CBS and Tony Romo agree to huge contract

February 29, 2020

CBS and football commentator Tony Romo have agreed to a massive new contract that could set a record and make Romo the highest paid sportscaster. About to become a free agent, with his contract expiring over the weekend, Romo - the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback - and the network have reportedly agreed to a new multi-year deal worth $17M a year. Also, You Tube TV has agreed to extend its carrying of Sinclair's regional sports networks, including YES, while negotiations on a new deal continue. I have that and more in a special edition of the Sports Media Beat.  Links to stories discussed in this podcast:
