Broncos fans: Monday morning quarterback with Ch. 7

[Colorado Media Newsroom]

From The Denver Post:



In the old days, sports talk radio had this handled. Now, Monday morning quarterbacking is a second-screen experience. Channel 7 is introducing a Monday morning one-hour digital fan chat for serious Broncos followers: “Orange and Blue Review.”

Beginning Sept. 8 at 7 a.m., the “appcast,” or mobile cast and chat sponsored by area Honda dealers, will go live, hosted by 7News’ Mitch Jelniker and Lionel Bienvenu. It won’t be televised on Channel 7 (“Good Morning America” will be in progress). The audience is instead encouraged to chime in via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Skype or phone. A chat box will be launched under the live-stream, and questions will be welcome on various platforms.

To watch, download the free 7NEWS app for iPhone, Android or iPad or live-stream online at TheDenverChannel.com. The stream will also be simulcast on the station’s digital channel, Comcast Channel 247.

Obviously, the challenge was to launch a Broncos show without having rights to actual Broncos. So Channel 7 decided to create a show using the fans’ mania as material, modeled on Scripps sister station WEWS’s show in Cleveland, “Dawgs on the Run.”
