Shannon Sharpe takes 'Club Shay Shay' podcast from FOX to Colin Cowherd's The Volume Network

[Surreal]

I like this move better than the ESPN one

Paying for celebrity guest cost money as people aren’t doing podcast these days for free.

Yeah
Also now he probably gets a couple freebies that are also with the Volume like Draymond and Sherman

That's what I was thinking. Maybe there's a level of infrastructure on the back end that were not aware that Shannon doesn't want to do himself.

I think this is it right here. All Shannon has to do is show up , interview, and leave. If he ran things himself he’d have to come out of pocket and be responsible for production etc…On a bigger scale I think it’s similar to why Pat Macafee went to ESPN because they will handle everything behind the scenes. Most talents just wanna get in and get out and don’t wanna have to deal with that other shyt

I don’t know if it’s always been the case or been more prevalent since more and more celebrities are now doing podcasts.

The article you shared is about the guests paying the podcaster.

Why does he need to be on any “network”. He can’t just be on YouTube?

From what Marcellus said his cameras and setup is hella expensive.

And his staff were probably on FOX's payroll.

Including his stylist, Hollywood @Walt

Buddy is a good guy and kinda knowledgeable but he acts like he's plugged in.

Never heard of this shyt til now

Big catch for Coward tho I guess

I just don't see how Shannon paying Steve Harvey or Omarion makes any sense. All these celebs are dying to talk about themselves and according to his article are willing to pay to do so. He was talking about it so confidently I just wanted to see some sources or corroboration of what he was asserting. I'm sure he'll circle back to clarify.

Production cost money and I bet the people behind the scenes are not doing it for free. Also, not all of the guest are doing the show for free either. If they are doing a solid for Shannon, it still cost money to fly them down there plus room and board for the night (not everyone wants to do a damn zoom interview). Plus he states that it's a partnership, so maybe Shannon is get some $$$ on the backend compare to what he was getting on Fox. These networks are cutting down on the money but still want control of the product so Colin probably gave him a better deal and freedom than anyone else. Even the semi-successful Youtube podcasters still have 2nd jobs or side hustles to make ends meet.

Same for me. I said in the other thread that he has enough cache to plant his own flag and do his own thing and before people start I'm hearing this is a partnership and he not just an employee like he would be over at Disney. ESPN is a dying platform and those rounds of layoffs just wouldn't sit well with me. I'm glad he's not doing the conventional easy thing which is to play musical chairs. Hope it works out.

He couldn't come up with a better name than Shay Shay?

Hoping he makes all his decisions this week so we can stop hearing all the pseudo media consultant takes from everyone on here and y’all go back to doing what y’all do best, being A&R’s in the Booth.
