Olympic Media: Inside the Biggest Show on Television Olympic Media Located in the United States, NBC (National Broadcasting Company) is the biggest and most powerful Olympic network in the world, having won the rights to televise both the Summer and the Winter Olympic Games. By way of attract- ing more viewers of both sexes and all ages and ethnicities than any other sporting event, and through the production of breathtaking spectacles and absorbing stories, NBC’s Olympic telecasts have huge power and potential to shape viewer perceptions. Billings’s unique text examines the production, content, and potential effects of NBC’s Olympic telecasts. Interviews with key NBC Olympic producers and sportscasters (including President of NBC Universal Sports and Olympics Dick Ebersol and primetime anchor Bob Costas) outline the inner workings of the NBC Olympic machine; content analyses from ten years of Olympic telecasts (1996–2006) examine the portrayal of nationality, gender, and ethnicity within NBC’s telecast; and survey analyses interrogate the extent to which NBC’s story- telling process affects viewer beliefs about identity issues. This mixed-method approach offers valuable insights into what Billings portrays as “the biggest show on television”. Andrew C. Billings is an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Communication Studies, Clemson University, USA. Routledge Critical Studies in Sport Series Editors Jennifer Hargreaves and Ian McDonald University of Brighton The Routledge Critical Studies in Sport series aims to lead the way in developing the multi-disciplinary field of Sport Studies by producing books that are interrog- ative, interventionist and innovative. By providing theoretically sophisticated and empirically grounded texts, the series will make sense of the changes and challenges facing sport globally.

Equally, the cultural impact of media sport – most especially televised sport – has been subject to analysis in numerous critical texts. Yet surprisingly few texts have engaged in a systematic and detailed way with the actual production processes of television coverage of the Olympic Games. In writing Olympic Media: Inside the Biggest Show on Television, Andrew Billings has recognised the huge influence of the Olympic telecast and by tak- ing a creative approach, he has produced a highly original text that tells an ‘insider’ story of its production. Moreover, he has done so by looking specifi- cally at America’s NBC telecast which is by far the most influential Olympic network in the world, having paid $894 million for the US rights to the 2008 Beijing Games and whose Chairman of Sports and Olympics, Dick Ebersol, negotiated for live prime-time events for American audiences. As a result, the final of the 400-meter individual swimming medley in Beijing will take place just a little after 10 a.m. – ‘an ungodly hour for an Olympic swimming final, but a perfect time for NBC: 7 p.m. in Los Angeles, 8 p.m. in Denver, 9 p.m. in Chicago and 10 p.m. in New York’. This decision will disadvantage European viewers – it will be 3 a.m. in London and 6 a.m. in Moscow. Gaining access to key protagonists in these decision-making processes is extremely difficult, especially for critical scholars. So it is a real coup for this Routledge Critical Studies in Sport series that Andrew Billings was able to inter- view Dick Ebersol himself and also NBC’s primetime anchor, Bob Costas, as well as other key NBC professionals. The result is that you will be able to read about their very personal opinions on Olympic sport, and about their eventful and challenging roles as producers and sportscasters. Readers will gain a unique insight into how and why decisions are made about what the viewers see and the language accompanying the television images. Another original feature of the book is the content analysis of data that were meticulously collected over a period of ten years, concerning the depictions of nationality, ethnicity and gender in Olympic telecasts. The two very different research approaches complement one another, and together tell a fascinating story of the actual workings and hidden effects of a major television sports x Series editors’ foreword extravaganza that most viewers in America take for granted. With its innovative research approach, Andrew Billings’ book will undoubtedly make an important contribution to the study of sport and the media, and sets the scene for further investigation and analysis of the processes of production and the cultural and social impact of sport on television. Jennifer Hargreaves (University of Brighton) Ian McDonald (University of Brighton) Preface February 22, 1980 LAGRANGE, INDIANA (USA)––I am seven years old, riding home from the local K-Mart with my father when we witness something odd occurring in a road- side clearing. Three cars are parked; all appear to be in working order. A group of eight disparate people seem to be celebrating. My father dismisses them as “high on something” and we continue home. A few hours later, we are watching the Lake Placid Winter Olympics on tape delay. The United States ice hockey team is playing the Soviet Union in the semifinals of the medal round. Gradually, we see the events unfold and the improbable 4–3 US victory becomes reality. We wonder about those eight people along the side of the road. Had they known? Maybe they were “high”, but with- out chemical inducements. Later, I read in the newspapers about the sporting phenomenon that had occurred that evening when total strangers were celebrat- ing a victory in a sport that did not have a widespread following in the country––people of different racial, economic, and social backgrounds bonding over the commonality of being proud Americans.

  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.
