Episode 91 of the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast features a a return of the roundtable sports media discussion with John Ourand, media reporter for the Sports Business Daily, and Jimmy Traina, writer for Awful Announcing and The Comeback.

In this podcast, we discuss the uptick in NFL ratings over the past two weeks and whether it means anything for the long-term; the impact of Donald Trump’s election win on the NFL ratings versus a win by Hillary Clinton; why ESPN’s Monday Night Football schedule is always worse than the other rightsholders;

the heavy declining subscriber numbers for ESPN, FS1 and NBCSN and how much lower that number can go; what the immediate television future holds for Bill Simmons; where the UFC will go when its rights deal ends in 2018; why DG Media loves other podcasts more than this one, and much more.
