Here Comes Sports Pod With David Kogan
Ali vs Frazier; Barca vs Real; the Red Sox vs the Yankees. When heavyweights in sport come up against each other, something magical happens. And on this week's episode of Here Comes Sports Pod is one of the sports rights industry's big hitters, David Kogan.
Currently a board member of C4, David has had a stellar career as a journalist, TV and radio producer and author, but he specialises in negotiating TV sports rights and acted as the primary media advisor to the English Premier League for 17 years, often stepping into the ring with Sky and my recent guest Mike Darcey. So whilst the setting may have been more back garden than Madison Square Garden, David and I were still able to cover some fascinating areas, including his early days in media, building a competitive market for the EPL's TV rights, the role of regulation in sport and the potential for the WSL. Think of this episode as the Chill in Muswell Hill - enjoy!
