The Brian Lehrer Show | Sep 6, 2023

Coming up on today's show:

  • Charter Spectrum has dropped ESPN, as a dispute between the cable provider and Disney (which owns ESPN) heats up. Alex Weprin, media and business writer at The Hollywood Reporter, explains why the two parties are feuding and what it means for customers who are missing out on this year's U.S. Open.

  • Kirsten Gillibrand, U.S. Senator (D NY), talks about her work in Washington and more.

  • Abha Bhattarai, Washington Post reporter covering the U.S. economy, talks about whether hybrid on-site/remote work has changed more than where we work, but also when.

  • Citi Field was named as the winner for best stadium food by USA Today readers! Listeners share their favorite menu items at the stadium and compare it to offerings at other sports arenas and concert venues around the city and country.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
