Hello and welcome to the first episode of the Football Media Podcast.
I'm Jon Mackenzie and, across the course of the new season, I'm going to be bringing you a weekly podcast that seeks to open up the often-murky underworld of the football media. Each episode will bring you an interview with an expert in as many diverse areas within the industry as possible. We've got writers, authors, artists, journalists, broadcasters, event co-ordinators, lawyers, commentators - if you can name it, we've got it.
This week, I'm speaking to Conor Ketley - a Business Development Executive for the sports business events company Leaders in Sport. As part of his job, Conor has to keep his finger on the pulse of the sports media industry and so who better to talk to about Eleven Sports' recent acquisition of the UK broadcasting rights for La Liga and Serie A.
In the course of our conversation, we discuss the history of TV broadcasting of football in the UK, analyse how it has changed in recent years and look at how consumption will change going into the future.

Enjoy!
