Paul Finebaum Announcement Well-Received Nationally!
Paul Finebaum's move to ESPN, broken by The Wall Street Journal, was well-received nationwide. He made multiple appearances on SportsCenter during his tour of ESPN HQ last week as he met the brass and the staff. Once his deal takes flight, he's going to be a multi-media machine with a TV simulcast of his radio show (think Mike & Mike); all based at ESPN Regional TV HQ in Charlotte and then ultimately becoming the voice of the SEC Network. If you're an interested advertiser, you better sign up now because his star--and price--are only going to go up!
Congrats to Ben May, Jason Jennings and Patrick Morris As They Make the Jump to ESPN, Too!
ESPN continued their raid, or invasion, on Birmingham by hiring the three amigos who oversaw the Birmingham / SEC office for IMG. It's a good hire to ensure collective continuity with relationships between the SEC office, ESPN and the bevy of sponsors who are, or will be a part of the new SEC / ESPN "family."
Until next week, stay tuned...
