INTRODUCTION Sports television is a unique form of broadcasting compared to other programming genres because of the relationship between a professional sports league and a broadcast network. The most unique characteristic of sports television is that a league and a television network sign a multi-year contract for broadcasting rights. Television networks pay large sums of money1 to a sports league for the rights to broadcast a certain number of games over a certain number of years.

  • Kevin Ryan, Dallasobserver.Com: Chaka Khan Emerged Like A
    Kevin Ryan, dallasobserver.com: Chaka Khan emerged like a flamenco dancer, fluttering a silken hand-fan with “CHAKA” etched into its folds. She was the surprise guest for The Roots’ collaboration with the Dallas Pops at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory on Tuesday night, and when she strode onto the stage an hour into the show, the audience lost their minds. Behind her, a 50-piece orchestra sweated in tuxedos. “OK, this next song I’m sure most of you over 30 are familiar with,” she said, her gold sequin dress reflecting light. Chimes rang. Strings undulated. Robert Glasper spun - one-handed - through a synth lead in a beanie, fingers spidering across the keyboard. It took a moment for the crowd to recognize the song “I Know You, I Live You.” With the orchestra, it sounded like Les Fleur-era Minnie Riperton. The beat wasn’t the electronic pulse of the original; it was exotic. Khan sang in perfect bursts, with a rowdy but angelic voice that induced shivers. She didn’t even need a microphone. The show had begun much quieter, with a lone synth and a sample from a poem about death, possibilities and dreaming. Black Thought dove into “Web” over strings, which animated the song. The beat stomped hard as the cellos swayed with Sam Cooke grace. A sea of heads nodded to the sweeping sounds of violins. Each song blended seamlessly into the next. No stops, no chatter, no politics, no time wasted - just music. The Roots’ “Star” melded into Miles Davis, melded into “20 Feet Tall.” Erykah Badu strode onstage in a Tom Petty top hat and majestic jewelry.
