21:54Now PlayingIt’s brackets season! And you can watch all 67 games of both the women’s and men’s NCAA tournament on national TV, thanks to David Levy. Levy spent 33 years at Turner Broadcasting, eventually serving as its president, where he expanded the network’s NBA coverage. Levy is probably best known for brokering a $10.8 billion rights agreement that made every March Madness game available nationally across CBS and the Turner networks for the very first time.
In this episode of The Deal, Alex and Jason talk to Levy about the ins and outs of the March Madness deal. He also tells the story of how he got Shaq to fill Inside the NBA’s fourth chair and why the key to that show’s success is letting Charles Barkley talk. Finally, Levy shares more about his current venture, Horizon Sports & Experiences, and why he’s betting big on women’s sports and pickleball.
