Longtime Bonneville Sacramento Senior Vice President and Market Manager Steve Cottingim is set to retire next month.
Cottingim has spent 45 years total in radio. He has served as the leader of the Bonneville Sacramento market since the company entered the market in 2017. He previously led CBS Radio’s efforts in the city from 2005 to 2017 after ascending from the role of Director of Sales and General Sales Manager.
“I have truly enjoyed and appreciate the people I have worked with and the career I have had the last 45 years in the broadcast industry,” said Cottingim. “Both Bonneville and CBS Radio have been amazing companies to work for.”
“Steve is a true professional who has led the Sacramento market with a steady hand and a focus on the business and development of our employees,” added Bonneville International President and Chief Operating Officer Tanya Vea. “He capitalizes on the strengths of the people he leads and on the opportunities in his market, and that has strengthened our entire organization. Steve should be very proud of the legacy that he leaves in Sacramento and in radio. I am deeply grateful for all he’s done for Bonneville and wish him the very best.”
After the exit of Steve Cottingim, Bonneville will task Val Maki, who currently serves as the Senior Vice President and Market Manager of the company’s San Francisco cluster, with overseeing the Sacramento stations.

A common conception after the election of Donald Trump is that TV news consumers are turning away from coverage. New data from Crowd React Media shows the opposite.
In its inaugural State of TV News study, Crowd React Media data shows that 33% of news audiences say they are watching more news coverage than before Election Day 2024. Additionally, 55% of respondents said they are watching the same amount of news.
Only 12% of news consumers are watching less news than previously.
Additionally, the study shows a much more dedicated audience for cable news than streaming television consumers.
31% of those surveyed said they watch eight hours or more of cable television per day. 26% said they watched 4-8 hours per day, meaning 57% watch at least four hours of cable TV each day.
Streaming TV users, however, reported much different habits. 48% of those viewers watched at least 4 hours per day, with those watching eight or more hours and between four and eight hours being evenly distributed at 24%. Younger audiences, those in the 18-34 demographic, were most likely to watch eight or more hours of cable/satellite TV per day at 37%.
94% of linear television audiences say they watch the local news. That outpaces those who utilize streaming platforms, with only 76% of audiences saying they watch local news broadcasts. Of those streaming audiences that watch local news, a whopping 74% said they view the segments on YouTube. Only 59% of respondents said they watch national news content on YouTube.
“All audiences nowadays are effectively digital natives, and local outlets need a strategy to maximize their digital/streaming footprint,” the company said.
The State of TV News study by Crowd React Media, a division of Harker Bos Group, was conducted between December 2024 and January 2025. It included more than 500 television news audiences across the country with a balanced representation of men and women aged 18 and up, with the sample size weighted to U.S. census data.

With March Madness just around the corner, Sports Betting Network VSiN has announced its coverage plans for the annual first weekend of the basketball tournament. VSiN has introduced “Sharp Week” as its wall-to-wall coverage for NCAA Basketball Tournament fans, beginning on March 16, which is Selection Sunday.
VSiN states that during “Sharp Week,” listeners will be treated to network coverage featuring the latest news, analysis, and insights needed to make informed wagering decisions. The week will be solely focused on betting analysis ahead of the first set of NCAA Tournament games.
“With a handle that dwarfs the Super Bowl, March brings the biggest sports betting event of the year, and VSiN covers college hoops like no one else can,” said Bill Adee, CEO of VSiN, via a statement. “With the leading college basketball betting experts, former players, legendary bookmakers, and professional bettors covering every wagering angle, ‘Sharp Week’ will empower sports fans and bettors with everything they need this March. And don’t let the name fool you—we have all the content that bettors need, from the sharpest of bettors to those just looking to fill out their office brackets.”
VSiN will broadcast “Sharp Week” from its downtown Las Vegas Circa studio as well as SiriusXM’s Wynn studio on the Las Vegas Strip. The network also announced that it will kick off its celebration of “Sharp Week” by offering a free preview of all VSiN Pro premium content to anyone now through March 16.
The NCAA Tournament has always been a mainstay for large gatherings and wagering in the United States. The tournament lasts three weeks and leads to increased viewership across the CBS, TBS, truTV, and TNT platforms. Last year’s men’s championship viewership increased slightly compared to the previous year, as an average of 14.82 million viewers tuned in on TBS and TNT to watch defending champions UConn defeat Purdue 75-60 in another battle of No. 1 seeds.
The women’s title game drew more viewers than the men’s for the first time in history, averaging 18.7 million viewers on ABC and ESPN and peaking at 24 million viewers. The viewership figures for the women’s final made it the most-watched women’s college basketball game on record, as well as the most-watched basketball game, men’s or women’s, since 2019.
VSiN’s announcement states the goal is to help sports fans and bettors navigate this year’s tournament with previews of every matchup and the latest line movements, featuring reports from Las Vegas and contest information.
The network’s program “VSiN Live” will air on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio, broadcasting live from the Wynn Las Vegas and covering the games in progress. The shows will also stream live on the VSiN YouTube channel.

Stephen A. Smith was at Crypto.com Arena on Thursday night attending the Los Angeles Lakers matchup against the New York Knicks, sitting courtside alongside various business and media luminaries. Yet a moment during the game went viral online when Lakers superstar forward LeBron James confronted Smith courtside for a reason that remained unknown, and he seemed annoyed with the sports commentator. Smith had spoken about James on numerous occasions throughout the season as it pertains to his son, Bronny, with whom he is teammates on the Lakers. Furthermore, he talked about recent comments James had delivered about NBA coverage and affirmed that there was “weird energy” about being the face of the league.
Smith confirmed that James unexpectedly approached him at the game on Thursday night and said words that are not suited for FCC airwaves. Before addressing the matter to open First Take on Friday morning, he articulated that he thought about this over the last several hours because he had not had any intentions of addressing the interaction. Upon waking up on Friday morning though, he found that everyone from ESPN, his agent and others were sending him a clip of the meeting that had circulated across social media.
“That wasn’t a basketball player confronting me,” Smith said. “That was a parent, that was a father, and I can’t sit here and be angry or feel slighted by LeBron James in any way in that regard.”
Within his discourse, Smith acknowledged that James is a good family man who cares very deeply about his son and that it was clear he took exception to some things he had said about his son. In addition, he shared that James’ agent Rich Paul and business manager Maverick Carter both had his number; however, he did not receive a call from James preceding this incident. If James had wanted to talk to him or seen him in person, he stated that it would have made it happen. Conversely though, James decided to speak with him courtside and express his displeasure towards Smith, who conveyed that he felt he had slighted his son.
Smith provided his perspective by elucidating that he was discussing the position in which James put his son because of certain things he had said leading up to the NBA Draft. One quote from James emphasized that if a team wanted him, it should draft his son because he would do whatever it took to play alongside him for a year. Rather than being more outspoken about it though, Smith conveyed his understanding about being a father and divulged that it was apparent that James was “very, very upset” at the time.
“In the end, like I said, as a father, I get it,” Smith explained. “I’m not offended, I’m not insulted. I don’t have any animosity or animus towards LeBron James for this. Nothing like that. I don’t think he cares, but neither do I. I’m just stating fact – none of that exists. If I was in his position, I can’t definitively said I would not have done the same thing. I’m not blaming him one bit. I get it, I understand it, and there’s a part of me that aches and hurts because of it.”
Smith emphasized that unlike some people who talk about the NBA on podcasts, he covers the league and ultimately has a job to talk about the personnel and subject matter around the sport. There are several storylines going on in the Association, he explained, and added that he has been blessed to have the No. 1 morning show for the last 13 years and counting. In fact, Smith recently agreed to a five-year contract extension to remain on First Take, where he is the featured commentator and executive producer of the program. In the end though, he does not blame James for being angry but conveyed an understanding about his job and the scope of what he previously stated.
“I’m not one of those that get into people’s private affairs, but what you do on a public platform for public consumption, that’s what I cover, that’s what I do for a living, and if you’re in the NBA, that applies to you,” Smith said. “I don’t want enemies – I live a very good life. I like to make people laugh and smile and have a good time and all of that other stuff, but I also get paid to call it like I see it, and what I said at the time, I stand by what I said.”

Minnesota station owner David Linder is presumed dead in an Alaskan avalanche during a backcountry heli-skiing trip. The 39-year-old was on a ski trip with three other skiers when the avalanche struck about 40 miles south of Anchorage.
Heli-skiing is when skiers board a helicopter, travel into the backcountry to an inaccessible peak, and ski down to the bottom, where they are picked up again by the helicopter.
The avalanche happened Tuesday afternoon, leaving Linder and the others buried under 40 to 100 feet of snow.
John Linder founded Linder Radio Group and owns 21 stations in Minnesota. When Linder Sr. died in 2017, the company passed to his son, David. In 2019, Linder added partners Lynn and Matt Ketelsen.
Linder’s business partner wrote David Legault on Facebook, “Tough day. You never think about losing a friend and business partner. He was the smartest guy I knew. He helped with critical thinking situations and presented me with a new perspective every time… something I’ll be missing. Of course, if you know Dave Linder, you know every time we got together it ended up turning into an adventure. Great memories! I pray for your family and am thankful I got to know you.”
Linder, who was now living in Florida, is survived by his wife and three sons.
The other skiers are identified as Jeremy Leif of Minnesota and Charles Eppard of Montana.

Throughout the Boston Bruins season, NESN has been airing the Unobstructed Views broadcast alongside select regular-season games. The alternate presentation features three former Bruins players in Andrew Raycroft, Patrice Bergeron and Tuukka Rask viewing the game together in the studio and providing their reactions in real time. The trio was on the air on Thursday night as the Bruins faced the Carolina Hurricanes, a regular-season matchup that ended in a 3-2 loss after Seth Jarvis scored a game-winning goal with 18.6 seconds remaining. Jermaine Wiggins was watching the contest, along with the Boston Celtics game against the Philadelphia 76ers, and revealed that he was tuned into the alternate broadcast.
During the Friday morning edition of The Greg Hill Show on WEEI, Wiggins averred that he needed to give the team at Unobstructed Views credit, affirming that they were skilled in the craft. Wiggins recalled that the show welcomed former NHL center and current broadcast analyst Brian Boyle to the show and insinuated the strong chemistry between the cast. From there, he proceeded to talk about the program in relation to the Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli presentation, which recently averaged 1 million viewers per game in its third season.
“It is really an interesting thing to watch, and I enjoy the ManningCast because I used to love to listen to Bill [Belichick] and his insight on the game, and watching those type of broadcasts where you can actually hear players breaking down certain things as they happen in the game, in my opinion, I like better than just the standard play-by-play and color commentary guy,” Wiggins said.
“But they’re all in the same room, and I wish that the Mannings would take a page out of that book and at least have the hosts in the same room – the two brothers – and then you could always Zoom in whoever the special guest is if you can’t be in a location where the guest can kind of come.”
Courtney Cox, the co-host of the morning program, added that Unobstructed Views utilizes a two-shot with Rask and Bergeron situated on a couch while Raycroft is alone in another box. Yet the former Bruins are all in the same room, and she conveyed that it just feels like three friends who are all watching the game. Wiggins shared that they were stunned surrounding the goal in the waning seconds of the third period, which took place less than a minute after the Hurricanes lost a potential game-winning tally due to an offsides call.
“If you haven’t got a chance to do it, I think the next game that they’re going to be doing – they talked about afterwards – is St. Patty’s Day,” Wiggins concluded, “so give it a little check, a follow and watch, and like I said, hopefully we can send it to the Mannings so they can learn how to do the ManningCast better this season.”
NESN aired the latest edition of the broadcast on the same day as reported editorial cuts said to be part of a series of layoffs at the company. A spokesperson for the company told Chad Finn of The Boston Globe that the layoffs encompassed “part of an overall assessment and strategic pivot to a different model.”

ESPN has added to its roster of journalists covering sports for the worldwide leader as Dan Wetzel has joined as a senior writer. A New York Times bestselling author, Wetzel leaves his post at Yahoo Sports, where he had been a national columnist since 2003, to join ESPN.
According to a release, Wetzel’s focus will be on strengthening ESPN’s Investigative and Enterprise Journalism Unit. He will be focusing on investigative reporting, news analysis, and feature storytelling and is planning to work on multiple platforms for the network. These will include the podcast and television/streaming wings of ESPN beginning on March 17.
“I want to thank Jimmy Pitaro, Burke Magnus, Chris Buckle, Mike Foss, and Mike Drago for believing in me and providing this opportunity to join an incredibly talented staff,” said Wetzel in a post on X Thursday.
Joining Wetzel as a recent addition to the ESPN Investigative and Enterprise Journalism Unit is Juanita Ceballos. She joins ESPN as a producer whose work has earned Emmy and Edward R. Murrow awards, alongside being named a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Ceballos is a graduate of Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and her work has appeared on FRONTLINE, VICE News, HBO, Showtime, Telemundo, Al Jazeera, Univision, NBC News, TIME, and The New York Times.
“We are thrilled with these two impressive additions,” said Chris Buckle, the ESPN vice president who oversees the unit. “With the recent re-signings of senior writers Mark Fainaru-Wada and Michael Fletcher, ESPN is further cemented as the place to find best-in-class investigative and enterprise journalism.”
Wetzel has been honored many times by the Associated Press Sports Editors, with his work regularly appearing in the annual The Year’s Best Sports Writing publication. Previously, Wetzel covered all major professional sports as well as college sports, the Olympics, and the World Cup.
In reflecting on his time with Yahoo Sports, Wetzel was honored to be a part of the growth at the publication.
“Two decades ago, a handful of us—literally—sat in a small conference room in Sunnyvale, determined to turn Yahoo Sports, a bit part of what was then mostly just a search engine, into a powerful and innovative media brand,” tweeted Wetzel. “The most rewarding part, however, was the many, many (too many to name) coworkers through the years who became like family. I’m grateful for the content, the culture, and the loyalty we built together.”
Wetzel co-wrote, as a screenwriter, Life of a King, a 2014 movie starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and Dennis Haysbert. He has authored more than two dozen sports-related books and is a member of the U.S. Basketball Writers Hall of Fame.

Last night, NBA on TNT analyst Charles Barkley delivered a scathing rant that didn’t sit well with FS1 Host Nick Wright. The discussion surrounded the amount of coverage the Los Angeles Lakers receive from “the other network,” ostensibly referring to ESPN. Barkley’s remarks began with him explaining that he saw a “fool idiot” on television talking about how the Lakers saved the NBA. He then revealed that he was referring to ESPN NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins.
The basketball Hall of Famer continued by highlighting how the Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder have been the real stories of the NBA season. He also expressed his distaste for the ongoing debate over who is the G.O.A.T. between Michael Jordan and LeBron James. In fact, he opined that the only people who engage in the discussion are television personalities who lack the talent to talk about other topics.
Barkley’s comments did not sit well with First Things First host Nick Wright, who took to social media to blast the former NBA great.
“Listen, everybody loves Chuck, but we’ve gotta be honest here,” tweeted Wright. “ALL YEAR he’s said the Lakers stink. Not that they’re not the best team in the league. That they’re bad/irrelevant. ALL YEAR he’s minimized anything they’ve done. Then, they trade for Luka and NO ONE was more adamant that it wouldn’t work and that the Mavs were better off this year.”
The Los Angeles Lakers have been on fire with Doncic on the roster, posting a 9-2 record, including an active eight-game winning streak.
“Now that they’re 2nd in the West and have been the best team in the league for the last six weeks, he says they’ve had a good ‘two weeks’ and we still shouldn’t talk about them,” Wright continued. “It’s disingenuous bulls**t from someone who doesn’t want to admit he’s been wrong about this team every step of the way, and it’s OK to say that, despite the fact he’s the funniest and most beloved person in sports TV history.”
The reaction to Barkley’s comments didn’t end with Wright’s post on X. Perkins quickly responded to Barkley’s remarks on social media.
“Hey @NBAonTNT, might wanna tell that senior citizen Charles Barkley that I’ll be around,” Perkins wrote on X. “When he sees an idiot or fool in person, make sure he keeps that same energy. He can come playing with me if he wants to, and I’mma address his ass like the numbers on a house. Straight from the 409, homebody, and we bar none and fade all. #TexasBoy.”
The award-winning studio show Inside the NBA will air on ESPN and ABC beginning next season under a sublicensing deal between Warner Bros. Discovery and The Walt Disney Company. The TNT Sports program will continue into its 36th season with its current cast of Ernie Johnson, Kenny “The Jet” Smith, Charles Barkley, and Shaquille O’Neal.

Audacy began a wave of significant layoffs on Thursday affecting employees nationwide. There is expectation that the layoffs will continue into today (Friday). Up to 300 people could be affected as a result. An Audacy spokesperson told Barrett Media on Thursday that the company was making workforce reductions to position itself for a better business future.
“Audacy has made workforce reductions to ensure a strong and resilient future for the business” said Audacy. “We are streamlining resources to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving media landscape and to best position Audacy to continue serving listeners and advertisers with excellence.”
