The NFL Draft Telecast Will Be Unlike Any In TV History (Podcast)

Michelle McKenna, the NFL's Chief Information Officer, joins Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr to discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including next week's NFL Draft, which will be conducted and broadcast digitally. Featuring over a 100 different feeds from NFL coaches, GMs, fans and prospects, the draft telecast will be a totally unique experience for those participating and those watching at home. McKenna discusses the thousands of dollars of equipment shipped to each of the 58 draft prospects who will be on camera, plus the other intricacies of putting the event together at a time of remote working and social distancing. She also talks about what aspects of the telecast may become a feature of future drafts even when they are back to being held in person.
