Sports Media With Richard Deitsch

Episode 394 of Sports Media Podcast features Molly Solomon, the executive producer & president of NBC Olympics production. In this podcast, Solomon discusses what a primetime Olympics show on a network should look like in 2024 when the results will already be known; the viewership declines for the Olympics and why Paris might change the fortunes of the event; how a network televises an Olympic ceremony with 100 boats floating down the River Seine; how things change for Solomon being in Connecticut as opposed to being in Paris; covering the Chinese swimming scandal story and the prospect of competitors refusing to compete against each other; what sport might pop beyond the traditional viewership sports; whether the hiring of Kelly Clarkson and Peyton Manning signifies a shift to more entertainment coverage; why a woman has not yet been the lead producer of a Super Bowl; whether gambling will one day be part of an Olympic presentation and more. You can subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, S
