Many thanks to Keith Thibault and Ken Fang for having me on this week.

Here’s a link to the podcast and the rundown from Ken:

*The FCC announcing it is looking into eliminating sports blackouts and how it could or could not affect the National Football League.

*ESPN unveiling its six channel “Megacast” for the BCS National Championship Game.

*NBC telling the world of its coverage plans for the 2014 Sochi Olympics and the amount of hours both online and on television.

*ESPN’s Outside the Lines winning a prestigious award despite being buried on Sunday mornings and on weekday afternoons.

*Also the lack of promotion for the new ESPN book “League of Denial” while Colin Cowherd’s book has become a bestseller.

*********

Also, earlier this week, Keith announced that he will shut down his Sports Media Journal blog on Jan. 1. He works a full-time job in broadcasting and doesn’t feel he has the time required to devote to the site.

Keith said he was taken aback by the heart-felt response he got from people in the business. It really shouldn’t have been a surprise.

Keith is a classy guy who set out to report on sports media in a straightforward way. He was fair, and that’s all anyone can ask for in this world.

Personally, I always appreciated all the support I have received from Keith and Ken. While I look forward to continue to work with Ken, I will miss having Keith with us.

Best of luck, Keith. Hope to see you down the road.
