Ken Longs for the Days When Sports Just Felt Free to Watch
Podcast:The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima Published On: Tue Sep 01 2026 Description: Ken and Anthony continue the DAZN streaming debate, taking listener calls and reminiscing about growing up when cable made every game feel effortlessly accessible, contrasting it with today's fractured landscape where NBA playoff games can jump between four or five different streaming platforms. A caller named Patrick argues the constant platform-hopping is going to cost leagues casual fans, and Ken agrees, noting that unlike football's tightly packaged schedule, sports like basketball and baseball rely on that "click in and get hooked" accessibility that paywalls are eroding. The segment wraps the show with Ken reflecting on how younger viewers, already used to streaming everything, may adapt more easily than older fans.
