Live sports remains one of the stallworths of terrestrial radio, specifically because they are less likely consumed as recorded content. As with call-in show sports talk, Jason Barrett says that the producer behind the scenes can play an important part of the development of a quality show that draws big listenership. Barrett uses his 20-year-plus experience to convey some of the ways in which a host, as well as a producer, can ensure a show's success for the long-term in a business where the margins and the opportunities are dwindling both on the local and national levels.

Live broadcasts are one of the many facets of how Chris Mycoskie helps promote the schools within the Southland Conference. Using his background in television as a sports director in Baton Rogue, Mycoskie has developed a skill set of bringing the action to the audience at home, whether that be through their cable boxes or digital streaming options. Mycoskie discusses the different variables in presenting a live broadcast, including when schools bid on hosting, but don't have the ability to make camera work and television production simple because of their physical locations. Mycoskie also talks about the time that he held back, purposefully, from exploiting the attendance of a famous athlete at a Southland Conference game, and why he believes that was the right call to make, under the circumstances.
