Moore added, “Dom and I worked together in the 1990s, and the chance to reunite actually has me excited to get up at 4 a.m. I can’t wait for listeners to share that excitement and energy with us.”

Sunday afternoon’s FOX Sports NFL broadcast between the Dallas Cowboys and the Baltimore Ravens was the most-watched television show of the week, pulling in 27,291,000 viewers. ‘America’s Game of the Week’ started out as a lopsided game with the Ravens leading 21-6 at halftime and 28-6 after three quarters. The Cowboys scored 19 unanswered points in the fourth quarter but fell 28-25.

The game, which featured Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady in the booth, also marks FOX’s most-watched telecast of any kind since the 2024 NFL Championship game in January.

For the season, ‘America’s Game of the Week’ is averaging 25.6 million viewers, which is up 27% over the previous year which averaged 20.2 million. It is also the network’s best start for AGOTW since 2016.

In the regional window this past weekend, FOX Sports averaged 14.5 million viewers, an increase of 19% year-over-year.

For the season to date, the NFL on FOX is averaging 19.6 million viewers, up 23% over last year’s season-to-date average, and the best start since 2016.

Dave Portnoy: I Won the 670 The Score Producer For A Day Auction and Expect to Be on Show with Dan Bernstein

Dave Portnoy: I Won the 670 The Score Producer For A Day Auction and Expect to Be on Show with Dan Bernstein

The one-sided feud between Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy and 670 The Score host Dan Bernstein isn’t over. In fact, it has taken a new turn.

After claiming that it was a duty for fans of Barstool Sports to ruin Bernstein’s professional life after a clip of the Chicago sports radio host responding negatively to Barstool Eddie went viral earlier this month, Portnoy took his vendetta against the host and brand a step farther.

As part of a charity fundraiser, the station offered up an auction item that allowed the winner to serve as a Producer for a Day with the station’s midday show. Naturally, Dave Portnoy won that auction. But changes to the station’s lineup have seen Dan Bernstein and Laurence Holmes split up. Holmes is now heard in afternoon drive with Matt Spiegel, while Bernstein remains in the 10 AM-2 PM window with new co-host Marshall Harris.

Portnoy doesn’t care about the changes to the station’s lineup. All he cares about is being able to produce a show Bernstein is hosting.

“Dear 670 The Score I have a question,” Portnoy wrote on social media. “Now that Holmes ditched Dan Bernstein what show do I get to produce? I won that auction to be Bernstein’s boss for a day. I want to produce his show.”

It does not appear as if either 670 The Score or Dan Bernstein have commented publicly on the reaction from Barstool Sports fans or founder Dave Portnoy.

Earlier this month, the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers announced they were parting ways with ROOT Sports, one year before their contract was to expire with the regional sports network. Now, the team has announced a new partnership with Sinclair Broadcast Group which will see a network of television affiliates throughout the Pacific Northwest which will serve as the new television home of the Trail Blazers known as the Rip City Television Network.

The team also announced the launch of a new, paid, subscription-based direct-to-consumer streaming service, BlazerVision starting with the 2024-25 season. The announcement marks the first time in Trail Blazers history that a majority of games will be available to fans via over-the-air television.

Fans within the Trail Blazers local broadcast market will have access to watch all local and non-exclusive nationally televised games across Sinclair’s family of local over-the-air television stations in Portland, KATU and KUNP.  Outside of the Portland metro area, games will be available on Sinclair stations in Seattle, Medford, Eugene and Yakima/Pasco with the expectation being more markets will be added in the coming months.

“Launching the Rip City Television Network and BlazerVision is a turning point for our fans,” said Dewayne Hankins, President of Business Operations, Portland Trail Blazers and Rose Quarter in a statement. “We’ve put our fans first and started a new chapter, making it easier than ever to enjoy Trail Blazers basketball. Whether on TV or streaming with BlazerVision, we believe this is the best way to create lifelong fans and keep them connected. This is a big win for all of Rip City.”

“Partnering with the Trail Blazers to launch the Rip City Television Network aligns with our mission to continue to add value to our broadcast stations and provide greater accessibility and engagement for local sports fans. By delivering Trail Blazers games via broadcast television, we are bringing innovative solutions to reach more households across the Pacific Northwest. We look forward to the immense impact this partnership will have for basketball fans throughout the region,” said Scott Shapiro, Executive Vice President, Corporate Development and Strategy, Sinclair.

The team also confirmed Kevin Calabro, Lamar Hurd and Brooke Olzendam will return for their eighth season to call all Trail Blazers games on the new broadcast home. Trail Blazers Broadcasting will continue to produce the pregame, halftime and postgame show for each game. Others who will also be involved with Trail Blazers TV coverage include Michael Holton, Neil Everett, Jamie Hudson, Terry Porter, and Tom Haberstroh.

The price for BlazerVision is $120 for the full season or $19.99 per month. Those who sign up for the full season before Nov. 1 will get two upper deck tickets to any Blazers home game. Current season ticket holders will receive a free one-year subscription to BlazerVision.

CBS Sports Draws 6.3 Million Viewers for USC-Michigan, Most-Watched College Football Game of the Week

CBS Sports drew 6.3 million viewers for its Big 10 matchup between USC and Michigan this past Saturday. The game aired in the 3:30 p.m. ET window and the audience size made it the most-watched college football game of the week on any network.

The matchup featured two ranked teams who have a lot of history, but this was a Big 10 conference game which is still strange to say for many sports fans out west. Michigan, ranked 18th coming into the game, knocked off USC, who came in ranked 11th, by the score of 27-24.

The game peaked with more than ten million viewers and was the most-watched 3:30 p.m. ET Week 4 game on CBS in 10 years, up 37% over last year’s Ole Miss-Alabama game in the same slot.

Additionally, CBS says Paramount+ delivered its most-streamed September college football game ever.
