RADIO ONLINE | Tuesday, September 30, 2014

PodcastOne has announced the launch of "The Rich Eisen Show," hosted by veteran sports broadcaster and NFL personality Rich Eisen. Debuting Monday, October 6, an audio version of the recently-announced DirecTV program, which features Eisen's take on the best in the day's sports news and conversation, will be available on-demand at www.PodcastOne.com and via the PodcastOne app.

Eisen is no stranger to the world of podcasting. He launched the highly popular "The Rich Eisen Podcast" under the NFL Media label in 2010, garnering 17 million downloads worldwide over its four-year run.

"The podcast form is in this show's DNA, so I am overjoyed to have The Rich Eisen Show in the PodcastOne family," stated Eisen. "Plus, this leaves me one step closer to my dream of getting Norm Pattiz's Lakers tickets."

Norm Pattiz said, "My courtside seats are now a lock. Rich is a pro's pro. Sports talk on-demand is a digital segment that's breaking big in the podcast universe and we are excited to engage this passionate fan base with the exceptional content Rich consistently creates. His expertise and talent are a great addition to our roster which includes Dan Patrick, Ross Tucker, Steve Czaban and all of Yahoo Sports."

Eisen has made his mark in sports journalism as a television anchor and NFL commentator, launching his career as a staff writer for newspapers in New York and Chicago, and as a local television sports anchor in California. Eisen later joined the ranks at ESPN as a SportsCenter anchor and host of several programs, before becoming the first talent signed by the NFL Network at its inception. Eisen currently hosts the flagship program NFL Total Access, as well as NFL GameDay Highlights and Thursday Night Football.
