who care. Dan, and I'm sure most of his fans, thought he was carrying ESPN, but based on this 144k he was a complete non-factor, and continues to be. And there's no chance he's adding new sports fans with his constant race-baiting. People are sick of it... that's why ESPN's ratings are horrendous.

Mike talks of how ESPN screwed up with Podcasts with them, the _real_ screw up was Bill Simmons. ESPN was on the ground floor of the entire Podcast revolution with by all accounts the 2nd biggest podcaster in the world and they had zero clue how to monetize it, let alone capitalize on it. Even with his forced time off and basically starting over again, in 2020 Spotify paid just shy of 200M for 51% of the Ringer, but really it's the Podcast network they were after. When Adam Carrolla can just guest star on a few pods and see the potential and create his own entire network and generate more revenue than ESPN Radio it just shows how ass backwards ESPN was dropping the ball.

@dannytallmage2409 i mean, they have a market cap of 32 billion, so if your take is ESPN was better at monetizing podcasts, you're definitely zagging from everyone else who has an opinion on this. But all the power to you.

@andrewshandle Жыл бұрын

@dannytallmage2409 but they're talking about how poorly ESPN is run. Even if Spotify overpaid for the Ringer by 50M, that means it was still worth nearly 280M, and ESPN let Simmons walk for nothing. They let McAfee walk, then paid him millions to return. They let Lebatard and company walk with their entire library according to Ruiz for nothing. They were light years behind on where the market was going thinking terrestrial radio was still important and now they're basically scuttling it entirely because it's not profitable.
