I’m excited to get the day started for so many people.

‘Up & Adams’ Added to truTV, MSG Network Lineups

As the Up & Adams show enters its third season on FanDuel TV, the morning program continues to expand its distribution to provide consumers with more ways to watch the show. Last November, the program was added to the Bleacher Report Sports Add-On through Max, the OTT streaming service from Warner Bros. Discovery, in addition to The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz.

With the new NFL season getting underway, the show will now be airing nationally on truTV every weekday at 5 p.m. EST, along with locally on MSG Network live at 11 a.m. EST. The show is also available to watch on FanDuel TV, FanDuel TV+ and YouTube, granting fans a variety of options through which they are able to view the original show.

“So thrilled to grow the show! Expanding our distribution is a dream,” host Kay Adams said in a statement. “Grateful to FanDuel for the support and to the ‘Up & Adams’ team. We are ready for more guests, more fun, and more moments NFL fans will love!”

Ahead of the season, Adams took part in a training camp tour in which she visited 20 cities across the National Football League. During these visits, she interviewed several star players, coaches and other team personnel, providing a comprehensive look at the landscape of the sport as its teams vie for a Super Bowl championship.

“We are excited to continue the momentum Kay built during her 20 city NFL training camp tour with expanded distribution of the best daily NFL show on TV,” Richard Isakow, senior director of sports programming at FanDuel, said in a statement. “Increasing the distribution of Kay’s unique insight and unmatched interviews with new linear, streaming and social partners will help take ‘Up and Adams’ to another level.”

In the third year of the show, Adams will include Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams, Hall of Fame linebacker Luke Kuechly and four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski to the airwaves as weekly guests. Kuechly is slated to appear on the program on Mondays, while Davante Adams will be on the program Tuesdays. Additionally, Gronkowski will return for an extended guest spot on Wednesdays, dubbed as “GronkDay,” where they will discuss the latest NFL news and action. 

As it pertains to its presence on truTV, the show is part of an expanded programming block that includes live game and event coverage from Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League among other sports entities. Starting in October, viewers will see TNT Sports branding and graphics immersed within the network’s primetime programming lineup. TNT Sports is expected to end the year televising approximately 1,000 hours of sports programming on truTV.

Sports Media Reacts to Tom Brady Broadcast Debut with FOX Sports

Former NFL quarterback and seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady made his debut in the broadcast booth on Sunday for FOX Sports as the Dallas Cowboys faced the Cleveland Browns. Situated alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt, Brady delivered analysis of the inter-conference matchup to begin the season. The game marked Brady’s first live NFL broadcast under a reported 10-year deal worth $375 million, drawing considerable interest from sports media professionals.

Brady is working on the lead broadcast crew for the NFL on FOX with the aforementioned Burkhardt, in addition to sideline reporters Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi and rules analyst Mike Pereira. The crew is slated to call Super Bowl LIX from Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, La. to close the 2024 season. FOX Sports is currently in its second season of a 10-year contract with the National Football League worth a reported $2.25 billion annually.

Brady is reportedly working under broadcast restrictions related to his bid to purchase a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders. Due to his impending ownership venture, he is unable to attend in-person or online broadcast production meetings and cannot access team facilities, players or coaches. Moreover, Brady must adhere to league constitution and bylaws prohibiting public criticism of officials or other clubs, the latter of which applies to all 32 NFL teams except the Raiders.

myTalk 107.1 Minneapolis Hosts Domestic Violence Discussion

Hubbard Broadcasting’s KTMY (myTalk 107.1)/Minneapolis recently hosted a Domestic Violence Roundtable with Justin Baldoni, the producer, director, and star of “It Ends With Us.”

Colleen Lindstrom, Brittany Arneson, and Kendall Mark hosted the two-hour afternoon drive event. 

The discussion aimed to facilitate an open dialogue that would remove unwarranted shame from victims and shed light on the issue, paving the way for a solution.

Representatives from the NO MORE Foundation and Tubman joined myTalk 107.1 and actor Justin Baldoni to discuss the NO MORE Foundation’s national mission to end domestic and sexual violence through increased awareness, inspired action, and cultural change.

Baldoni’s film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel “It Ends With Us” has sparked crucial conversations about domestic violence. As the film’s producer, director, and star, Baldoni has helped to bring this issue into the public consciousness through his portrayal.

The program is available on demand here.
