When CNN took the long-running program “Reliable Sources” off its schedule in 2022, it created an opportunity for others to try their hand at media analysis. Several upstarts are trying to take advantage of it.
SiriusXM will launch “Mediaite‘s Press Club,” a new weekly hour-long show that will analyze events and people affecting the worlds of media and politics. The show, which will debut June 8, will air Saturdays at 10 a.m. on the satellite-broadcaster’s P.O.T.U.S. channel, and repeat at 8 p.m. in the evening. The program debuts not too soon after Semafor, a news outlet that has tried to cultivate a global audience of news aficionados, launched “Mixed Signals,” a new podcast devoted to analysis of the media sector.
